Well isn’t that great news to wake up to.  Went through this mess last winter.  One that featured the initial shop almost torpedoing my engine with a misdiagnosis in the process.  

Think I dropped about $1500 for flex plate replacement.  Time to go dig for that ticket!

There was probably still a traffic jam on the bridge approaching I94. HAHA!

With the MFT Sony systems... the sound quality will turn from "Surround" back to "Stereo" after using the 'voice' button for sync.  Every.  Single.  Time.  

Too bad.  Annoying to have to turn back every time.  "Surround" sounds so much better.

Finally got the solution to mine after the problem got much more frequent over the last month.  

 After throwing about 30 codes, which seemed to point to a communications issue, I had it in to the local Ford dealer for Diagnostics.  It took ALL day but they found the problem.  Turns out the drivers door wiring harness had a broken wire but inside the insulation so it wasn't obvious.  The break was in the part that goes from the door to the car.  They would squeeze and adjust the harness and the problems mentioned in my previous post would come and go.  

Fix called for replacement of this harness.

I've had the repair done now for three days now. And my issue is solved. Hard to believe that a simple failing wire can create so much chaos.

I'm sure the situation is fairly unique to my vehicle... but just in case someone comes across a similar issue in the future I wanted to put my conclusion out there.

All the best my friends.

Unless it's ugly, color means nothing to me when buying a car.  I wouldn't pay a dime for color options.

Thread resurrection.  
 

15 Ti with the OP’s exact issue.  This is a Ford MyTouch Edge.

Airbag light.  External temp goes to “- -“. All climate controls lock up.  Touch screen controls inactive too.  Sony radio controls inactive.  No air conditioning.  Really odd scenario that started widely intermittently with a/c going on/off last week but Quickly progressed to be a more frequent issue. 
 

Even got to the point to where if you shut the car off while the airbag light was on the Sony/Climate controls would be inactive upon restart.  Completely dead and dark.  Also noticed the front windows were inoperable and memory seat position wouldn’t work either when this happened.

Battery disconnection would fix the above issue but not the on/off a/c and airbag light.

Finally turned to the fuses.  With battery disconnected I removed the 12-13 fuse from the box in the cabin box (pain in the ass to access by the way) and reseated it.  Been driving the last 150 miles without any issue since.

Very odd scenario overall.  I do have a video of the symptoms I can upload to YouTube if anyone is interested.

I should also add with the chatter about batteries in above posts... mine is only seven months old.

You can clearly see the angle Outward is much sharper on the 09 mirror vs 15 mirror.  
 

No reason they shouldn’t bend more out than in.  Minor complaint overall.  If anything it makes me a better driver knowing I better continue looking over my shoulder. 
 

Love the new to me Edge overall. 
 

I hear you.  But there’s no reason for the blind spot mirror to cover 2/3 of the regular mirror.  My 09 Edge was by far more optimized.  My 12 Explorer is too.

I only have a sliver of the mirror on the side of my car for bearing.  Maybe I’ll upload a pic when I get home.  Still feel there’s an area in the blind spot that is underserved.

At the bottom of page 1 and beginning of page 2 this same thing is mentioned.  I didn't check the whole thread so maybe someone came up with a solution. 

You don't have your profile filled in and there's no sig so I don't know the year of your Edge.  If it's equipped with MFT then maybe they all just did that.  If you have a '16 or later with Sync3 I've never seen that issue mentioned.  

BTW, if you're using a phone or audio player with your system there's one thing you 'can' do to make your system sound better.  Use the equalizer settings  of that device.  In most cases you'll have 8-plus channels to play with instead of the 3 offered in the car's system which you should just set flat.

 

Sorry about that.  Profile was filled out but disabled for people to see.  15 Ti with MFT.  I scanned the thread and didn't see a solution.  Really weird and it's seemingly random on when it switchs, but usually a daily/every two days I have to change it back.  Can tell the sound quality instantly.

Thanks for the tip about a connected player.  I'll remember that.

A couple of things after driving my '15 Ti for a month now.  Blindspot mirrors aren't in the best position.  Need to be more outward IMO.  MFT keeps kicking the radio out of 'surround' mode and back to 'stereo' at seemingly random times.  Anyone know why this happens?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I cannot figure out the randomness of it changing back to Stereo.

One of the gripes I have.  Why does it keep randomly dropping out of "Surround" and headed to "Stereo"?

Anyone know a way to stop this?
