A tip for those who like a 5000 mile oil change interval is to reset the oil life meter to 50%. This way you would get a reminder at around 5000 miles or 6 months, give or take a few.

Congrats. Hope you enjoy your new ride.

Great, glad it helped.

I remember reading that a dealer can change your DRL's to the turn signals instead of low beam, this would simplify your HID setup.

This seems to be the same issue in late 2013 builds of the Explorer, 2011-2012 and early 2013 did not have this, its supposed to be a reminder that the vehicle is left running without a key inside. As far as I know, there is no way to disabble it. You can try to check with your dealer if there is a way for them to disable it.

Is that while driving at 90 Km/h? Straight line? I mean not going an uphill? If so, then 13L/100 Km is high. You should get 10 or less. You say this is as displayed, have you ever calculated your economy manualy to check if the display is showing correct info?

Where we live, in the GCC counties, we have extreme city driving. It is pretty normal in a single commute to accelrate from 5 to 60 mph 10 to 15 times for a short 10 minute drive.

The indicator shown in OnTheFence's picture is part of the LCD screen, so it might be a new program/update of the cluster, not an actual hardware change. I guess you can try and politely ask your dealer to update the cluster software (wich is not part of the MFT/MLT).

I think it is because you have the system on Auto (for the air flow direction) so it might be that the system sometimes transfers the air flow to "Defrost" or "Defrost+Floor" & hence the recirculation turning off. Next time, try setting the air flow manualy to your preferred setting and test to see if recirculation turns off.

You mentioned that the new Key cranks the engine, but does the engine run? If the engine does run with the new key, try to follow these programming instructions for the remote part only:

I meant keep the engine running. While you are stopped waiting, do you keep the engine running for long periods of time? Try driving a long road, like 10km straight at 90km/h, what would your average mileage be?

That speed limit feature is part of the Ford MyKey system. It will not have any effect on the mileage. On the other hand, the slower you go on the highway, the better the mileage should be. Your mileage is bad, but, do u do a lot of traffic driving? Do u leave the runnin running while stationary? These will badly effect your milage.

That seat memory thing also happens in my MKX. The courtesy wipe, I first saw it in a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The faster you were driving, the earlier the wipe came until you would reach a speed were it would not come anymore. Speaking of wipers, another nice feature is the reverse wipe. If you your front wipers on, as soon as you reverse, the rear wipers makes a wipe (even when they are off). A feature that is also controlled via the left screen settings.

In case of none wooden steering wheels, that part is also heated.

Yes, master reseting will delete all your data. Its not a format cause you dont have to reinstall anything, but kind of like a restore to factory state.

You cannot reflash yourself. Only the dealer can. Did you check the settings? They might have been turned off. If not, perhaps try a master reset?

Thanks. So its normal.

I just noticed that the gear shift indicator on the center console does NOT indicate which position is selected. Is that normal? All positions are illuminated white, I thaught that the selected position would be orange. Is that normal?

Your car has a regular key, so the car should start even if the battery is dead! Also, since the door lock was opened using the FOB, the battery must have been ok. Did you try the same key again later?

The oil life indicator is like a calculator that takes milage, time & engine operating conditions into account to calculate oil life. The system does NOT actually measure the oil life by a sensor. For those who would like to go for a 5000 miles (or six months) intervals, simply adjust the Oil life to 50% after an oil change. As for the other services to be performed, what I understand, you have to do them with any oil change interval that comes within 3000 miles, but if you reach the milage specified for any service, but you do not have any oil change requirement within 3000 miles, then you should perform that service without waiting for an oil change.

Are you sure you dont have anything loose placed under the cargo floor, around the spare tire?

I have a HTC One X with Sense 4+, so I geuss it should be a simliar experience to the DNA. Everything works except Contact Photos & Sync always tells me that the phone does not support Text messaging even though messages I receive are received by Sync & are even read out loud by it.

I agree with Edgieguy, there is still now way to add factory NAV after the car leaves the factory. It is NOT a simple SD card issue as many people were led to believe when they purchased their MFT equipped vehicles.

You can read about it in this thread. The link was posted there.

I know its not for an Edge, but there was a person who installed OEM HIDs from a Taurus SHO to his non-HID Taurus Limited. The differences in the wiring harness might give you indiciation to what might also be different in the case of the Edge. http://community.webshots.com/album/576444195utMbwN
