May I ask how are the rear A/C vents, do they blow sufficient air? My MKX & previous '08 Taurus both have very weak airflow.
-
They are yellowish probably because they are not HID. All Edges come with Projector headlights, but they come standard with Halogen bulbs. You have to have the 401A Equipment Group to get factory HID on the Sport.

2015 EDGE and HIDS
omar302 replied to Teddis's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
I can't give a 100% answer, but going 55 to 65 watts shouldn't be a concern. I had the same mod to an '08 Taurus & I never faced any problems except for the shorter life span of the H9's (~1 year). -
Wiring for Paddle Shifters - Sport & non-Sport
omar302 replied to omar302's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
I didn't know how to tackle the issue, so I just stopped. Would like to get working if any ideas came on how to. -

H9 bulbs easily fit in place of H11s & they provide considerable more light & have higher temperature color. The 2 bulbs share identical filament position, only difference is in one of the fitting tabs. For the high beams, 9011 can replace 9005 again with much more light & higher color temperature. -

Unfortunately no! -
I think the 8 hour process is to reset the battery saver feature that is in the BCM. What's written in the owners manual is for the PCM (powertrain control module) relearning process.

They feel like 2700k lights because they are (or close to 2700k). SEL models don't have HID lights, just regular halogen headlights. -
For newer Ford's, 100% means 1 year or 10,000 mile oil change interval, so if you wanted to change the interval to 6 months or 5,000 miles you'd set the life to 50%.
-
I knew about it because the latest MFT update(s) stated something about turning off the feature during the update process. A very useful feature, in my opinion.
-
May I ask why was the driveshaft replaced? What was the problem & was fixed? Thanks.
-
Newer Ford's have an auto shut off feature, so that if you leave the car idling (e.x. forgot to turn it off) it would turn off after 45 minutes. I'd expect the new Edge to also have it.
-
@Magnetic Edge, What other cars have you tested gave close numbers? Or what other cars have you tested, just to get an idea of what those number represent. Thanks.

Congratulations on the new ride. Hope you enjoy every mile driving it. If I have a question, it would be the 0-60 & 1/4 mile as I have yet to find any review with that info. Is the power comparable to an explorer Sport or Taurus SHO? For the Sync issue, I usually rename my Sync on my phone to Sync MKX, and when I paired my phone to a friend's Explorer, I did not face any issues keeping both vehicles paired to my phone. So try renaming the paired Sync before pairing the other.

I remember the main difference was the addition of twin variable camshafts. The earlier 3.5 & 3.7L had a single variable intake camshaft while the new versions have variable intake & exhaust canshafts (dubbed "Ti-VCT" short for twin-independent variable cam timing). This means different heads and electronics that control them.

I am not sure if the same is available on the 2015's, but my '11 MKX has a plastic sleeve attached to a string meant for positioning the rear shoulder belts at a more comfortable position. The sleeve is inserted in a hidden pocket on the seat back behind the head rest. From the OM: Second row comfort guide The second row outboard lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a belt comfort guide. This guide is attached to the head restraint and is stored in a pocket in the seatback. It is used to adjust the comfort of the shoulder belt for smaller occupants in the outboard second row seats. To adjust the comfort guide: 1. Slip the shoulder belt into the belt guide. 2. Slide the guide up or down along the webbing so that the belt is centered on the occupants shoulder.

11' - 14' have the sensors on the front doors only. That's applicable to the Edge, MKX, Taurus, MKS, Flex, MKT, Explorer. Not sure what other models are the same. It seems Ford started switching to a new system with a newer fob (factory 2-way) on new the platforms with sensors in all 4 doors, like the MKZ, MKC & now the Edge (not sure of the Fusion, I know it has the fob, but didn't try the 4 doors).
-
@Cellbine, I will definitely try to start driving with the sway control off to test if I can feel any difference. Sway control is an option that comes with the towing package, so I'd think there would be a way to permanently disable it with a dealer.
-
The 11-14' Edge with intelligent access can only access from the front doors. The rear doors do not have the required sensor or lock button. Same goes for the MKX.
-
It always defaults to on when starting the vehicle. Your not supposed to feel a difference when your not towing.
-
Congrats on the new ride, hope you enjoy it. Can you confirm if those front accent lights work as DRLs during the day?
-
I would suggest to impair the phone, delete sync from your phone's Bluetooth devices then re-pair them. I am not sure about v1 of Sync, but if there is a master reset option in setting, do it.

Automatic Highbeams for 2014 Edge?

There is this, but I don't know if it works fully on the Edge: http://www.mobileye.com/products/mobileye-5-series/
