If you touch radio or any other function, it should switch off and on the other function. Camera is wired to power whenever the car is in run or start and is switched in the HU. If you want it to switch off as soon as you put it in drive, I believe you would have to rewire the camera power into the backup lamp circuit.

Item #4.

The modern starting system is very complicated and is involved with several related systems. Condition Possible Sources Action The engine does not crank Battery Fuse(s) Starter motor Circuitry PCM Starter motor relay Ignition switch Start diode Anti-theft system Principles of Operation The starting system is electronically controlled by the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). PATS is controlled by the Instrument Cluster (IC). PATS recognizes the correct electronically coded ignition key and the IC will send a message to the PCM to provide a ground for the starter relay. The energized relay provides voltage to the starter solenoid, thereby allowing the starter motor to activate. Normal Operation Under normal operation, constant power is supplied to the starter motor relay from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 41 (30A). When the ignition switch is turned in the START position and held, with the vehicle in PARK or NEUTRAL, power flows to the starter motor relay through CDC35 (BU/WH). A ground is supplied through circuit CDC12 (YE) from the PCM causing the starter motor relay coil to energize and the relay contacts close. This allows power to be supplied from the starter motor relay contacts which then flows through circuit CDC25 (BN/GN) to the starter solenoid. The solenoid is grounded at the starter motor. Energizing the starter solenoid will engage the starter drive into the ring gear and closes the solenoid contacts allowing power directly from the battery through circuit SDC02 (RD) to the starter motor to start the engine. Pinpoint testing has checking the battery first, then checking for any any DTC codes. If you get a P1260 code, its related the the antitheft system. All other codes are covered in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis manual. If no codes were recovered, troubleshooting then checks the PCM sensor (transmission range sensor to see if it's showing the transmission is in park and/or neutral). After that the starter then the power control. My guess is that it's possible that either the relay or diode is opening when hot. (Diodes are known to fail when hot).

All of the power outlets are hot at all times. Perhaps the battery just reached its full charge point.

Why would you want to put film on your headlights? That would drastically cut the amount of light for you to see with on the highway. As for the variable darkening film, it comes in two grades of darkening. Problem is, it never really gets light or dark enough. Don't know if this would work but seen a video on YouTube about using auto film that darkens with electricity. Flip a switch and instant dark.

Mine cuts off part of the airflow from the vent. Maybe the phone might block a control or switch. (?)

I have a 2009 mkx and would jump at the chance to get a remote start for that price. (Wouldn't waste $500 just to avoid turning a key, as I stated earlier).

Actually, it would no problem for the dealer to connect his scan tool to the vehicle's Vehicle Communication Module and read any DTC's stored from the last fault. I doubt you would find any $10 parts in the HVAC system.

The procedure is detailed in your Navigation Manual: 1. Press the PHONE hard button on the navigation system. 2. Select the ‘Settings’ tab on the touchscreen. 3. Press ‘Advanced’. 4. Select ‘Vehicle Health Report’. 5. Select ‘Automatic Reports’. 6. Enter the desired setting. Once you have turned on the automatic report feature, you can then choose at which mileage intervals you would like to be prompted to run a health report. 1. Press the PHONE hard button on the navigation system. 2. Select the ‘Settings’ tab on the touchscreen. 3. Press ‘Advanced’. 4. Select ‘Vehicle Health Report’. 5. Select ‘Mileage Interval’. 6. Select the desired mileage interval setting. When the chosen mileage is reached, SYNC will automatically prompt you and ask if you would like to run a health report. You can then accept and SYNC will send you an e-mail with the information or you can choose to have SYNC remind you later.

This happened to me last winter after I got a car wash. Lasted until I was able to get the car home and sit in the garage. After an hour it opened fine. Whatever caused it seems minor.

Just though I'd mention that service manual states to use rubbing alcohol to clean the groves (I use a Q-tip dipped in alcohol) and then lube the rails with silicone spray. (Never use grease or the like,) Small amounts of PTFE Lubricant or Silicone Spray Lubricant is permissible to use as a means to reduce friction and improve moving glass panel operation.

yup. Service manual states use rubbing alcohol to clean rails and silicone spray to lubricate.

Why not run a self-diagnostic test on the unit and see if you are throwing any DTC errors? On my 09 MKX it's entered by holding preset buttons 3 and 6 for 3 seconds until the speaker walk-around test begins. Before the speaker walk test is complete, press the "End Test" selection on teh touch screen. The screen will change to Bezel Diagnostics and you can choose which tests to run. (Assumes you have navigation). IF you don't have navigation, buttons 3 & 6 to enter mode, press button #1 after the speaker test begins and it will start the ACM test. If errors show up after the test, you can review them by pressing button #2. Button 3 is the AM/FM Antenna Signal Strength, button 4 displays software levels for various components of the audio system. Knowing the software levels probably will not aid in diagnostics. Press the TUNE UP button to scroll through the software levels. Button 5 is the Display Test, button 6 retrieves the ACM Part Number. Button 7 ejects the warp core and button 8 drops your oil pan on the garage floor. (last two are undocumented).

Is this what you're looking for? http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-Component-Andriod-Converter-MHL-enabled/dp/B00LPHJEEA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432827714&sr=8-3&keywords=andriod+video+cable+to+usb

Ever consider using aftermarket? Much (MUCH) cheaper and can be moved to a different car when you sell. Check out this one for example http://www.amazon.com/XTRONS%C2%AE-Screen-Headrest-Player-Monitor/dp/B00J5CEJTM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1432826371&sr=8-12&keywords=headrest+dvd Amazon has dozens to choose from, most come with three different color covers and the posts are adjustable in width and have bushings to adapt to different size holes. (Each plays independently, no connection to head unit, but they can be connected to both play same movie or game if wanted). Believe wireless headphones, controllers are available as well.

Perhaps something like this harness would work. http://www.amazon.com/PerformancePackage-Mirror-Power-Detectors-Inline/dp/B00RA38Y8U/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432659210&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=radar+detector+mirror+power+supply

Here's what I bought. It's terminated especially for an Escort, but something simular will work if you have the correct power jack. I secured the connector with two miniature pull ties as the wires just push into the socket next to the existing wiring. You could take an existing power cord, strip and tin the wires (to make them stiff enough to push into the mirror socket.) I did this because I got tired of turning off the Escort whenever I shut off my car. Afraid I would forget and drain the battery (even though the Passport Max will turn itself off after 1/2 hour of inactivity, that's a half hour I didn't need to drain the battery during winter months). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006074LT8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great price on the nav unit. Congrats. What did you mean when you stated that you "replaced the computer with two clip connectors "?

I'm having the hardest time seeing my instrument readout in my 09 MKX during daylight hours. Been that way since I bought it. Is this item supposed to be backlit when the headlights are off (I have my DRL's turned on, but that doesn't make any difference.)

I wired my Escort Passport Max 2 radar detector, l wired it into the back of my mirror using a premade harness. It only switches on when the ignition is in the run position. Positive is pin no. 1, negative is pin 10. Purchased from Amazon. No reason you couldn't rig up a harness and wire it to the mirror.

I clicked on the link above and Husky makes custom mud flaps for my 2009 MKX. Both front and rear. Should also fit your Edge I would imagine.

LOL. Of course that's just imho.
