I have I CanadIan Galaxy S5 on Android 4.4.2 and texting works as expected. It is a different version than you have in the US though.

I live in Canada and when there is a Sirius promo I use to get gas prices 100km away in New York...
-
I was wondering if they could be trimmed to fit the SPORT
They are 3D molded to fit so I don't think you would be able to trim them to fit a different shape.
-
No too sure what it means but I had my APIM changed a couple of times and my Sirus ESN changed each time.
-
I have them of the front of my 11. A custom fit as Bking says. They use two of the factory screws each so no drilling and quick to put on.

I have looked on ebay and did see that there are some for sale. It is a bit more confusing as there seems to be two different styles, or maybe they are the same, but one comes with a valve stem and the other looks like a flat band. As I am not the one installing them, I am not sure how the tire center will react if I hand them a set and say use these. I do know that if I use theirs, then they are bound to support them and can't use the "oh, your problem is from..." line on me.
I guess it could just translate it into a beer equation. No beer for me for the next 2 months and that will cover the cost of adding in the TPMP from the tire center.
Since 2011 they have used the stem type TPMS, before that it was the band type. I believe they use different frequencies and can't be interchanged.
I don't think you should have problem getting them to use ebay sensors, if they insisted I buy theirs I would find another tire shop.

When mine gets to 0km left and goes red, I still have 10-15 litres left, so another 100km or so.
I can go through a whole tank in short distance stop and go driving and it will get 15 L/100km, or a bit better in summer. On road trips I have gotten as low as 7.9 l/100km (usually 8-9 at highway speeds).
-
Maybe you can get the dealership to do the cleanout tool service on ALL the remaining doors just to make sure they don't act up
Since I am in Canada they don't have the tool, they just changed it. There are detailed instruction on this site for cleaning the contacts; since I will be paying for repairs now I will try that if it happens again.

I got my 17" from tirerack and they do a good job telling you what wheels will fit on your car.
I have had my snow tires on three winters now and they enrolled the the car's system automatically without flashing a warning until I put the stock wheels on this spring. It went out by itself after a while.
When I ordered from tirerack they called me up insisting I needed the tool. I would have bought one of ebay if it turned out I needed it. Some people on this site don't seem to have them enroll automatically. It seems Canadians have it easier but maybe that is just a coincidence.
Note you can train you wheels without the tool, by letting air out of the tires one at a time so it knows the location of each sensor. I tried this on my 2011 Edge and it works.

Thanks for asking FordService. My Edge is currently at the dealer now and while I was typing this they called to say it was fixed.
Last weekend the door ajar waring finally started staying on all the time, so it would be easy for the dealer to identify he the issue. I also took the TSB in to make sure they didn't miss it (they did with the phantom wiper issue even though I told them about it).
Timing has worked out well, my 3-year warranty is up on Saturday. Time will tell if the door issue re-appears, which I am expecting in a few years.
-
Tirerack has alloy wheels starting at ~$100 and good tires are a lot cheaper than I can find here in Canada. I got Michelin x-ice for mine as thery are rated high and have low rolling resistance (like the factory Michelins). I have 17" on mine, the overall diameter is very close to the 18"
The TMPS sensors are a good idea too, mine were about $170 a few years ago.
-
I will second rwf on this.
I think it is actually stiffer with the hitch installed as the bumper sits on the hitch.
-
Ok so please tell me how I can tell which cans I have?? Also thank you factor thats what I wanted to know. So you have Pro Series on your Edge?
I think I ordered a drawtite but it came in a Cequent box and the instructions had the model numbers of the drawtite, resse and hidden hitch models. I don't know really about the "Pro" brand, but don't imagine they would produce two different models for the same vehicle.
-
Pro, Resse, Hidden Hitch and Drawtite are all from the same manufacturer (Cequent) and as far as I can tell are the same hitch. There are pictures of them on vehicles on this site.
I have one on my 2011 and it fits great.
-
Note they only cycle the affected door latch switch, not replace it. Ask them what warranty goes with the TSB, coz if it happens after warranty expiration, you might be paying for it. Or you could replace it yourself using the HowTo info on this forum.
I wouldn't have guessed that...thanks again. I'll see what they say.
Of course it doesn't do it all the time, so there is a chance it won't do it at the dealer and they will say there isn't a problem....
-
Just found the TSB 14-0011. You be the judge of its' usefulness.
Thanks, I've just started getting the error once in a while and my warranty is up in September.
-
30L/100km is the maximum the instant gauge displays. It maxes out since you aren't moving.
-
Thanks Omar, looks like mine should be covered.
-
Can anyone post TSB 11-11-12? I asked my dealer about phantom wipes and they said they "can't find anything in the system."
-
I had the same problem on my limited in the winter, first the driver side then a day or two later the passenger side. Stayed that way for about a week then they just started working again. Maybe it is controlled by something that can reset itself?
-
My front emblem was replaced under warranty too. They had to send a picture to Ford for approval first.
-
It is 6 feet to the back of centre console. You could have a bit more or less depending on the position of the front seats..
-
kk, do you have the part number/model number and where did you get coupons?
Looking for a hitch and I have read some good comments for the draw-title.
Thanks.
If you sign up for the autoanything email list you will get ad-nausem emails about discounts.
-
What is the tab used for on the Draw-Tite hitch? Is this where we'd attach wiring harness to??
Yes.
Also, if you look at them you will find that the Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese are all the same Cequent hitch.
Wait, what? How did it do that? Gas prices...

In my experience the Sirius promos end a few days later than they say they will. The current promo is on until Feb 16.
I don't think the list of subscriptions means much during the promos; when they are on, mine says I am subscribed to everything except music, but the music is working.
