  1. Ok got everything done today so here is the rest Hood Pin Installation 40) Open your hood and you will see the place where the hood pin will install too 41) The plug for the hood pin switch is just under the hood pin switch mounting point, unplug this from the factory plastic piece 42) The hood pin switch only goes in one way so push it into the mounting hole until it clips in 43) Plug the plug you unplugged in step 41 into the bottom of the hood pin switch Installation is now complete!!! You will then need to go to your local dealer and have the remote start activated with IDS. I have heard and seen a lot of different prices for this....HOWEVER it took my dealer all of 30 minutes to do and was $45 for labor. If your dealer is gouging you or charging something else I would either report them to Ford, or find another dealer Here is how the remote functions ...and here are the new Remote Start MyTouch Menus
  2. I got mine from Josh at Tasco Automotive Group, I am not sure if he wants the price posted so I will just give you his email address: jlaliberte@tasca.com The original email I sent to him read "....Hello, I have a 2011 Ford Edge and would like a price on the BB5Z-19G364-C remote start kit. Thanks!...." I will say though that its was under $280!!
  3. 36) Re-attach center trim piece 37) Put spare tire cover back in place(if you removed it) 38) Re-attach the floor trim piece you removed in step 5 39) Put the cargo cover back into place At this point everything is buttoned up.....except for where you want to mount your LED and Valet switch, right now they should be sticking out of your fuse box cover. I will let you decide on where you want to mount these to best suite your personal preference The other thing that I did not put in the guide yet is the hood pin switch. This is required for the installation(Part # BT4Z-19G366-A)...I did not put it in this DIY yet because when I ordered the remote start I forgot to order it...:-( The part is ordered and will be in this week, so as soon as it is in, I will include it in the DIY. The hood pin switch is VERY easy to install, should not take more than 20 seconds. Once everything is installed you will need to go to your dealer and have the unit activated via IDS. From what I have read the price is varying from dealer to dealer, our dealer here said it would be $79 to do. Again this will be done this week and I will post the results/process/experience as well as a video of it in action. I hope this has helped, I know in watching the video(that video was from an F-150), that was posted on other thread/forums it would have you believe this install takes 30 minutes...while it might be possible to do it in that short of time, in my opinion to do it right it will take you a bit longer. While the install is not hard at all on the Edge, there are just a few more steps you have to go through.
  4. 28) Set the left rear panel back in the vehicle so that you can reattach all of the wiring to it Attach the grey plugged harness for the light 29 Attach the grey plugged harness from the remote start antenna module, and the black & white square plugged harness from the remote start module to the panel 30) Tidy up all your wiring using electrical tape or wire ties ***Its worth noting here that the multiple body clips on the antenna wire harness are not used or attached to anything on the 2011 Edge *** 31) If your vehicle is equipped also re-attach the wire harness for the rear seat fold down switches and the 12v outlet 32) Re-install the left rear cover panel Make sure you reinstall the 2 plastic body clips in the panel to the floor 33) Reattach the cargo net anchor 34) Using T50 Torx bit reattach seat belt anchor 35) Place left rear cargo/storage tray back into place
  5. 21) Begin routing/securing the led, and valet switch to the front of the vehicle along the factory wiring harness, using electrical tape, or wire ties Route the wires through the black plastic piece from Optional Step 20b Continue following factory harness past the B-Pillar Route the 2 wires through the drivers side factory loom in the door way [imghttps://photos.smugmug.com/DIY/2011FordEdgeRemoteStart/i-ZWWv7CN/0/O/edge_rs077.jpg[/img] Once you have these 2 wires up front near the fuse panel under the dash you can then close the plastic doors that cover the wires in the door way 22) Go ahead and then tighten the 2 10mm screws, if you used the Optional 20b step 23) Re-attach the B-Pillar cover 24) Reinstall the plastic trim piece in on the drivers side door well 25) Next we will install the shock sensor, remove the protective film from the double sided tape and attach shock sensor to vehicle 26) Plug the shock sensor into the main remote starter wiring harness 27) Plug the square vehicle wiring harness plug into the remote starter wiring harness Its now time to reinstall the left rear cover panel
  6. Its now time to mount the remote start module This is where the module will mount 16) Remove the protective film from the velcro on the remote start module and attach to vehicle fender well 17) Plug in the 5-wire antenna wire to the remote start module 18) Using extra wire ties clean up the excess wiring 19) Now attach the main harness to the remote start module(The plugs are poka-yoked so only one will fit the plug on the remote start unit) Now we will run the led, and the valet switch to the front of the vehicle 20) Open the drivers side door and remove the plastic trim piece from the door way(no tools required, and good pull will do) While your here go ahead and pop open the plastic covers(we will be running the wires along side the factory runs) 20) Remove the B-pillar plastic cover(no tools required, a good pull will do) 20b **This step is optional, but it makes things eaiser** Where you removed the plastic cover in step 5 there is a black plastic cover that houses the wires. If you lift up slightly on the carpet there you will notice 2 10mm nuts. Remove these, but do not remove the plastic piece. We will leave this loose so we can route our led, and valet switch through it
  7. Since you are only allowed to post so many images at a time I had to make multiple posts.... 9) Once you have all of the wires removed, remove the 2 white plastic body clips from the panel 10) Remove the left rear panel The first item to go in will be the antenna module This is where the antenna module will mount 11)Plug in the grey plugged antenna wire(it is the one with several body clips attached to it) 12) Using the supplied white wire ties attach the antenna to the vehicle 13) Its now time to mount the antenna Plug the black 5-wire harness into the antenna 14) Route 5-wire antenna harness through the plastic C-Pillar cover 15) Remove the protective film from the double sided tape on the back of the antenna and attach to rear window(You may want to clean the window with alcohol before sticking antenna to window)
  8. Thought this might be a good DIY to have. **First working on your own vehicle you so at your own risk** **Second this is the way I chose to do it, and is purely for guidance/help, I do not work for Ford, nor am I a Ford Technician** Tools Needed: T50 Torx Bit Body Clip tool, or flat blade screw driver, or needle nose pliers Diagonal Nose Wire Cutter Pliers (dykes) Optional Tools: Extra Wire Ties 10mm socket Electrical Tape 200 Series Kit (Part #: BB5Z-19G364-C) Whats Included in the Kit 1) Open the rear hatch and remove the center trim piece(no tools are required just, raise the hooks, and a good pull will do) 2) Raise the rear cargo/spare tire cover and remove 3) Remove the left rear plastic cargo/storage tray 4) Using body clip tool/flat blade screw driver/needle nose pliers remove the 2 plastic clips on the floor from the left rear side panel(these suck...so be patient) Also be sure to unscrew and remove the top left rear cargo anchor 5) Open the left rear door and remove the small plastic cover in the door way(no tools required, simply a good pull will do) 6) Using a T50 Torx bit, remove the left rear seat belt anchor 7) You can then begin to separate the left rear panel from the vehicle(DO NOT pull this all the way off yet, since there are wires attached) **NOTE when you separate the rear section of the left rear panel from the vehicle, be careful when pulling away the black rubber molding as Ford uses a tan grease/sealant on this, and it is hard to get off of things) 8) With the panel leaned over unplug all the connections that are attached to the left rear panel
  9. Sorry about the delay, I have all the pictures uploaded, and will do the step by step today. Don't hesitate, its definitely something you can do yourself.
