do i have to bring this back to the dealer or is there a "save settings somewhere i am missing. Im pretty tired of bringing this to the dealer between the sync, the TSB for the ticking at cold startup, and the TSB for the slipping transmission...

i dont mind it coming on while entering or exiting the car, i just dont want it while im driving. Especially at its brightest setting! If its set for off it should turn off when all the other interior light dim out....

mine comes on when i open the doors as a courtesy light like yours, but it stays on while im driving. I dont want it on while im driving... Before the update if i had the ambient lighting set to off, it would come on when the doors opened and shut off when all the other interior lights dimmed out. Now it just stays on.

please delete, posted this in sync forum

thanks

I recently recieved the sync update from the dealer and noticed a problem with the ambient lighting. I turn the ambient lighting to off and everything will be ok. After a couple of times of going in and out of the car (starting and parking it), the ambient lighting will turn back on to the baby blue color and full brightness. Anyone have this problem or know what i can do besides bring it back to the dealer? This is really annoying because i dont want the ambient lighting on at all and it just comes back on...

mine has done the same thing at cold start-ups last winter. (maybe 4 or 5 times) Only last for a few seconds. As soon as it does it this year i will be taking it in because i think this TSB will apply.

tsb11-11-15.pdfI've attached a new TSB titled 3.5/3.7L-Cold Engine Startup Ticking Noise.

Has anyone had this tsb performed? I experienced the ticking sound on startup last winter on my 2011 and am just waiting for the weather to cool down and for it to start up again...

thanks cjd3, looks great.

cool thanks

i guess im just going to get a non folding one that has an angle to it... gotta try and find one with more than a two inch rise.

Oh man, i didnt realize thats what you were talking about when you said it was even with the exhaust pipes... The DeeZee looks like it rises about two inches already: http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/DeeZee/DZ760083.html

maybe it could work, either way this is getting very confusing.

On the etrailer.com website, its indicates that the Curt C13067 has a 5 1/2 inch gap from the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost point of the bumper. The website also states that the DeeZee DZ760083 folding cargo carrier measures 6" from hitch pin hole center to edge of carrier when folded.

So, this setup should work giving a 1/2 inch gap when the carrier is folded up...

Question is does the Draw-Tite have the same 5 1/2 inch gap or is it smaller, because i like the fact that it only uses four bolts and there is no need to drill into my frame? Or i may just use the Curt and not install the extra two bolts that you have to drill for. I really dont think it will ever end up being a problem because i will never be towing with this, all i will ever be using it for is with the carrier when vacationing.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

im not worrried about being able to drill the holes, i just dont want to drill holes in my frame if i dont have to... would love to know if anyone has the draw-tite and if it hits the lower bumper on a 2011?

Does anyone have the Draw-tite 75709 installed? Just curious if it hits or pushes the fascia up at all? Was going to get the Curt, but i dont think i want to drill holes in the frame for the extra two bolts it uses... Also, anyone have a folding cargo carrier? Just wondering which one will not hit the bumper when folded up? I read the DeeZee DZ760083 is the only one that will not hit the bumper when folded up... Anyone think i could install the Curt and just not install the bolts that have to be drilled? It would, in essence be just like the Hidden hitch and Draw-Tite beacuse they would all be just utilizing the same holes. i will only be using the hitch with the folding carrier, i will never be towing with it.

ok, thanks alot guys... I think im gonna go with the Curt. Anybody know where the cheapest place to get it is?

Just wondering what people with 2011's are using for trailer hitches? I read a post that included pictures and gave a few reviews on a few of the more popular models. It seems that the Draw-tite is a good fit, but the rear bumper is pressed up about an inch touching the hitch plate. I also read that the someone who had the Curt installed, was experiencing rattles against the muffler and had to buy new muffler hangers to lower the muffler (which I DO NOT want to do). Have not heard anything bad about the Hidden Hitch, but its also the most expensive. So basically just seeing if anyone had any issues with rubbing or rattling. i dont think i want to deal with the rattle of the Curt, or the bent up bumper from the Draw-tite. I also have to mention that My limited has th two muffler system.

Will the Weathertech liners fit from a 2008 Edge into a 2011 Edge? I know that the 2008"s have one hole on the drivers side front mat and the 2011"s have two holes on the drivers side front mat... Could the 2008 be modified (like maybe cutting a hole where the 2nd hole is) to fit? Are there any other differences in the fronts or in the long rear seat mat betwenn the 08"s an 11"s? I know drilling a hole is kinda defeating the purpose but i just wanna know if they will fit or are there any other size differences in the fronts or rear?

thanks

Just wanted to share my experience with this... 5.5 quarts put me right on the lower dot in my 2011 limited when i changed the oil. Called the dealer to get a definative answer. Service tech said that 5.5 quarts that is listed in the manual is for the oil pan only and doesnt compensate for the oil that is in the oil filter, hence the low reading. He told me that they put in 6 quarts in all the edge's they do. Also said the new manual now say 6 quarts because of the confusion the 11 manuals caused... I put in the other half quart and now it reads just below the top dot in the hatch marks.

Just gonna go over the stock tint with a light shade and then throw some 15% on the two front windows and 35% on the windshield. Dont want it blacked out... just dark enough

Tint it too.

cheap ebay tint is just temporary until late spring... then pulling that off and getting all windows done professionally including the windshield.

For right now, i am just buying some pre-cut fronts from ebay. Decided to play it safe and get the 20%... Still think the 15% would have matched better cause of the extra light coming in from the windshield.

Anybody here use 15% tint on there front windows to match the factory tinted rears? Ive done a lot of searching and looking at photos here to see what people are using and it just seems to me that 20% is a tad too light to match perfectly. Cant find a definative answer about what the true factory tint percentage is either. Anyway, NOT concerned about dicussing tinting laws. Just wanna know if anyone used or know anyone that used 15% and how it matched to the factory tint.

Thanks
