  1. yeah, not really intuitive to "save" the wallpaper after you select it from the list of already "saved ones" Works!
  2. I used the same drive to play my music from (MP3s are fine). I'll double check the resolution then...
  3. Do you know if Edge is offered somewhere in the world in left-hand traffic version? That one will definitely have the passenger side convex mirror with a specific part number that can be ordered from any Ford catalog... But where from? India? Australia? South Africa?
  4. APIM? hmm... It just does not start with the vehicle (the screen remains black). Stop/Start brings it back - I am running keyless, so I actually need to perform full stop in order to shutdown the ignition. And it happens once a week... rarely enough so I cannot show it at service, but I will mention it during the upcoming servicing appointment.
  5. How often does it happen to you that you take off and just when you enter the HWY, you realize the screen in the console is off... ? Is there any way to turn it back ON while driving if this happens? The only way I know is to pull over and stop/start the car, which is not always possible if you have just jumped on a highway... And of course it is impossible to repro at dealer... Any ideas how to deal with it?
  6. ... is there any particular requirement to make the wallpaper work? I resized them to 800x378, went into settings, pointed to the file on a USB, then clicked OK and ... nothing happened. No error message nor confirmation... what am I doing wrong?
  7. ...dunno if it helps, but 2013 rings with default tone, no matter what phone I pair it with (either WP8 running on Lumia 925 or IOS on my wife's IPhone 5)
  8. ... it is 183kmph (115mph?) as per indication of the cruise control :P above that the throttle pedal just does not respond anymore...
  9. +1 from my side here - lights in 2013 sport are BAD. I am looking for a set of HIDs but I am concern about the warranty and amount of modifications you need to make to fit 9006 bulbs into 9012 HIR projectors... is it that scary?
  10. ...then I'll better stay with l/100km
  11. I am probably going to be the only one making fuel consumption stats in a country, where 1 liter costs $ 0.16, but I do it anyways 3.7 AWD: 12/16/2013 4 169 12.72 -> 22 MPG 12/15/2013 3 687 15.61 -> 18 MPG 12/12/2013 3 324 12.56 -> 22 MPG 12/11/2013 2 841 11.9 -> 24 MPG 12/9/2013 2 337 12.5 -> 23 MPG 12/8/2013 1 873 13.12 -> 22 MPG 12/7/2013 1 530 15.99 -> 18 MPG 11/26/2013 1 161 13.27 -> 21 MPG 11/23/2013 709 13.7 -> 21 MPG values provided in km and l/100km -> translated into MPG. I usually cruise at 75 mph, but for every tank I spend at least 1 hour idling at the border crossing, so I believe those numbers could be even better. Now the funny part - my stat app is saying that I have made so far 4168 km (2589 miles) and burned 115 USD worth of fuel (634 liters = 167 gallons). Welcome to Saudi Arabia...
  12. heated steering wheel?! :D mine does not come with buttons... but it is Sport, not Limited: I will report it during first service and see what they come up with... Both - FM radio and heated seats are listed on my delivery papers as working, so I guess they need to fix it
  13. LOL... all radiostations around here have RDS... English (no Arabic RDS seen so far ). Thanks for the heads up, Omar! My GCC spec comes with heated seats that dont heat - I wonder if this is also disabled on purpose...
  14. Guys, is there anything specific to be configured to be able to turn the RDS feature on? I click RDS "ON" button in radio options, it thinks for 10 seconds, and it goes off again...
  15. ...do you know if there is anything available on the market better than the OEM philips HIR2 bulb? (or is the HID kit the way to go?)
  16. guys, one silly question - is there an OEM Xenon light setup available? I see that HID conversion is quite popular on this forum (and I cant say I dont know why - lights in EDGE are poor, especially when it's raining) - I was wondering why doesnt Ford sell these as standard in Limited or Sport version?
  17. ...I only saw my navi working once - in the showroom. Once I left, the screen went bank and I am awaiting new unit ever since (it's been 3 weeks already).
  18. ...to me the concept looks like range rover evoque... I love it!
  19. ...I dunno why it does not show - 2013 sport has blis, but I need "normal" mirrors - Im from Europe - we don't have "flat" mirrors for safety reasons... and since I got my Edge, I understand it more than ever...
  20. Hi there, are there any non-ecoboost fans around here? Just got my brand new Edge Sport from Saudi Arabia... and it was one of the worst sales experience you can think of... how can you sell car that is not only dirty but has 25miles on the odometer - and yet they tell you it is a brand new one, because the foil wrap is intact. Folks in the Middle East still need to learn a lot in terms of customer relationship...
  21. Hi there, maybe a silly question, but is there a law forcing US manufacturers to put flat driver side mirrors? I was surprised how little you can see in the driver side mirror... I thought one might get used to it, but the blind spot is just ridiculously large... Does ford offer a replacement convex glass for Edge?
