@Haz, There is difference in function. The manual mode part, shifting with the buttons/paddles when the shifter is in "M" (2011/12) or "S" (2013/14) is similar for both. BUT, the "Sport" mode in 2013/14 adds 2 new features: When first shifting to "S" (before pressing any shift button or paddle) the transmission enters "Sport" mode which changes the shifting patters, i.e. delayed upshifts and earlier downshifts, hence its called a Sport mode. When a button/paddle is pressed, the transmission then goes to manual shifting mode similar to the 2011/12, shifting would be controlled by the buttons/paddles. 2011/12 will immediately enter manual mode once the shifter is put in "M". When the shifter is still in "D", with a 2013/14, pressing the shift button WILL make an upshift/downshift, temporary manual mode, after a certain period of time, the transmission reverts back to fully automatic mode. Pressing the buttons in a 2011/12 while in "D" has no effect.

The "Sport" mode should also add the ability for "temporary" upshifting/downshifting while still in the "D" position. Anyone have an idea if "Sport" mode can be added to 2011/2012 models?

Like what @Haz mentioned, the Battery Saver will NOT turn off the Parking lights if they were left on. I inadvertently left mine on one day & they stayed on for more than an hour before I realized they are still on (I recall older Fords did turn them off). Apparently its the same for the 2011+ Explorer, but I did notice that it was mentioned in the Owners Manual for the 2012 Explorer, but removed from the 2013!! On a personal note, it makes more sense for them to stay on. In a normal situation, you usually have the headlights on which, if forgotten on, will be turned off (complete with the parking lights). Also, intentionally keeping the parking lights on for safety, such as leaving the car on the side of the road, with the parking lights remaining on, is far more important than saving the battery from fully discharging (similar to the Hazard flashers).

Next time you fill up, reset the trip computer & check fuel used to compare it in the next refill. In my MKX, it typically takes between 17-19 gallons when it is empty.

In Settings>Vehicle>Remote start>Climate control, their should be several entries including "Driver seat" & "Passenger seat".

Auto setting will set the temp to 72℉ in cold or hot weather. There should be a setting for Heated seats in the left screen , if it's set to auto , it will heat the seats in cold weather only. There is no mention in the owners manual at what ambient temperature it will turn on.

Two way communication, with long range, remote start is available as a Ford OEM "Plug & Play" accessory. This one is specific to the Edge with "Push Button start". Also, for your information, the 2013+ Fusion (as an option) & standard on the 2013+ MKZ both have two way communication remote start from the factory. The remotes even have 2 batteries, apparently for the extra function. So it seems the feature will gradually come to most cars.

Then there is definitely something wrong. The vehicle does NOT turn off automatically if the key goes out of range. If you can repeat it, show it to your dealer.

Nope. It does not sound correct. But would you first clarify what "stock" remote start the car has? These are stock for a 2012 Edge: http://assets.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/assets/ACCS/images/oe_rem_start_keylg-20110926184145_500x370.jpg http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/27892917/aview/M3N5WY86095BTNWKEYSINGLE.jpg

Bad news! http://ces.cnet.com/8301-35289_1-57616498/ford-adding-app-integration-to-3.4-million-cars/ But it does mean that 2011-2014 Edge with the basic MyFord (non-touch) would get the Applink upgrade.

I remember some saying it was NOT there, while others have it. I guess your best bet is to look yourself to find out if there is a wire.

It will amaze you the amount of information available in the owners manual. All Ford vehicles I have seen have had the bulb replacement charts in their owners manual, the oldest for me anyway was a 1989 Grand Marques. But kudos for pointing out the puddle light bulbs, I just don't get why is it a sealed enclosure, while there is a 31mm festoon bulb inside it.

What speed? AWD or FWD?

@Idahoser, If you have heated mirrors, I believe this should fit: http://m.ebay.com/itm/230890215739?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

Read the Owners Manual? In the instrument Cluster, under Settings>Driver Assist>Traction Control select Off. But the default setting is "On". So every time you start the vehicle, it will be on.

Why would you get return wire shadows with 9012 bulbs? There is no return wire. It's a filament bulb that is exactly like the 9005/9006 except for a coating inside the bulb that helps it burn hotter. Make sure you have the bulbs seated correctly.

2011-2014 MKX all have the 3.7 litre engine. I think the main year to year change was the addition of paddle shifters and sport mode in the transmission in the 2013 MKX.

You can go for an MKX, it has the 3.7 Liter engine & can be had with all the options available on the Edge Limited and some more.

Just go with Ford's recommended Motorcraft oil. The 2011+ have the intelligent oil life monitor and as per the manual, depending on the driving conditions, you could get up to 10,000 miles per change (or a year, whichever comes first).It might not be a year for you, but it's close.

The Limted is the more luxurious version, it has more features not available on the sport, such HID lights. It also seems that the 2014 Sport doesn't have the Adaptive cruise control as an option anymore. But the Sport does have the larger engine, 3.7 vs 3.5 litres. It's not so much more powerful, but is an upgrade. If you interested in the sport for the looks, you can get the wheels, grille & side skirts, which will give 90% of the sport's looks.

Congratulations. To answer your questions, the front side markers & rear high mount brake light are both LED.

Yes. Non HID Edge/MKX, 2011+, also use a single bulb and projector.

For the Edge/MKX, it's one fuse fuse for each low beam (2 fuses together) and one for both high beams together. Actually, for the projector system in the Edge, the high beam fuse is probably only for the solenoids that move the shield. The light bulb itself & it's illumination is the same for low & high beams.

Its been like that for the last 10-15 years, I remember it on a 1999 Mercury Sable my parents had. In the old days, it used to be a circuit breaker that protected the headlights. Then they switched to fuses, one for each side, apparently so that you don't lose both your headlights at the same time.

Sorry, I meant buttons on the screen, just like the photo you posted.
