  1. turn off bluetooth and wireless on your phone, shut your phone down, pull battery, wait 30 seconds. at the same time turn bluetooth off on mytouch, shut the car off. turn the car back on and fire up the bluetooth on the car, crank your phone back up, turn on bluetooth and re-attempt let me know how it turns out
  2. check out page 150 of your owners manual to see if you are programming the memory mirrors correctly. Memory seat and mirrors (if equipped) This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat and outside rearview mirrors, to two programmable positions. The memory seat control is located on the driver door. • To program position one, move the driver seat and exterior mirrors to the desired positions using the associated controls. Press the SET control. The SET control light will briefly illuminate. While the light is illuminated, press control 1. • To program position two, repeat the previous procedure using control 2. A position can only be recalled when the transmission gearshift is in Park (automatic transmission). A memory seat position may be programmed at any time. The memory seat positions are also recalled when you press your remote entry transmitter UNLOCK control and the transmitter is programmed to a memory seat position or when you enter a valid customer code 1 or 2 on the keypad. To program the memory seat to remote entry transmitter, refer to Remote entry system in the Locks and Security chapter.. Note: The seat will not travel to its final position if the key is not in the ignition and the easy entry feature is enabled.

    spark plugs

    correct! 3 valve engine tune up runs 269.95 for V8's with the coil on plug design if no spark plugs break. if a plug breaks you're looking at an additional hour labor per hole that breaks. they can add fast. V10's and 5.4 3 Valves are notorious

    spark plugs

    thank you for pointing that out. there are no spark plugs in the world that will give you horsepower gains people. please understand what component you are replacing before you go looking for an aftermarket upgrade! "Vendors" all over the world are more than happy to tell you their "product" will provide performance or economy gains, but have no substantial evidence of such. once the current passes from coil to plug that is the end of the process for the spark plug. it has no modules that can be programmed or switches that can be turned up. all it does is create an arc of electricity which ignites fuel. At current, there are no known better conductors than the materials being used in virtually all spark plugs, so no matter what the claims say, the only change you make in the way of spark plugs is the gapping of the electrodes. and if you try to "hot gap" an EFI engine you'll be coming to see me at the dealership very quickly. i can assure all of you with almost 100% confidence that factory plugs will give you the all around best experience in the way of service life, durability, cylinder head depth, gapping, and ignition cycles. NGK is a good alternative as well as long as you stay away from "split fire" style
  5. ride difference, no. they ride exactly the same as the platforms are the same and the ecoboosts weight isnt far enough off from the 3.5's to cause any difference in front end feel. fuel economy, its too early to report as there are no 2.0's with more than 15,000 miles on them yet. Too many people make the mistake of calculating fuel economy estimates before the vehicle is broke in and all of the powertrain and drivetrain components have settled in together. true fuel economy doesn't start showing up till ususally around or after 15,000 miles on the odometer. power wise, the 2.0 (by the seat of the pants dyno) feels almost as strong as its v6 counterpart. at times the acceleration feels better in the 2.0 once you've overcome the turbo lag. it's really quite zippy
  6. great lookin edge! enjoy. and welcome to the forum
  7. (in a mildly Scottish accent) "Damn it Jim! She's giving you all she's got!" lol...sorry i had to
  8. to some extent i agree with you about being over oiled. but it boils down to 2 simple things. 1.) the only way to flow more air than the stock filter is to use less filtration media. Less filtration media means more dirt, grit, leaves, road grime, water, and what have you entering the engine. 2.) there are more electronic processes taking place in your intake tube than there were in any 10 cars 20 years ago. hence the problem with running an aftermarket filter
  9. lol...had i paid more attention and caught this it was "one of those" i wouldn't have even replied...i love those ebay scams
  10. keep in mind that the 6F35's line pressures are currently optimal for long service life. you add a chip it WILL change your pressures, shift points, and response times. you're takin a big risk IMHO
  11. not to be negative nancy, but unless you plan on buying 2 of them and following the filter cleaning guide from K&N to the letter, as well as taking it off any time you go to the dealer with a check engine light on you're throwing ur money away. do a search on this forum and read the horror stories that came from an aftermarket filter
  12. to buy factory wheels you're gonna be out some SERIOUS money!!! i had to replace a set of sport rims a few months back for a customer under warranty. The cost was over 6500 dollars!!! Ford's markup on rims is HIGH! but alot of that is due to the price they are sold at when a vehicle is ordered. your 20" wheel option upgrade was probably only 1,000 to 1,500 dollars when the vehicle was ordered. so Ford marks them up to offset the loss from ordered vehicles.
  13. it was in my sync specialist messages on my ford dealer account
  14. yet another reason i say NOT to pull fuses or attempt your own repairs unless you fully understand what you're doing. disconnect your battery (negative terminal) for AT LEAST 5 minutes. reconnect battery, start your car, then wait to see if the performing scheduled maintenance screen comes up. if it just stays black, take it to your dealer
  15. not true. call united radio at 1-800-448-0944 and tell them what your problem is. the kit is around $400 to get sync working. i'm doing the same thing on 2010 limited. it came without nav and i'm gonna add a unit from a 2011 f-250
  16. just wanted to put ink to paper, so to speak, and fill everyone in on my project list for the ol ladies edge. Priority 1 -Upgrade 6CD/MP3 to 2011 Super Duty Nav system. (estimated cost : $1,000 including kit from United Radio) Priority 2 -Illuminated door sills (estimated cost : $140 my cost ) Priority 3 -weighing pro/cons of eibach spring swap all i got so far ALL input is appreciated
  17. good point PeteK. i made the classic mistake of assuming that the repair done prior was final...lol
  18. thats why i stress the importance of making sure you are good and worked up and pissed off and have your facts straight when you call them. the madder and more upset you present yourself to the rep the more of a resolution you will get...keep pushing!
  19. ONCE THE UPGRADE IS INSTALLED AND REPORTED SUCCESSFUL MYTOUCH CUSTOMERS WILL RECIEVE A 1 YEAR COMPONENT WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM THE ORIGINAL NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY START DATE just found this a moment ago
  20. not yet. havent had any come through in awhile
  21. like Ladybird, I'm also the Sync specialist here at my dealership and was at the 2 other dealerships i worked for. I, however have seen these issues and have been deeply involved with the system trying to help find problems so we can develop fixes. I can go back into my file and find the original repair order and write-up that led to the first MyTouch TSB. A Senior Master Technician and myself put well over 30 hours into troubleshooting, updating, re-programming, and paperwork. Not that that makes me anything special, just pointing out that i know this system very well.
  22. Good food and Act of Valor at Tinseltown tonite with Lanie! Can't wait til 6!

  23. if any of you all want an electronic copy of your window sticker PM me your VIN and i can send it to you
  24. with yours being an 09, if you have more than 36,000 miles on or your warranty start date is prior to today of 09 you're gonna be out of warranty. wheels only fall under the 3/36 bumper to bumper. Unless you bought an ESP service contract. if you're out of warranty what you'll need to do is #1 maintain an even temper and tone dealing with your service manager. (more flies with honey than vinegar). #2 let him/her know your situation and that this is the 3rd attempt to rectify the situation without having to replace the rim. #3 let them know that you understand they didn't build it or cause the problem and that they are trying to fix it, but its an inconvenience to you and that you didn't pay for a defective vehicle, so you're going to call Ford Customer Assistance for advice on how to get the issue resolved once and for all. you follow my advice and i can assure you that you will get the issue resolved
