  1. Ford Edge 2016 SEL - same problem, rear right passenger, near the roof handle. Has less than 6 months. Creaks and rattles appearing all over the vehicle. So much for the quality manufacture. Maybe 50.000 USD is not enough for Ford to create a car that at least feels as a quality vehicle?
  2. Yes only one in the dash. The other one you can use as a spare. I replaced only middle speaker and sound got much better.
  3. I replaced it with one of these, it's a drop in: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R3022CX/Infinity-Reference-REF-3022cfx.html?tp=96 Infinity Reference REF-3022cfx It helps a lot create a better sound stage. By the way, the stock speakers in Edge 2016 9 speaker system are ABYSMALLY BAD. The magnets are so small, the speakers are so bad. Use a plastic prying bar to move upwards the plastic dash covering the speaker. It can be done without disarming everything, just remove the cover, take out old speaker and put new one in. You will be VERY surprised when you see how bad are the stock speakers Be careful when putting back the dash over the speaker, do not push it all the way down or it may cut the speakers suspension.
  4. 99.9999% yes. Costs nothing to try, besides getting the ODBII MX dongle.
  5. There is another possible reason, they have a bug, somewhere in the system, which can be triggered by climate control via steering wheel. Instead of fixing the bug, they hid the climate control.
  6. Yes, how in the world could I change radio station from my wheel and also from buttons or touch screen? Just imagine, accidentally changing a radio station by clicking on a button. I bet they are all so confused. I agree with you, the only controls I use from the wheel are climate and phone calls and sometimes entertainment... hell I guess I use them all but the navigation. :-)
  7. I cannot think of a good reason to remove climate control from the right display. If you don't want to use it, don't use it. Entertainment Navigation Phone vs Entertainment Navigation Phone Climate It's a no brainer. My Edge 2016 has again the climate control via steering wheel, yes yes yes!!!!
  8. Yes, I used forscan, really easy to do. What you are actually doing is changing the configuration files used by Instrument Panel Control. You just switch a feature ON and it's there. It boggles my mind why did Ford hide climate control on Edge 2016?! It's such a useful feature.
  9. IT WORKED! I can now control my climate via steering wheel! The right display is showing again the CLIMATE control! All on my Edge 2016.
  10. Dude, I lost 12 pounds and gained a couple of HP! Now I can use the AC!
  11. You cannot select the lowest speed of fans when on auto. You cannot select the air ducts to be used when on auto. With steering wheel controls it's easy. Up for hotter, down for colder, right, up for faster, down for slower fan. Done. Perfect. And you can see the changed settings in front of you, no need to look for the button to press, screen to read results.
  12. That actually is not true. On auto mode, you cannot select air ducts to be used. On auto mode, you cannot select the slowest fan speed. Even in auto mode, I have to look down and search for the button in order to change the temperature then look up and read the new temperature, all the while the car is moving down the road.
  13. Oh, that's awesome news. At last I will be able to control climate without trying to make it understand my command, repeating YES etc. How do you SAY "hotter, hotter, stop, colder, stop, fan, faster, stop?" Up or down to make it hotter or colder, right, up or down to make fan go faster or slower, never taking my eyes off the road, always seeing the changed settings in front of me. Just like I could on my ford fusion
  14. I just saw Ford Fusion 2017 come with the climate control via steering wheel controls. I'm looking at the OBDII scanners and www.forscan.org and thinking, could it be possible to enable the climate control? Why would Edge 2016 not have it, is there a hardware missing or what? I keep having to stare at my central dashboard trying to figure out what button to press, in order to control my climate. Several times I almost hit a car in front while fiddling with climate buttons and trying to figure out at what speed are fans working at. For some reason, Ford made it really hard to find buttons without looking and gives almost no visual or haptic clues of what's going on while changing fan speed or temperature. It doesn't make it easier the fact that they put in the same horizontal orientation both fan speed and temperature buttons.
  15. I´ll take some photos tomorrow. For those saying there is no space or "what happens when you put the seat all the way down" I say: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/under-seat-subwoofer Under seat subwoofers are really popular and seats in Edge can´t go lower than rails they sit on, which are pretty high. I know Sony´s version is in the back, but... what in the world is this? It can´t be amp, amp is part of the central console.
  16. Hey, I just found a box that looks a lot like a subwoofer box under my Ford Edge 2016 SEL copilot's seat! Didn't remove/open it, preparing to do it. Is that really a subwoofer box?! Is cabling already there? It would be awesome if it was :-)
  17. My Ford EDGE 2016 3.5L is the first car I had that had SPORT mode that actually did make a difference. I ride in sport mode all the time, I love it. It really transforms the car. Paddle controls also work really fast, I have no complaints.
  18. How do they do that? Is it like a spray or? Very interesting.
  19. Do you have a diagram/pictures/help on how to remove front door panels on Edge 2016? I got the "premium" sound with 9 speakers and it is downright awful, compared to my previous Ford Fusion 2015 with only 6 speakers.
  20. Really?! Let's remove then both 4.2" screens, they are too distracting!!!! I would like to see where you are getting your information from.
  21. Car Accident Caused By Driving Distraction Driving distraction causes lack of concentration and attention for brief period. Distraction often occurs while playing with radio to search for a song or favorite station. Other causes of distraction while driving are eating or drinking while driving, talking to fellow passenger and talking on phone. Sometimes, driver is distracted by a spectacular scene and tries to watch the landscape or a panoramic view while driving, leading to accident.
  22. I just want to control thermostat temperature and fan speed without killing myself. That is all. I used to be able to control climate via 4.2" screen and then Ford removed it, for no good reason at all. It is a BUG, which Ford should fix. Someone broke the build of the app and deployed it without a very important feature.
