  1. Now I get it, so the signal is free and I only pay for the hardware which in my case are included in the price I paid for my truck I know about the satellite radio which i decline to renew my subscription because I have no use for any radio while I'm driving, prefer to listen music thru my USB Nothing wrong with Sirus radio but I hate subscribing to anything I consider not essential
  2. I Google it and found that other people pay for the GPS service but not me when I use it in my track I just wonder why
  3. They look pretty good man
  4. Hey guys, just curious how the heck the Navigation system works. I mean is connected to a satellite every time I drive the truck or what? Seems that she knows where I'm at all times because the screen shows all streets I'm approaching If its connected to a satellite, these things aren't for free and who pays for the connection? Guess I'm missing something?

    Downshifting

    Thanks Matt for the reply No she doesn't bang into gear and actually I think the problem has improve a lot. Anyway my 1st six months service comes up soon and I will mention it to the dealer
  6. Its only my guess but I think dealers do not want to take a chance and take extra options after they have submit an order to the factory in case the extras do not go thru. I got my VIN 2 days after I place the order so I think the orders are processed pretty fast regardless the delivery of the vehicle which takes much longer. Ordering a new vehicle is pretty much an automated process and once it registers difficult to change.
  7. Here is a problem with my radio which is kind of annoying (don’t know if of any help but I always listen to music from my USB). Every time I back up into my garage I always turn off the radio. The next time I start up the truck some times the radio will turn on by itself and at higher volume then I normally listen to. I thought if I turn off the radio before I turn off the ignition, the next time I start the truck the radio will also be off. Can't find anything on the manual regarding this subject neither on the MyFord commands Any ideas?

    Downshifting

    I don’t know if this is an adjustments problem or if its normal on all Edge with auto tranny but when I approach a red light and I cost towards the light lets say at about 10km/hr if the light changes to green and I step on the gas the transmission either hesitates because it upshift or it downshifts and I get a jerk on the truck before it smooth out. It doesn’t happen all the times but I guess it depends on what speed I go before I step on the gas I only have about 1500km on my truck and perhaps its normal but I'm used to my 2001.5 Passat which changing gears was never noticed regardless the speed
  9. Thanks bce but mine is stuck and I would rather let the dealer do it. My old Passat had a similar cover and it was a piece of cake to remove
  10. No way I can move mine, and its a very thin plastic feels like its going to break when I force it. Will wait next time I go to the deler and get him to do it. Thanks akirby
  11. Anyone knows how to remove the 2.0L EcoBoost engine cover which sits on top of the engine? I don’t see any screws holding it down so it must clip in place but perhaps mine is stuck and doesn’t want to move.

    Rain Water

    Thanks mtbalser, I will see if I can find them locally

    Rain Water

    Very annoying indeed, I will check the set of vent visors to see how they look / fit
  14. I got my VIN 2 days after I placed my order and received the vehicle in 5 weeks (dealer told me 4-6 weeks). I'm about 500km away from the factory Perhaps I'm wrong but looks like that it takes longer to deliver the trucks to US than in Canada. Since they are manufactured in Canada, I asume they are shipping by train and that takes long

    Rain Water

    Today was the 1st time I drove my Edge under rain and when I tried to crack my window open a bit I noticed tons of water coming inside from the top of the roof and from the wipers when the swipe to the left; there is a heater outlet next to the window at the doors front top and some water went inside there and the rest spilled inside and over the mirror control Very surprised and looks like a faulty design? Remember older cars had a lip around the roof to divert water away from windows. Anyone has a similar problem? Anything in aftermarket to correct this problem?
  16. I use regular and every third fillup I use premium. But I think I will switch to regular cause never noticed any difference with the premium.
  17. Excellent review and similar to what I think about my Edge
  18. looks like a great ride, amazing colour, congrats
  19. Hey 1edge, thanks for the info. I was wondering why the Husky part fits your Edge and not mine but you are right, I do have the factory body side lower cladding. I have the Kodiak Brown and have the same problem, back gets dirty fast. Hope someone will make some proper molded mud guards
  20. Thanks Edge Man for the feedback, sounds good
  21. Just changed my 17" winter tires to the 18" original 4 season tires which my Edge came with. I found the process pretty easy and the jack / wrench were also pretty good. In the last 20 years or so I always had VW Passats and always used to switch the tires myself with no problem. Now with the Edge I wonder if there are any tips / guidelines to follow. I apply some lubricant on the studs after I clean them and follow proper rotation. But my main question is how about the torque on the wheel nuts? Since these wheels are chrome cladded, is there a chance to crack the cladding if you over torque the nuts?
  22. Thank you Haz but my Husky front mud guards did not fit at all on my Edge, the contour did not fit around the body at all The picture you point looks pretty good and I went to the site of autoanything.com but they dont give the Husky part number. I will have to check with the guy I bought mine to see if he can find the right part
  23. I had mud guards in all my previous cars and I feel like something is missing on my Edge without front mud guards. Even the rear ones I have I feel they are half mud guards because they aren't long enough. But we all have our likes and dislikes. I agree with JOEHIO, Ford should have put molded mud guards in the front
  24. So you dont waste your time / money like I did, Husky list Edge front mud guards part #58411 suitable for all 2013 models for $35.95 But after I order them, they dont fit AT ALL on my Edge and the sales guy was also surprised.
