What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I have been using these Philips led backup leds for a while on my MKX and am very happy with them. They have that bluish factory LED look like factory LED revers lights & do in fact illuminate the back brighter while reversing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P2D41OQ/ref=psd_mlt_bc_B00P2D41OQ -
changed the tires and wheels, asking for opinions
omar302 replied to mueineddin's topic in Wheels & Tires
Of course handling will be worse, even without anything else being damaged. Going from 40 series wide tires to 65-series tires will make feel like the car is a bit sloppy with slower wheel reaction in turns. Don't forget also that you selected size is both narrower & higher than stock 18" tires (245/60/18 stock vs. 235/65/18). -
Heated and Cooled Seats

@Picturepro, forgot all about the ES300 Hybrid! -
Heated and Cooled Seats
omar302 replied to Wedgeamatic's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
ES300 means it is a pre 2007 or 2005 model, right? If so, Lexus/Toyota did not have cooled/heated seats, only ventilated/heated seats. My father's 2013 ES350 also has cooled/heated seats, compared to my MKX, the Lexus seats are nosier & less cold. -
I don't use an iPhone, with Android you can add your car's Bluetooth (Sync) as a trusted device & hence it would unlock if connected to it & lock when disconnect. Maybe there is something similar with the iPhone.

omar302 replied to mueineddin's topic in Wheels & Tires
Original 18" tire size is 245/60 R18. But the size you selected is a little closer (in diameter) to the Sport 22" tire (265/40/22). http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator -
Sport Inner Headlighs
omar302 replied to anile_eight's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Not sure if this also applies to the 2015, but 2011-2014 (& 2011-2015 Explorer) with projector headlights (high & low beams that work through moving shield) work this way: If it were a halogen bulb, pulling the turn signal stalk (flash to pass) during day light (headlights off) will cause the high beams (bulb+sheild) to turn on for as long as you pull the stalk.For HID bulbs, during daytime (headlights off), pulling the stalk (flash to pass) will cause the high beams (HID bulb+sheild) to turn on for about 1 second regardless of how long (or short) you pull the stalk. Seems to be kind of a protection method to let the HID bulb work for a specific amount of time. It is understandable to have a minimum run time for protection, but it is annoying because you cant keep the high beams on for a longer time (like a long flash to pass). -
Fog Light Lens
omar302 replied to Dave Moen's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
As far as I know, the fog lights (on 2007-2010 Edge & 2007-2015 MKX) have glass lenses. Restoration kits are for plastic lenses. If does work for you, please tell us. -
We still didn't receive the new Edge. We'll probably going to get it as a 2016, skipping 2015 all together. I have a 2011 MKX which I'm seriously considering to trade up (or down?) to the 2016 Edge Sport. Still waiting for it to be launched here & know the final prices. Usually they really mark them up considerably.

@Vadimus, Might have been a mid 2015 model change that was reflected as a new feature for 2016. Here are the specs for a March build Titanium with 301/302 package:
-
Another design point of view might be because the 2.0L is weaker, so at highway speeds the wind drag have higher effect than on the more powerful V6. Also, as far as I know, the transmission on the 2.0 has different ratios, so the slightly reduced drag at highway speed has a bigger impact on the 2.0 (with its tranny ratios) than on the 3.5/2.7L with their transmission ratios.
-
As per the 2016 Order Guide, the side front row is a new addition for 2016 on Titanium & Sport. The Acoustic Windshield is now also standard on the SE for 2016 (meaning for 2016 all models get it as standard).

Hyunda vs. Ford. vs. Subaru vs....
omar302 replied to mjonis's topic in Competing Crossovers & Vehicles
@mjonis, just some notes: The Edge can be equipped with remote start via smartphone. Sync3 is not confirmed to get Android Auto and/or Apple CarPlay. It is being said that it will, but unless you find a clear statement from Ford that Sync3 will include them or that it will be updated to include them, don't count on it. If you are considering the V6 Murano, did you consider the V6 SantaFe & Edge? Did you check the Kia Sonata? It is based on the same SantaFe platform (AFAIK). -
The 2011+ Edge/MKX (most if not all Fords probably the same) have battery savers that would turn off your headlights and/or interior lights if forgotten on after about 10 minutes, except for the parking lights and hazard warning flasher. So your battery should not completely die if you leave the headlights on.

Even with 2007-2014, roof rack was never available on Vista roof equipped Edge/MKX. Some members easily installed them on their vista equipped Edge, but Ford has a reason not offer it. I recall one member here stated that some rock hit his vista roof & broke it and that the rack was what caused the rock to deflect towards the roof.

2015 FORD EDGE SPORT FINALLY BEING BUILT
omar302 replied to baseball's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
For 2016, the Edge Sport is AWD only, so your Sport is gonna be a rare vehicle. Would be nice to know how does an AWD compare to a FWD in 0-60 & 1/4 mile. -
Just to make it clear, after pressing the button did you drive ahead until you found a spot but the car did not recognize it? I don't have a 2015, but as far as I know, you first press the button then move forward to find a spot. If you already found a spot (the front bumper already passed the rear car), the system would start scanning for an another spot. Also, remember that one press is for parallel parking & 2 presses for perpendicular reverse parking.

If you check the Canadian order guide, the roof rails are not available with 301/302, even though BAMR is not included with 301/302 (unlike US specs).
-
KnickerBocker, the order guide you attached does indeed state that you can't get the roof rails with 301 or 302 packages even though the pano is not part of those packages. I believe it's an error when making the Canadian guide, they missed that the pano roof is NOT part of the 301/302 packages like in the US configuration.

Heated and Cooled Seats
omar302 replied to Wedgeamatic's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Here is Oct. 9 TSB 15-0154 for the F-150. Seems to replace the seatback blower motor with a new one that has an inlet snorkel that is then guided to below the seat. Seems like this is how it should have been as the older design (similar to my MKX) takes air in from the same void in the seat back where the hot (warmer) air is exhausted out from the blower. -
Remember that both Engines (2.0 & 3.5) can run on regular, both of them also get better performance with premium. The difference is that the stated rated output for the 2.0 (and 2.7) is listed using premium while for the 3.5 is listed using regular. So it would be a fairer comparison to calculate the difference using the same fuel grade.

I believe it is BT4Z-7861711-C. Check here, reference number #1.

Check here (#13?), you can also search by the part number on eBay to see if you find better deals.
