Nice, I have a few friends up there, they love it! What color Edge do you drive?

I've got a 2011 Black Edge Sport

Hey Mani

I'm up in Rockland County, NY - sharing borders with Bergen County, NJ.

When I picked up my 2011 Edge Sport, I was about to purchase a set of wheel locks, then the dealer told me they come with locks and even put them on for me.

If I recall correctly, when you're in the home screen view, the tab says "Entertainment", but when you go into the Nav/Climate/Phone views, the song/artist appears in the entertainment tab.

Used to have that problem, too. Sprayed some WD40 on the latch - problem solved.

I'm no expert, but from what I've read around different forums, it seems the normal range for TFT is between 160F-200F. When I google search "transmission oil temperature gauge", I get gauges with a temperature range of 100F-250F. Based on these findings, I think I have it right.

So to answer your question e350, this morning I drove for 30 minutes in 70F weather and my TFT was at 187F.

So I had a scan gauge sitting in my closet that used to be in my 03 Expedition that I traded in for my 2011 Edge Sport last year. Over the weekend I decided to install it in the Edge. I just finished programming all the Ford specific X-Gauges that the Edge returned data on. Below is a list of them if anyone is interested.

If you know of any others that work, please feel free to share. I've got 9 available x-gauge slots to fill :P

Had the same problem with mine - a drop of elmer's glue on each clip has fixed the problem.

Got mine last year from Amazon for $150 shipped.

I have the same problem when the weather warms up, too. Are you using Rain-X (orange colored) washer fluid? For some reason it only "pisses" when filled with the Rain-X. When I use the standard washer fluid (any brand of the blue stuff) I don't have this issue.

OK had another big MFT meltdown this weekend so I am planning on installing the upgrade sans navigation for now. But can anyone who has done this confirm that when the package arrives or when the dealer completes the upgrade all the files load correctly? Just wanted to make sure the auto install process isn't tied to a general MFT app which may cause it to think I am fully updated.

I upgraded back on 3/9 and got my update package 3/17. Used the navigation yesterday and it worked perfectly - nice new graphics, smoother operation.

Started the update at home just before heading out to a friend's house (about 45 min away). By the time I got to his house, the update was complete and actually sat in the driveway for a bit to check out the new interface. Much happier now - all I need now is the new SD for the nav -

Anyone hear any ETAs on the new maps?

I've had mine for 6 months now - I've had to replace a ballast twice since. The nice thing is when ever I had an issue, Retro was quick to respond. As long as you first go through all the troubleshooting steps they provide, they will send a replacement pretty quickly.

I'm using the 6000K kit and I'm happy with it. 8000K has a nice blue if that's what you're looking for, but to Alpine's point - it does provide less light.

The installation was easy - Retro emailed me a separate wiring diagram for installation. There was no bulb modification or capping necessary, however you do need to drill a hole (about the size of a quarter) in the headlight access cover on the back of the headlamp. I've read some people just left the cover off and ended up with moisture issues.

Overall I'm happy with the kit and satisfied with the customer support.

Good luck!

3) the iphone doesn't support contact photos - only a few phones do support it right now.

According to this updated chart, iPhone 4 does support photo ID.

Anyone get this to work yet?

I have a 2012 Ford Edge Limited and only had it a week..Liking it very much..One quick question..When the phone rings I see on the 8 in screen to accept or reject..How do I say a command or use 1 of the buttons on the steering wheel to answer the call..Any help would be appreciated..Thanks

When the screen says accept/reject, the accept option is already highlighted so I press "OK" on the right side steering wheel.

I never use the phone button on the steering wheel.

Here's the description on the invoice:

"LIftgate would not close. Followed pinpoint F in WSM. Found right side pinch strip to be at fault. Replaced strip."

Anyone know what that strip is?

I looked up the part # 7A1Z-78406A76-B on the ford parts website, but couldn't really figure it out.

Everything is working normally now - I'm just curious as to what the part is.

Where are you standing when you close it? I just bought a 2012 and if I stand off to the side of it, even far away, when I close it it will not close. If I stand directly behind the gate it will close. My 2008 never did that so not sure if the sensors are more sensitive.

Directly behind when using the remote.

Ford Tech says they need to order a part - should have it in stock tomorrow, probably have installed on Friday. I hope this fixes it. :unsure:

No troubles when closing manually.

In the vehicle settings, the liftgate is set to enabled. Some have send disabling and then re-enabling fixes certain liftgate issues, but had no effect for me.

I'm at the dealership right now and they seem to be stumped. The technician says he's going to hook up a computer to the vehicle to see if it's a programming issue. I'll post the results.

Used the remote to open, loaded in some gear, then pressed liftgate button in the cargo area to close, but nothing happened. Pressed the liftgate button 2x on the remote - nothing. Went to the liftgate button on the dash, still nothing. So I closed the liftgate manually and proceeded to drive home.

When I got home, I pressed the liftgate button on the dash and the liftgate opened as normal. Removed my gear and tried to close using all available buttons - nothing worked. Had to close manually again. Went to my computer, searched the forums but didn't find anyone with the same exact issue I had. Went to the manual and followed the liftgate reset instructions: disconnect battery for 20 sec, manually close liftgate, power open liftgate. Still did not correct the error.

Before I take it to the dealer, anyone have any suggestions or experience with an issue like this?

Does this issue apply to AWD Edges through all years?

Your hard work paid off! Lights look great!

All, recently traded my 2011 Edge Limited for an 2011 MKX. Several mods I'd like to start with are:

 

1) Install my Escort 9500xi radar detector. I have the blendmount and the Invisicord already and just need to know the wire colors for the switched power (on/off with the key). The MKX is loaded so there must be a wire in the overhead console area that I could tap into. I did this with my 2009 F150 and it worked great...anyone know the proper wires?

 

2) While the MKX has dual exhaust, it's too quiet. My Edge Limited had the faux dual exhaust - but it did have just a bit of rumble...wondering what the MKX would sound like if I swapped out the stock muffler for a Magnaflow or removed the rear collectors? I don't want to make this MKX loud or obnoxious - just a subtle change is what I'm looking for.

 

3) Tires. I have the 20' x 8" rims and would like a bit wider tires, for more of the X5 look, but don't want to ruin the handling of the MKX either. Anyone have experiece with this and how did your Edge/MKX handle after you went with wider tires? The 8" rim is fairly narrow so I wouldn't want to go too wide.

 

thanks appreciate your input.

1) I spliced into the black (neg) and the green (pos)

2) Found this on youtube:

3) Sorry, can't help there.

Got mine for my 11 Edge Sport from Retro-Solutions for about $130. Had mine for a month and it works great.
