Like what Akirby stated, if you set the remote start has a climate setting, manual or auto. In auto, it does what you want regardless of what AC setting was at when you last turned off the car. The manual setting just leaves the AC to the last setting it was at when you last turned off the car. It is a really good system & you can specify 5, 10 or 15 minute durations which can be extended to another period. Short of a smartphone remote start system, Ford's system are amongst the best.

You can also ask to test drive another 2016 Edge (with the same wheel size) to confirm that your Edge really has an issue.

2013 Ford SYNC 3.8 and Google Nougat Capabilities
omar302 replied to tloewenberg's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I have an HTC 10 updated to Android Nougat and can confirm that messaging works fine on MFT V3.8 on my car & on an earlier build maybe V3.6 on a rental. If I am not mistaken, it is a Google thing as the Bluetooth profile responsible for messaging (MAP?) is not an Android thing, rather manufacturers like HTC & Samsung add it. Try the 24 hour support feature of the Pixel if they can help. Make sure to tell them otherwise Android nougat phones work fine so they don't blame MFT instead of finding a solution. -
I don't recall this issue ever come up. I also believe that the CX9 has a different transmission (Aisen) not manufactured by Ford.

My Ford Touch New Software Release
omar302 replied to tjbron's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Yes, for some reason Ford moved to Dealer installation of the updates without officially announcing it, so SyncMyRide will show whatever you have as up to date. There is a V3.8 from more than a year ago. You will either need to visit your dealer for the update or search for a download link & do it your self. Here is a link I found for NA: http://ivsu.binaries.ford.com/swparts/Gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2.zip -
I believe this answers your question: I would suggest searching for a set of stock 17" Edge wheels, they should be cheap.

Climate control & Heated seats

Climate control & Heated seats
omar302 replied to davidceder's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
Yes, the seat heaters (and coolers, if equipped) do come on when remote starting the vehicle based on the ambient temperature. -
You can see this listing how a new one looks like. As you guessed, there is a metal clip on both sides. Since your Edge it is a 2011 I assume its Kona Blue, part number for the Kona Blue is BA1Z14A626AE

If you think it is the brake sensor, check if the brake lights are coming on when you lightly press on the brakes. It is the same sensor/signal for the brake lights & the shift interlock. The sensor is only an on/off switch, it shouldn't matter how hard you press on the brakes.

@LynchJM I'd suggest first changing the battery before worrying about the other stuff. Modern cars have a lot of electronics & a weak or dead battery will many things to act up. After changing the battery most probably everything will return back to normal. Also, the "reset issues" are not a concern, at least on the Edge. So don't start worrying now.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

Yes. That is the stock size for the 2011-2015 MKX. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
It was the 2nd replacement since car rolled off the factory. In our area batteries usually have a life span of 1-3 years only due to our extreme summer temps & high humidity. The crack seems to be from the case deforming, probably heat related rather than mechanical torqueing. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Lately noticed an unusual build up of acid on the positive battery terminal so decided to clean it, but it only re-appeared just as bad a couple of weeks later so decided to remove the terminal & do a thorough cleaning only to find out the batter case was cracked right under the terminal connector & the terminal connector badly corroded. A battery case cracking like this is something new to me. The battery was 14 months old only & the car still started fine. So got a new battery, under warranty, and installed a new terminal connector, thankfully for the Edge/MKX it comes separately without the cable & cheap (~$12/-). -
2016 Edge SEL dim headlights
omar302 replied to rickb145's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/bulb_types/bulb_types.html H11 runs 55 watts with 1250 lumens H9 runs 65 watts with 2100 lumens As stated above, there is noticeable difference in output, but H9 do have a shorter life span. -
Intermittent remote start
omar302 replied to oldtreker's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Radio presets & its settings don't reset, also destinations/routes saved in Navigation should not. Climate settings? what settings? you only have the last setting and it will reset to default set temp but you just change normally. Anything else? The left display settings in the instrument cluster will reset some settings like the "menu memory will revert to default with no memory, enhanced trip computer will revert to the simple setting and the vertical tach display will revert to not being shown. Also the miles to empty might change to be based on a set default mileage instead of your actual average for the past few hundred miles. The engine idle & transmission shift calibrations will also reset, but they adapt quickly after driving. Actually it is a good thing to do, disconnecting the battery every once in while to reset the car's electronics. Just like you PC or smartphone. -
For $500/- I would highly recommend skipping it. 1st of all, the price is too high considering it is a 2011 model, it would be better to sell your Edge & buy another with the options you need. Also, don't forget that once any part of the mechanism breaks down, the whole system will be down until you'd be able source the parts as they wont be readily available. Finally, even though it is a convenience, it is not really worth paying $500/- for it.

2010 Edge SYNC & Backup Camera
omar302 replied to cwagon8's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Just found this thread, though it is very old, but might still be helpful. -
Is the issue on both sides, driver & passenger? If yes, it's highly unlikely to be the actuator as it would mean that both (RH & LH) failed at the same time. Being a relatively newish car, it is probably an electronic thing. Try disconnecting the car's battery for 10-15 minutes to see if it resets itself.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
What effects did you feel after replacing the rear shocks? I am trying to determine if mine also need replacement @ 60K miles as on some highways a feel bumps which cannot be seen on the road. Its like the wheels are bouncing a lot, though it is not a balancing issue. -
For information, in the order guide there is an option for All-Season (A/S) Snow Chain Compatible Tires & the size listed is 235/60R18. Might want to consider that size.
