  1. Everyone was so caught up with whether or not they could, they forgot to take the time to think if they should
  2. I recently bought my car, and the 3rd party remote start seems to have an issue. When I try to start the car, the lights etc come on and the car enters ON-state (I believe), but won't start. There is a message saying there is a engine fault. I have read that there could be some need for reprogramming. Does anyone have experience with this issue, and how to resolve it?
  3. Without a picture, I would say that you probably won't be able to really fix scratches based on anything I've tried.
  4. My roommate has a 2014 Escape Ecoboost, so he likely has whatever is standard for that. He is able to see on the main screen artist and track titles for radio stations, and I am not. I will have to check for the RDS setting. Sorry for the delay in replying.
  5. I recently picked up a Stubby Antenna here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087BAJ5K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I have to say that garages and spots where I would lose Sirius connection no longer do.. possibly because the antenna is metal. I personally feel that in general my Edge's sound quality is subpar.. but my last car was a Mustang. I won't say that Sirius sounds any worse. It could be an issue with your antenna.. but if it was simply missing you'd probably be able to tell pretty quick. You could always try picking up one of those antenna's I got... its cheap and looks better imo, but a new antenna could fix the issue.
  6. I would say in all honesty using a cellphone with google maps is better than any in-car navigation
  7. Can anyone else confirm this? As much as I'd like to blindly trust... I'm having a hard time confirming. Also.. does anyone have experience with changing bulbs? Are these simply twist and change? Or will pieces have to be removed?
  8. I dont think those will fit.. I was seeing I need HIR2/9012.. any thoughts there?
  9. Are there any near white bright non-HID headlight replacements out there that are worth the money? Looking for a bit better projection than what I have now.
  10. What method did you use to apply this? I've never seen a good application and would like to do my full front grille
  11. I will say that I don't have my 64GB card full, I only have about 600 songs on it currently.
  12. I have scoured the web and can't find any type of listing for card format, music format, etc. so I wanted to make a post for what I have tested to work in my 2011 Ford Edge. If there are comments with other tested formats, then I will add them to the list. SD Cards: 64GB exFAT (Note: I have read that exFAT is required for anything over 32GB) Music: MP3 Formats Supported: MPEG-1 Audio Layer III - 320Kbps MPEG-1 Audio Layer III - 256Kbps MPEG-1 Audio Layer III - 224Kbps MPEG-1 Audio Layer III - 192Kbps .WMA Formats Supported: Ford Rep has said .WMA is supported .WAV Formats Supported: Ford Rep has said .WAV is supported .AAC Formats Supported: (Apple's default format) MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding File Lossless Formats Supported: WMA 9.2 Bit rate mode: variable average bit rate: 754Kbps maximum bit reate: 835Kbps sampling rate: 44.1Khz sampling rate: 16 bit Music not showing? Try moving your music off the card/USB and do a full (do not check "Quick") format. Check my steps in this post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15659-not-all-mp3s-play-nothing-seems-to-be-in-common/
  13. I haven't seen an issue with bitrates.. see my last post http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15659-not-all-mp3s-play-nothing-seems-to-be-in-common/ here for how I fixed the issue.,
  14. I have a 2011 Edge with the latest Sync software (downloaded from Ford and when I put my USB in the car said it was already on this version). I noticed my roomie's 2014 Ford Escape has song titles and artists display on his radio, and mine doesnt. Is it possible to update for these types of features?
  15. So.. there must have been an issue on the card. I had downloaded music straight from the artist page and new artists/albums would show, but ones that I replaced didn't. I copied all files to my hard drive and reformatted in exFAT. I loaded all the music back on and haven't seen it return as an issue. Files are varying bitrate but none about 320kbps, all mp3 format.
  16. Thank you Rebecca! Let me stir the pot and make it a bit more interesting... I tried re-downloading the main artist that wasn't showing up directly from his website. I double checked the mp3 tags to make sure they were solid with MP3tag, and then proceeded to download another artists's album. I did notice that my mp3 trimming program had The new artist showed up, but the other one didn't. I plan on reformatting the SD card and moving everything back onto it to see if maybe there is some remnants of broken coding. But other than that.. any thoughts? Also, for those who really know.. what are the formatting specifications that Sync/MyTouch allows? MP3 only? Any limit to bitrate? etc etc? My car was program and didn't come with a manual
  17. My rear middle seat back will move around a lot and rattle very infrequently depending on road quality.
  18. Hm... they were free releases that I got from a torrent so I can't imagine there's any DRM. I have mp3tag and updated the file information with that... are you saying I might just need to re download?
  19. I have a 64GB sd card in my Edge with about 400 songs on it, however only about 300 show. They are all various bitrate MP3s... no other format that I am aware of.. unless there is a sub formatting or the bitrate matters, I can't really find anything in common.. except for one whole artist I got from the same source doesn't work. I heard it might be an update issue... so I downloaded the latest version from Ford and when I plugged in the ?USB drive it registered and began the process only to stop and say it is already on the latest version. Any ideas?
  20. I did get a carfax... but those are worthless. It came back clean... but so did the one they ran on my mustang that had >5K in damage 3 times... so yeah. I did have my family friend's body shop look it over and they are confident there was no frame damage "without lifting it". The paint isn't in the best condition, a bit of orange peeling... but I am saving to a full machine polish from a detail shop to fix it all.
  21. I'll get them up soon! 36k.. I can tell others doors have been repainted.. I'm hoping they just need to realign the door panels.. otherwise the dealer and I will have some issues!
  22. I am about a month in to ownership of my Edge... and LOVE it so far. I do have to take it back to the dealership because the door panels rattle.. even with NPR on 1/5 volume. Otherwise it's been a dream. Black on black with a panoramic moonroof. Cloth seats (couldn't afford leather and a moonroof), and led interior light replacement and all emblems removed. I have used 303 Aerospace Protectant on all exterior and interior vinyl and its looking great, and have treated the seats and floormats with 303 Cloth Protectant for a highly water repellant action with no affect on the feeling of the seats. I even polished those massive tailpipes to a chrome shine Look forward to sharing future plans and reading about all you guys have done here!
