Hello. Bought an AWD Edge Limited one week ago. Still learning many things and have a few newbie questions:
When connecting a cell phone to one of the USB ports, where do you store the phone (an iPhone 4 in my case)? It doesn't seem to quite fit in the center console upper tray and, while fishing the cable through the opening works fine, it appears then that the only storage option is one of the cup holders. Anyone have other ideas?
In my Toyota RAV4, which has an aftermarket iPhone interface, you can set the unit to allow the iPhone/iPod to be controlled by the controls on the device itself. This is occasionally handy when one of my family is in the back seat with their device connected and wants to control the device. Is it possible to set the Ford Edge interface to allow this?
There are two USB ports in the center console (btw, anyone use both simultaneously…I’m trying to figure out when I would) and when I connect to one of them, sometimes there is a significant delay in detecting my iPhone. Sometime just have to unplug and plug back in. Haven’t kept records of my experience but it seems much more likely with one of the USB ports than the other. Is this delay in detecting the iPhone anything to be concerned about or is that just the way it works?
The sequence of events in connecting/disconnecting my iPhone seems to be important to how well things work but I haven’t yet got the pattern down. Some odd things that have happened including no sound through the car speakers even though an audiobook is playing and the time is advancing, no sound from the iPhone speakers after disconnecting, no remembering where it was in the audiobook so it goes to the beginning of the book or to the beginning of another book entirely. All of these are easily remedied but wondering if anyone else has run into similar issues and developed a “system” to avoid them.
Thanks!
