2021 Ford Edge ST. pixel Pro 6 with Android Auto. Both current updates. Whether I use wifi or USB to connect AA, I get random disconnects and sometimes need to reboot phone. Happens more frequently on longer rides. Anyone else? Anyone find an answer? Worked fine with same cables on my last car with AA and my wife's Toyota.

Or sell to Carvana and let them deal with it after tsb

Are you saying you use the app on the phone and play through car? You are not using the car to play the source? Not that it may make a difference, but are you using Bluetooth, or are you mirroring (Android Auto or Car Play). If you are saying the phone app plays some stations correctly, but not all, sounds like an app issue. Try another app such as npr podcast or heart radio, see if behaves same way. If it does, not the app. Then try mirroring, or the built in player in the car. You have a free 30 subscription.

Heard the new plus model keeps bugs off your car....

Maybe try Carplay? See if it works there. If so, Motorola is now making a wireless adapter for AA/CarPlay so you don't need to plug phone in every time. I've gotten so use to AA I almost never use Edge NAV (which is pretty good) and now my texts work again and I can simply ask the phone to play stations, send listen to texts, navigate, check calendar for apts, weather....

It's so new, why not just take it in under warranty?

Test drove both as 2021 models before buying. Nautilus was a very nice luxury package and expected to love it but I found: Ride was just OK, a little soft and didn't feel as nimble. Felt heavier and wasn't as level going through turns Dash was higher drivers side and had less visability. Thought was due to HUD, but they said same all models. Although I liked 4 cylinder turbo (torquey, quiet, good mpg) in our Titanium, with all the troubles with it wouldn't touch it again, and wanted to be able to tow sometimes. ST has higher, but not much, tow rating. Hard to find the Nautilus in mid priced package with a factory tow package Seats, for me, were more comfortable on ST Price as driven, $20k more than ST, plus forced dealer addons. Think this was due to different pricing on packages plus higher base price Good looking Lincoln though.

My old 2015 did this, kind of. From time of ownership, at about 45-55mph, when it wasn't under steady speed or acceleration, it would kick or buck sometimes when let off accelerator or slightly added. Dealer kept telling me waiting on a software update. At about 45k found a new dealer, they couldn't believe a kept driving it, diagnosed bad torque converter and replaced it and had to rebuild tranny. Fixed the issue.

Gave up on a 2015 Edge Titanium due to a lemon of an engine/tranny. Other than that loved the car. After 2 years came back and got the ST for the engine. My 2021 has been awesome in all categories. Better or equal to most of the $70k SUVs I test drove . Quiet, powerful, roomy, Sync 4a works fantastic, no shake on auto start stop, though I did get the bypass system. B and O radio much better than Sony, even remembers the last position of heated seats after turn off, rain sending wipers, AWD, LEDs, no fake engine noise, and the noise control system works. you can get great deals from some dealers if you hate yours, which is totally understandable no car pleases everyone. I got $2,500 more ( usually $7k less) than I paid 2 years ago for a Sonata and the Ford dealer sold me the new 2021 ST well below MSRP with no mandatory add ons, to run up the price. No, i don't have the sunroof but it makes it quieter and more head room, but the MSRP was only $44k which is a fantastic price for this car category. The KIA Telluride was going for over $55k with a waiting list, and the Lexus 350rx was over $70k. With the crazy used car prices it should cover the old low haggle prices if you just find a reputable dealer. In Alaska one Ford Dealer was selling in stock Broncos at MSRP. I'd say get rid of it, move on. Not worth owning it since you hate it that much.

700 miles, 50/50 Highways, air conditioning (78 degrees today), auto start/stop off, so far 21 - 22 mpg, and I do paddle shift on the back roads. Didn't buy this SUV for mpg, last car got avg 35, bought it for size, travel, ride, fun and light towing.

As I mentioned in the original post, this hasn't been easy. (1) USB smart charging - Bing video But this is before Sync4 4.a models, which are still smart chargers, and was hoping they upgraded to 5 amp max, but through my plug and play trial and error, it doesn't appear so, which is why I bought an amazon 5 amp smart accessory plug, which puts out 5 amp to one device or reduces to 2.5 each for dual charging. My aftermarket wireless charger seems to being working ok, but barely charges, more of holding it is own, while auto connected to wireless AA. If I leave phone screen on, slowly loses charge, which kind of makes wireless AA tough for long drives.

We'll... The center console also had one, but not in the front, under the arm rest in the bay. May not be where you want it though, so I'd consider hitting a stereo shop and let them install one exactly where you want

Look on the passenger side of the center console, by left leg. You probably just never noticed it.

Register on Ford website and you can download the manual. Much easier than paper, you can search for key words and get instant indexing. You can even have Maintenace reminders emailed to you or come up in phone app if car supports Cord Pass, which I believe all 2021s do.

Florida Flood won't sell in Florida. Ziegler, $100 deductible, 125k only $2,885 ? Powetrain only..... $2,425! Wow, and my car is only 3 weeks old with 60 miles! Florida must be 80% commissions.

Wow, $1,800? I just plugged my brand new 21 ST into the site, and your coverage comes up as $3,565! Power Train only, which covers engine, $2,770. PennFed has Power Train and more for $995, zero deductible, 6yrs/100k miles. This is for new cars, also other options. Not sure who it is through, but 60 free look-over to cancel if don't like what you see.

Never understood why the Edge with the v6 turbo and factory tow package only tows 3500lbs. With the power, braking, larger radiator, and the ST having A larger tranny cooler with AWD, makes no sense with other similar subs like KIA towing much more with similar package.

Thanks, and Happy New Year

Knew this, and still bought a left over 2021 several weeks ago. Have driven SUVS priced from 30k to 90k and the Edge almost always came back as my favorite, particularly when you factor in price comparisons as the only ones close were $70k-90k (BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar...). Even though my last one was a lemon and caused me a 2 year hiatus, I had to have one again. I see Edges everywhere, they seem to sell well, so killing it off this early seems to be the same reasoning, just as bad a decision, as when they killed off the Ranger. I wrote Ford and GM about 15 years ago (was driving a Prius) and asked them to come out with a hybrid truck. Look how long it took to make the Maverick. I even suggested the name Maverick to Ford and Montana to GM, go figure.

USB 3.x, as far as I ever heard or experienced, is backward compatible. I have some Galaxy and Pixel wall chargers that at the latest, and if I plug an old Nexus phone in them they charge fine. I've even got usb A to C adapters and cables they work fine (USB C supports higher amp and watts - most new laptops have USB C support for charging). What I'm after though is more amps/watts for newer, larger, devices. I found a wireless charger that fits perfect in the tray where the factory device is located, and since Sync 4 has auto connect with Android Auto, I use it all the time. Trick is finding enough amps to charge phone while phone is constantly pulling amps/watts. Works perfect when plugin/hard wired on Pixel and Galaxy, but wireless charging pads typically won't allow more than 10-12watts charging (there are a handful that do, but designed for home fast charging), and when not enough amps/watts being provided, or charging stops (such as getting hot which is common on car charging pads) your battery life goes backwards. I played around with it some today and think I can get just enough juice out of the USB A in the front bay to stay just slightly ahead (as long as display off) but interestingly when I use the usb A to USB C adapter, the C didn't put out enough juice. May have been the adapter, as it worked fine if I turned Android Auto off. Now to try the passenger accessory plug with a max 5 amp usb accessory plug I found. Ultimately, May already be at the best it can be, output may already be maxing out the pad. My last car had a built in charging pad, and this would sometimes happen. With Auto connect though it is sooooo convenient I'm trying to keep battery at same level or better.

Interesting... Thanks for the find!

Thank you for responding. Seems low as Ford says older smart USB is 2 amp. Newer phones need over 2amps or more to charge properly particularly if in use, tablets even more. I ordered a 5amp accessory plug to test charging, and this should help wife with her tablet. Maybe I can find an app that will give me watts and amp readings while charging. Thanks again.

Did major search and came up empty. USBs in console are connected to Sync, but that's not the question. How many amps do the USB A and C put out for charging? I found video on "smart power station" which says max 2 amps, but its an older Edge, and No USB C. So, on newer 2021 - 2022 with Sync 4, what are amps for each usb and watts if you know. Thanks in Advance.

Thank you!

Anyone know how to remove or access the bottom of the center console, where the USB chargers are and the optional wireless charger pad is? I'd like to run some wires to/behind it.
