How much WHP were you planning to add? What about the balance of the powertrain - motor top end, tranny, PTU? Just askin' as I was bouncing the idea of supercharging around. Thanks

That is a good idea. I'm not near the 100,000 mile club yet but it would also be nice to know what lurks ahead for my Edge.

Congrat's on the new wheels and welcome to the forums! Hope your AWD doesn't get a workout over the winter lol

So here's a question. I know I'm missing something but how does this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/20-90W-Single-Row-LED-Light-Bar-Flood-Spot-Off-Road-Jeep-Truck-4x4-ATV-Boat-/181759276280?hash=item2a51b274f8:g:4foAAOSwrklVCuvR&vxp=mtr compare with the OP's piece which will run me almost C$800 before I spend a penny on wiring or switches etc.

This is my next mod. Everything I've seen in this thread looks really tight! How is everyone wiring them in? My challenge is going to be to find a unit that will fit the grill and not bend me over too badly shipping it to me here in Canada because the 30% exchange premium kills me already LOL .....

Welcome to the Edge and to the forum! I've had my Edge and been on this forum since May this year and I'm very much enjoying both

Welcome! Glad to hear you're enjoying the new Edge

Well...... this took longer than one day for me but I finished today lol. I wasn't happy with my rear end ... err ...my Edge's rear end to be more specific. Over the last few weeks here are the changes I made: 1. Put a new "Ford" emblem on the rear 2, Swapped out the tails for LED tails 3. Replaced the stock tips with a set of flat black powder coated tips 4. Sanded and repainted the aftermarket trailer hitch and wiring drop 5. Put a flat black hinged hitch cover on so when I need to use the hitch the cover just flips up so the receiver can go in easily 6. Debadged the rear ex for the "Ford" emblem - I tend to like "the clean look" on my vehicles I've attached the "before" and "after" pictures. I'm glad I got this finished today as it's getting a little chilly here to paint outside lol.

Saw this today and thought it was rather interesting ............. http://torontosun.theautonet.com/2015/09/17/world-car-of-the-year-nominations-announced

I've had the no key detected warning come up randomly when I've been in the drivers seat and the smart key is in my pocket. It's happened to me 2 times in the 4 months since I've owned my '13. I just kept pushing the start button both times and eventually it worked. I was thinking it was blip in the software and/or some type of radio frequency interference. I work with someone who has a Dodge with a smart key and if she has her smart key in her purse with her smartphone at the same time most times her smart key doesn't work. RF inteference - could it be a factor in your situation?

As sad as it is to believe winter is only around the corner There was a story on the news here last night about people rushing to pre-order snowblowers already given the Farmer's Almanac is calling for even a longer and more harsh winter than last winter (is that even possible lol ???) In any case, I've decided to go with 17" steelies and snows with TPMS in each rim. I was always a Michelin X-Ice guy but a couple years back I bought a used set of Blizzak's with 1 winter on them already and was actually quite impressed with them. I'll hit my local Ford dealer and see what they can do for pricing on either X-Ices or Blizzaks. I do know that if I buy the rims, tires, and sensors from them they will re-calibrate my TPMS and speedo to compensate for the different tire size and pressure for "free" (included in the package price) and then do the same in the spring when I put my factory 20's back on. I'm going to try and wait until October to pull the trigger on them. I can't believe I'm actually talking about snow tires already

Contrat's on the new Edge and getting the remote start up and running !! As they say in life, the completion of one chapter of life opens another so retiring the Focus is a nice way to transition into the Edge. You've found a place full of great folks and great info on how to get the most out of your Edge and customize it the way you'd like. Welcome

First off - my heart goes out to all that are effected by this issue as it is truly brutal. In all honestly, aside from the cost factor, this is why I decided to go out and find a good used Edge versus buying a new 2015. In regards to robotics in the automotive industry, it's just like everything else - there are pros and cons to them. Just like any other piece of computer software, if the progamming of the robot is off it will perform the operation incorrectly considently over, and over, and over. This is why I don't understand why only some Edge's seem to be impacted and why Ford QA didn't catch this sooner in the build year. As a summer student years ago, I worked in the same Ford factory where the Edge's are made today only "back in the day" we made Ford Tempo's and Mercury Topaz's lol. The first major process automation in that facility was in the paint shop where robots took over the work from humans. Of couse, this was poorly received by the "human assets" remaining on the line but after the initial shakeout it worked out well. This process included "human asset' inspection of all automated paint work so defects seldom left the factory. Not sure how Ford's QA program evolved at that facility after I left but apparently there was a gap somewhere ..... no pun intended

FWIW, I converted my '13 SEL from stock headlights to HID's and my Edge uses my headlights as DRL's. The jey was to add an extra moduel to the setup that ran me about $50. The local car audio buy where I live and has done installs in my past couple of vehicles did this work for me. Charged me $125 for the HID's and $50 for "the module". Have been running them 2 1/2 months with no problem at all and I'm very happy with them. My HID's are 35 watt as well. Hope this helps .......

I used this one for the rear https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/174341491/custom-ford-emblem-black-with-chrome?ref=shop_home_active_11 Very happy with it and fast shipping. Best part if it is a metal cover that goes over the existing emblem so you don't have to remove the current one at all. I just cleaned it with some rubbing alcohol and used the already attached adhesive tape on the cover to put it on. Just an option in case you don't want to bother removing the rear emblem .....
