    2007-2010 had variable timing on the intake camshafts only (fixed exhaust camshaft), 2011+ added Twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) which means that the timing of both intake & exhaust camshafts can be varied, independently .

    Attached is the latest Technical Service Bulletin. It involves a special tool to clean the door latch with it removed from the door. Best to keep your receipts in case in the future you might get refunded if it becomes a recall or gets an extended warranty.

    Brakes is probably a failing booster. Your car should have an extended warranty on it. For the remote start, try disconnecting the butterfly ~10 minutes and see it resets it. Also make sure the feature is enabled in the settings of the left cluster screen.

    OP has factory equipped HID lights. So it's not the same setup as yours. Edit: Just noticed in your photos, you shouldn't touch the glass part of halogen bulbs as the oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.

    It would be easier to try to tune it like a 2016 MKX as it should be using the exact same engine/drivetrain but tuned to 335HP & 380lbs-ft.

    @Prinzll, reading here, it seems that E10 mean "up to 10% Ethanol, so depending on the fuel/brand your using, Ethanol percentage might be anywhere from 0-10% & hence will definitely affect mileage.

    Further to my post, I just read on the 2016 MKX's "build & price", and it is available with the "Drivers Assistance Package" that includes: • Adaptive Cruise Control • Lane-Keeping System, which includes: • Lane-Keeping Alert • Lane-Keeping Aid • Driver Alert System • Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, which includes: • Collision Warning • Brake Support • Active Braking Also searching for inventory, there is already one for sale that has this package. So it seems that it'll start showing up on the Edge. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/643373381/overview/

    The site I purchased mine from was reffedt o me by a person from a Explorer/Mustang who never complained about. Still, I shouldget an XP laptop soon to start using it.

    This is only my guess,since Ford now has Adaptive cruise with emergency braking actual braking, not only one-charging) on the Euro Mondeo (Fusion), they might be waiting to bring it directly to the Edge instead of the older system.

    I am like you, except I already purchased one from here . I still cannot get it to work, on Win8.1 it didn't seem to connect to the car & on Win10 the IDS software keeps telling me that I have multiple VCMs connected when only 1 is. It is probably because I need a laptop with 32bit WinXP (SP2 or 3, non-Home edition) as advised in the seller's website.

    How about checking the alignment first? Usually alignment shops point out worn suspension parts because they wont be able to correctly align the suspension.

    Octane rating method is different, US uses AKI while GCC countries use RON methods for indicated fuel octane ratings. GCC 97/98 octane is equivalent to ~92/93 in US GCC 95 octane is equivalent to ~90 in US GCC 90/91 octane is equivalent to ~87 in US It is very common here for people to misunderstand the different octane ratings & they would thing that 90 is much better than the manufacturer recommended minimum of 87 while they are really the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    As far as I know, the bolt pattern is different in the 2015, so Explorer wheels do not fit.

    1- Driving habits & traffic. We have a lot of stop & go. For example, for a 3 mile trip, you can easily go from 0-60mph 3-4 times because of the many signals and/or roundabouts. 2- Heat. Which also causes a lot of engine idling for A/C to keep interiors cool when waiting even for long periods. 3- This is only my guess, since we do live in the 3rd world, I don't expect the fuel energy content is up to standards as there is no body to check or ensure fuel grades are ok.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I actually searched before posting and did not fine it but found this early review: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17552-car-and-driver-review-out-on-2015-edge/ Perhaps a mod can delete this post or merge it with the other one as it was posted earlier.

    You should also state if you have a FWD or AWD Edge. Also remember that octane rating method is different, UAE/GCC 95 octane is equivalent to 90 in US while 98 in UAE is equivalent to 93. US uses AKI method while GCC countries use RON. Furthermore, I have always noted fuel economy here (GCC) is always much worse than what people get in US. I get between 15.5 & 18 MPG (US gallons by the way = 3.785 liters) with my 2011 3.7L AWD MKX. In Doha we have extreme stop & go driving.

    13171 is version 3.6.2 which is the latest version of MyFord Touch for models up to 2013 (if I remember correctly). 2014 & newer have version 3.7.

    Actually it is not that hard! They can connect the License to the SD Card which, as far as it is known till now, is not possible to copy or duplicate!!!
  23. omar302
    When MFT debuted back in 2010 for the 2011 model, there was a lot of talk that Navigation would be an add on option by simply buying & inserting an SD card. Many customers, including those who post in this forum, were told by Ford Dealers that Navigation could be added later on only to be disappointed. Even if Ford did not state it, as it might have been speculation by some reviewers and/or salespeople that was spread on the internet, Ford did NOT make it clear at the time. To know now that adding Nav is a simple software issue (which Ford denied many times ago through their reps in Forums) is just a continuation of Ford's mess-up with MFT.

    Drpepper, if your dealer couldn't fix it with the TSB provided above, I believe you'd need to look for a different dealer!
  25. omar302
    I have no idea of another version, but I just realized that since you have a 2015, shouldn't your version be 3.7?
