  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Once they come out the first time, they will always pop out again, quickly. Last time, under warranty, my dealer just replaced them. Started happening again now, will see what the dealer will do this time.
  9. 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.
  10. I believe it is BT4Z-7861711-C. Check here, reference number #1.
  11. Check here (#13?), you can also search by the part number on eBay to see if you find better deals.
  12. Since it is a 2011, maybe the batteries in both fobs need replacements? If it does this again, try to put the fob in the slot inside the center console compartment, this slot is meant to allow the vehicle to detect the fob even if its battery is dead. Also, that message "Shutting down to save battery...etc", if your sure you did not leave the accessory mode on when you left your car, would probably mean the needs a new battery. If it has never been replaced before, it might also be near the end of its life.
  13. Hi Jason, do you know if the RDS that displays radio text can also be enabled and/or disabled? For the Middle East, our cars have the radios programmed to get all frequencies (for example 103.4 FM), but for some reason RDS does not work. We have the option to turn it on (on the MFT screen), but it does not turn on, remains off.
  14. EBay. Just make sure the remote is compatible with your Edges year & that it looks like your old key/fob. Matching the fcc number is an added safety check.
  15. From the looks of it, you will only get the bezel/housing with the led surround, there will be a hole for the fog light which you'll need to get the fog lights for.
  16. The 2016 MKX, built on the same chassis as the Edge can be equipped with the tow package (3,500 lbs) with the same Sport 2.7L engine.
  17. Ok, got my 1st system restart (or reboot or whatever Ford calls it claiming that it doesn't happen) after approximately ~19 hours. I mean the restart that happens while car is off and previously in V3.6.2 caused ambient lights to reset to default. Glad to report that ambient lights do NOT reset in V3.8 (as was also the case with V3.7), but now also the phone ringer & text notification did NOT reset. So good news here, thanks Ford IVT team for fixing it. On the other hand, the display brightness setting did reset. To explain this a little more, I have set it to auto (to flip between day/night) which is the default setting, but also set the auto brightness offset setting to the minimum (far left). So at night I get dimmer screen. What happens is when the restart thing happens, the auto bright offset resets to default & I get a brighter screen which is noticeable at night. Note that the slider for the setting does not change (remains at far left), but switching to night display will cause the auto brightness offset setting to kick in & then going back to auto setting it will stick & scree will be dimmer, until the next system restart.
  18. From the 2011 Edge Owners Manual: You need 2 key to program a 3rd or 4th key yourself (without any special equipment). Without having 2 keys, your dealer or a good locksmith can program new (or used) keys & they can even erase the old ones (if stolen or lost). I personally tried all methods. When I first got my car I had only 1 key (2 were programmed to the car). Bought a used one from eBay & a locksmith added it to my car (now had 3 2 keys but 3 were programmed to the car). Then bought another one off eBay, and since now I had 2 working keys, I programmed it my self (as per Manual instructions) then had the dealer delete the original key so only the ones I had worked. I believe when the dealer wants to delete a key, they would actually delete all keys & then reprogram the available keys, hence the note in the manual to bring all transmitters. Also, note that the all the programming is done on the vehicle. The key is never programmed itself. So if you program a car to with a specific key, then program another car to use the same key, then both cars will start with the same key. If both cars are parked close to each other, the remote start would start both cars at the same time.
  19. Like what akirby said, the Edge doe not have Adaptive Headlights. The information regarding Instrument Cluster settings in the manual seem to be general & cover ALL Ford/Lincoln vehicles (including those outside US).
  20. The tester clearly wiggled his foot below the bumper.
  21. I'd guess you might have been very close to the back of your Edge that your foot was actually within the kick sensor range. If the feature is not suited for you, maybe it can disabled in left screen menu. Also note that the power tailgate has an Obstacle Detection mechanism for safety so rest assured that would not have a crushing force if it closes on something, and I don't think an infant can be left positioned in the path of the lift gate.
  22. For 2016 it is now available on the Sport & SEL as part of the cold weather package with rubber floor mats. Information from the 2016 order guide posted in the forum.
  23. Disconnect the car battery for a few minutes to force a restart.
  24. Make sure the USB is formatted to Fat32 (as far as I remember). Also, try first with a few songs before putting so many. For the manual, PDF copies are available online, including the manual for Sync. Finally, make sure you have latest updates for sync at http://www.syncmyride.com/
  25. Try doing a master reset for the MyFord Touch. If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to visit your dealer. Also, as @WWWPerfA_ZN0W stated above, make sure you are on the latest software version (now 3.8).
