  1. I believe I found where fuse taps were installed, which explains why I don't see any on the fuse panel.  I didn't follow the wires because the pavement was too hot to kneel on for long, but it would appear they were somehow installed near the OBDII module.  I'll have my dealership confirm the wiring is acceptable the next time I'm in for service.

  2. Great to hear, thanks.  I haven't enabled parking mode yet, but I thought it was odd that I couldn't set it to less than 12 hours.  3-6 hours would suffice for my needs, but I guess they can't please everyone.  By the sounds of it, the system may not even achieve 3 hours anyway :)  One thing I have learned is that if the windshield or lens have any smudges, the video is blurred.  Once the novelty wears off and I stop taking the camera inside to download video directly off the SD card, I'll make sure everything is ultra clean and leave it alone.  I agree with you both, the installer earned his fee ($170 CDN).  It took him two hours to do the job, and by the looks of it the fuse panel is a b*tch to reach, so he earned it.

  3. I purchased a two-channel dash camera system and hired a professional installer to complete the fuse-tap and conceal the wiring.

     

    I'm not keen on aftermarket items being noticeable to passers-by when the vehicle is unattended, so the trade-off for discreet placement of the front camera is a partially obstructed view because of Ford's windshield housing (picture attached).  

     

    The parking mode module is configured for a 12-hour timeout or a 12V (±0.1V) cut-off, and there's a manual shut-off switch installed in the glove compartment.  My dealership recommended a 12.5V cut-off, if possible, but the installer told me it wouldn't enable in that setting.  The installer also assured me that the Edge's electrical system will cut power to the camera system, regardless of what my settings are, to ensure reliable, year-round starts.

     

    Has anyone else installed a similar aftermarket item that's capable of drawing battery power with the ignition off?

  4. I really only posted the picture for others to see since Ford doesn't show what you're getting for your money on their website.  There could be a first time, agreed.  I don't usually buy accessories, but with this vehicle, I decided to go all out with every option available (except the towing package) to the Titanium.

  5. My vehicle was done today.  Only details listed are:

     

    Complaint:  19B11 Headlight Reprogram

    Correction:  19B11.3

     

    The Adaptive Headlamp menu (as described in the manual) is still absent from my information display panel.

  6. Does the FSA (19B11) also add Adaptive Headlamp options in the information display?  (Pg. 107 of the manual:  Lighting -> Adaptive Headlamps -> Traffic Set Up -> Select Setting).  I'm waiting for a part to arrive for unrelated service, so they'll be updating my vehicle as well.

    Good grief you guys are ridiculous.  There's nothing you can do to a car in 70km that's ever going to cause "huge power train failure".

     

    If any of you actually saw how they drive every single car around the plant, you'd probably never buy any one of them.

     

    The question was, "Wanted to ask the owners here what was your mileage on the car when you took delivery?"  I don't feel ridiculous at all for answering, but thanks for the additional information.

    Also if the vehicle has a Vista roof, it should have been cleaned and greased AT LEAST annually with the correct lubricant

    I purchased a dry lubricant in anticipation of doing some maintenance on the Vista roof myself this fall, but can you elaborate on the specific lubricant that should be used if known?  By the way, that was quite the comprehensive reply to the OP!  I hope it's appreciated ;)

  9. After taking it into the shop to test my complaint, my dealership confirmed to me that it is equipped with a "Level 5" (Adaptive LED) headlamp system.  At first, they thought it was a lower level system which is why they quoted me CDN $6000 had they not been installed already.  I didn't think to ask exactly what that level entails, but I got the impression that it was the top tier, at least for the 2019 Edge, as far as advanced headlamp systems go.

  10. Thanks for the info!

     

    Although the SSM is dated February 2019, they've known about this for at least five months now (since November 18, 2018, when the Adaptive Lighting menu wasn't included or was removed from my vehicle's software).

     

    My dealership let me view a print out of the report (large paragraph), and I'm fairly certain I read the SSM also includes "Auto-Leveling," which prevents glare into the windshields of oncoming motorists under certain uneven road conditions.

     

    My dealership also told me that if they had to install the Adaptive Headlamp feature on a vehicle not equipped, it would cost about CDN $6000!  So this feature was a large part of what we paid for upgrading to the 301A/401A equipment group.

     

    It will be nice when engineering has time to finally deal with this issue.

  11. I e-mailed Customer Relations the other day to inquire about Sync 3 map updates, and this was their reply:

    You will receive a notification via mail and/or email once the map update is ready. We are hoping to have more details soon. For your other inquiry, please contact Ford of Canada’s Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-565-3673 (M-F 8:30AM to 8:00PM EST).

    I tried to update sync but get a MEM_ERR03. I've downloaded the file 3 times, verified the zip integrity so at this point I think it is off to the dealer. The car is still in warranty so they need to figure this crap out, I'm done being their beta tester. As Ben Senise says, this setup is not ready for prime time . At all.

     

    Information about a MEM_003 Error is found HERE (under troubleshooting tips) on Ford's website:

     

    Troubleshooting tips

    I received a MEM_003 Error - What do I do?

     

    This error occurs when you remove the flash drive before the update has been able to start. 

    SYNC will take up to 5 minutes to recognize the update and begin the installation. During this time, SYNC will not display any messages. If the USB drive is removed too soon, SYNC will display the MEM_003 error message. To start the update again, you should: 

    Remove the flash drive.

    Perform a master reset. 

    Turn the vehicle off and open the driver side door.

    Once radio turns off, close the door and wait 5 minutes.

    Start the vehicle and insert the flash drive.

    Wait until the update starts.

    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, a dealership visit would be required.

  13. It may be related to SSM 47682, which reads:  "Some 2019 Focus/Transit Connect/Edge/Nautilus vehicles equipped with 8F35 transmission may exhibit an appearance of a fluid leak or weep from transmission axle shaft seal. This condition may be caused by excessive internal seal (dark brown)..."
