Official Release of V3.0 for SYNC3 Has Begun
omar302 replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
This would be useful in case of screen blackout, from the 2016 Edge Owners manual for Sync 3: -
On the center console.

I have seen this in some forum sometime ago but couldn't find it. So after searching I was able to finally find it, it is a way to restart/reboot the MyFord Touch Screen (Sync 2). It is mentioned in the Owners Manual for the 2016 Explorer (I remeber it did NOT work on the 2011 MKX, but it does work on the 2016 Edge with MFT, yes, Sync 2): It is also mentioned in the 2016 Edge Owners manual for Sync 3:

mirror blind spot problemns
omar302 replied to Tc4arch's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
I have heard of the opposite, people wanting to install a mirror with the convex spot mirror. If you really don't want them, I think you might have 2 options: 1) Install the OEM mirror glass for one with BLIS system as it does not have the convex portion, but it does have a small dot that illuminates in vehicles with BLIS from the factory, but the dot will not of course work in your Edge. 2) Install aftermarket glass for BLIS that would be glued on the stock mirror glass plastic back. -
4.5" is probably for the box's size.

Comprehensive List of Possible Forscan Mods?
omar302 replied to ben senise's topic in Accessories & Modifications
1 more question, anyone tried this if it works on the Edge? I got it from the 2015 F150 sheet and was discussed in the Fusion forum, but no report if it works or not. -

Did this work for you? -
Comprehensive List of Possible Forscan Mods?
omar302 replied to ben senise's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Did it work for you? The IPC will not show the setting for me. It does show Auto Fold in case I changed the value to F. But Mirror Tilt doesn't show in any case. Also, after making the DDM & PDM changes, the Tilt works, but after a while (maybe an ignition cycle) the mirrors wouldn't tilt, checking the values for PDM/DDM shows that the set values are still correct. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

Can you try it with Traction Control turned off? -

Mikula, you might want to research the SHO AWD system. I remember a similar issue being reported & it varied between being normal to a failure in the rear drive/clutch pack. Note the the PTU sends power to the rear all the time (like a differential), but there is a clutch pack that determines how much to send. -

Because, here, if an AWD vehicle cannot go on sand it would NOT sell! -
2016 Ford Edge Sport AWD Powertrain Limitations
omar302 replied to snmjim's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
This is what Ford has to say about the PTU oil for Middle East (GCC) spec AWD Edge/MKX & even 2.0L Escapes: -
Congratulations on your new ride. Hope you enjoy it to the fullest.

Missing Health Report Feature
omar302 replied to lorenzog0917's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
You could try to update the MFT again and see if it gets it back, otherwise a dealer visit might be required or get into ForScan & As Built Data to figure it out. But as far as I know, that feature is really of no real benefit. It is not like its going to report problems the Check Engine light doesn't show. -
Thanks. I am fine. THANKS. The accident was simple, just a small shock from the hit, I was alone in the MKX at the time. It is because the rear fender is not easily replaceable I opted not ti get it fixed (OCD).

Well, after nearly 6 years of use & ~77k miles, I have sold my 2011 Kona Blue MKX. My car was hit in February & I decided to take the compensation & sell it off. it was not a bad deal. So Good by to my MKX. And.. I got a good deal on a 2016 Edge Sport, new unsold stock. It has every thing, including the 21" wheels & vista roof which I would have rather not had, but that is the only configuration we got. Still getting used to it. It is also in Kona Blue, like my MKX. Among the first things I found, being a Middle East spec with a supplement to the Owners Manual (yes I do read the Manual), is this: Makes me think I would have been able to blame Ford for the broken Vista clips on the MKX as they now realize that the Vista roof requires periodical maintenance (cleaning) which was not specified before nor done when carrying out the maintenance as per their recommendations at their dealer!!. Some photos of the MKX's accident:

With the 2011 MKX, I tried several makes and also with/without charcoal, in all cases the airflow was affected except with K&N's. This is tested using my sense of feeling & sound of blower/airflow. In other words, nothing scientific. But good catch WWWPerfA_ZN0W noticing the difference in pleats.

Comprehensive List of Possible Forscan Mods?
omar302 replied to ben senise's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Do the rear windows open/close with the Global open/close? I see them as Enabled in your sheet. Nice work documenting every MOD like this. -
I agree it is not good. But I think it is from the Maps provider(s) not Ford. And it probably is their last chance to get some money due to Google & Apple providing free Maps with Android Auto & Apple Car Play.

LED recommendations
omar302 replied to Mattyice's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
For the front & rear turn signals, you need to do some edits using ForScan to be able to use LED bulbs without resistors. All other bulbs work fine with LED. -
If it is the ignition button that is not working, after idling for 45 minutes without any action (door open/close or driving) the engine should shut off.
-
You will still not have a true dual exhaust, why would you go the more expensive way? I'd just repair it.

You can see the location of the Radar for the Adaptive Cruise Control in the owners manual "Blocked Sensor". It is at the bottom as roots57 stated, net to the signature lighting.
