  1. Waze CarPlay>>Waze Applink. Much more responsive, superior layout and proper screen contrast. Also like the Google Maps integration. Have not used CarPlay in past but will now.
  2. FYI, they were right about the wheel protection. Those tires WILL find a curb or four after a few years. Ruins an otherwise nice look
  3. My sense was that this was intentional as turning directions are on left hand side pushing main path to the right to give a better view.
  4. After messing with it for a bit, got it to work for me in my 2016 Edge. I love that we have this option. A few things I noticed though. 1). Screen seems to be very low contrast for some reason. 2). If you turn off phone (lock screen) map freezes. You have to keep waze app active and phone on at all times. 3). Kind of glitchy. Freezes up every now and then. 4) Waze icon appears on left panel in main screen but no map. Have to be on full screen Nav to work.
  5. Yeah, I contacted customer service. They said theyd get back to me within a day. They never did. Looks like a loosing battle. Seems to me they should be able to do it if they want. But why would they. As far as they are concerned it means another radio or traffic subscription if they dont. Not really sure what to do at this point.
  6. I contacted Sirius to transfer my Lifetime Plan to my Edge. They say that If they do that, I will lose the free 5-year traffic package but could not offer an explanation as to why. Has anyone run into this and is there a workaround?
  7. Took my first road trip with 2016 Sport. Was a little concerned it would give a rough highway ride. Have to say it was the opposite. I was thoroughly impressed how the Sport handled the trip. It felt like the Sport was attached to the road. Such a secure and responsive drive which just never stood out in my daily driving. Very happy with how it did in the highway setting.
  8. Did my first road trip and got around 27 mpg. Overall I'm at 19 mpg. Was at around 18.2 mpg overall before the trip. Live in Long Island and do around 50% highway commute.
  9. Thanks for the feedback. Have to go to a body shop for another car. Will see what they say about mixing a batch up for me.
  10. Scraped a curb and damaged the paint a bit on my 2016 Sport. Anything be know if there is any type of touch up paint kit available for the rims? And if so has anyone tried it?
  11. Fwiw I do note that the cooled seats on my 2016 Edge Sport are functional but barely. When my back is a bit sweaty I can definitely feel the cooling from the seat backs. That's the only time I can feel it but under that circumstance I do find it helpful.
  12. I've got a 2016 Edge, 8000 miles, with a Bronze Fire paint job. I drive up to a 7/11 and a guy with same year and paint job pulls up. He runs up to me and tells me the front of the hood keeps pitting and its driving him crazy. Sure enough I look at mine and there's a bunch of pitting on mine too, I guess from highway pebbles and such. Never had a problem like this before. Anyone else have this issue and a fix? Maybe a bug deflector?
  13. I have a 2016 Edge Sport and I just noticed this happening a couple of days ago. Seems like it coincided with extreme heat. No cooling for several minutes and then suddenly it cools fine.
  14. I have a 2016 Sport. Is there any type of accessory mode, similar to what you would do when you turn the key one click on key start vehicles. Seems like you can press the start button without your foot on the break and then press it again and it will stay in an accessory state for around 10 minutes. Any way to activate it for longer than that?
  15. Tried adjusting sound settings similar to those shown above and it does help to improve the sound a bit. There's just this really muddy band around the miss to lows that sounds bad. I noticed that it seems to help a bit too if I move the fader back a bit. In my car, the default was right in front of the seat as graphically displayed on the sync system. I moved it behind the seats a bit and I think it helps. The problem seems to stem from a speaker or speakers above the dash.
  16. I can see that if it gave you a free wifi hotspot that would be something great. You could take advantage of Spotify, Pandora and things like that without using all of your data. As far as the four things they are advertising now, I just don't see the big deal. This is not one of those cases where I feel like I should have waited for the 2017 Edge. Thank goodness. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
  17. I did get a chance to adjust per some of the posts here. Does sound a bit better. Still certainly not one of the highlights of a very nice vehicle I'm wondering how much difference changing the door speakers would make. Seems like the speaker(s) in the dash are quite pronounced (and muddy) but next to impossible to access in all likelihood(?). Anyone have any success improving the sound with the 12 speaker Sony system?
  18. Just got a new 2016 Edge Sport and am very disappointed with the audio quality. A big major negative in a new ride that I love. I notice that playing music through my iphone (not bluetooth) sounds quite a bit better than SiriusXM which sounds awful frankly.
  19. Bought an Edge Sport from this dealership. Very good experience overall. They are a Costco and Truecar dealership which originally led me to them from Long Island. I was originally quoted a very low price but on the wrong vehicle. Same options different color. Asked for the color I wanted and it was thousands more. Seemed very odd and shady and could not get me an answer at first. But the Sales Manager called and told me that the first quote was mistakenly based upon 2015 price. When I looked at the original quote they gave me it was the correct 2016 VIN but they had it identified as 2015. This all made complete sense to me and they even lowered the price several hundred under their normal internet price to make up for the mistake. Ended up coming in well under the listed invoice. The experience at the dealership was very positive. Everyone was quite helpful. No hard sell on any extras. They suggested that I may want to consider tire protection because of the low profile 21" wheels. Considered it but did not buy. Love the vehicle and could not be happier. I would definitely shop there again.
  20. I am noticing it now on regular startup but not as pronounced like you said. I'll try adjusting lift gate. Thanks for the tips.
  21. Yes, I do notice it on regular startup also. I'll try the lift gate tip. Thanks for the tips.
  22. Thanks. But wouldn't this happen every time you start the vehicle. The snap/arc noise is very noticeable only when pushing the start button after a remote start. Guess I'll have to take it in. I'm having an issue where my rear hatch immediately close after it opens anyway, no matter how I open it.
  23. Have not noticed any of those issues but I do notice something odd with remote start. After I get in the car after a remote start and press the Start button, there is a pretty significant snap/electrical arc noise. I'm sure there's a lot of juice running through the car on a very cold day but that seemed a little odd to me. Has anyone else noticed this?
  24. Ended up waiting for dealer stock to get my 2016 Edge Sport. Bronze Fire 401A Cold Weather Package Vista Sunroof 21" Wheels Wasn't sure about adaptive cruise control and the one that I could find didn't have it which ended up making my mind up for me. Well I guess I saved a grand and don't think I'll miss it (since I never had it). Looks amazing and I'm thrilled so far. Wife very jealous, we'll see how that goes. It ended up coming in under "invoice". Checked out both the Truecar and Costco services. Costco seemed to come up a little cheaper in my case. Really want to test out the 2.7 but I'm trying to be good and take it easy for the first 1000 miles in accordance with the manual break-in instructions. Am I being too cautious??
  25. That's great. Thanks you I'll be going with the Cold Weather Group for sure.
