I would have to do that twice! His and hers.

Played around with music on an USB thumb dive today. I wantws to use two USB thumb drives with difference styles music on one USB port and the smart phone plugged in for nav on the other. I ordered a cheap USB hub adapter and the Edge barfed on it, saying that is does not support USB hubs, please remove. So I played around with more music on the USB thumb drive that I had been using with all the music files in the root of the directory. I now have three folders with different styles of music. It will at the last song of a folder start playing the next song in the next folder. Or I can push browse and choose a song from one of the other folders and it will start playing those in order. So I am happier, and now working on training DF on how she can manage the music. As a side note, I really like driving the Edge ST! May buy a second one for Arizona or fine a clean Sport for down there when we arrive this fall.

It works in 4G areas because the carriers still support 3G also. That is what is changing, support of 3G is being dropped to recover BW for newer services. If a car has 3G only hardware, it will not work when the carrier turns off their end. Time to upgrade the old flip phone! Ford could spec a 4G hardware upgrade for a fee if they wanted to. Or try to get you to buy a new vehicle, which route do you think they will take? https://www.business.att.com/explore/make-the-switch.html?WT.srch=1&source=EBPS0000000PSM00P&wtExtndSource=IoT&wtpdsrchprg=AT%26T%20ABS&wtpdsrchgp=ABS_SEARCH&wtPaidSearchTerm=%2B3g %2Bcompany&wtpdsrchpcmt=%2B3g %2Bcompany&kid=kwd-394592255915&cid=1616913013&schParam=1622&LNS=PS_IT_IOT_UNB_1018&TFN=B2B&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv7L6BRDxARIsAGj-34oX-XXQZaDT5Rjte0R56OeC0j5xdPAMMv01gv0fXqp_IXEH3yOmhQEaAnOTEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

"we suggest you please contact your Ford or Lincoln Dealer for possible alternatives." What did your dealer say? When analog cellular systems were going away, GM upgraded our Buick Rainier with new digital hardware. Maybe Ford will come up with a similar upgrade to your vehicle. I believe the newest models have 4G hardware.

Our rear hatch likes to open on its own while I am washing the last time just this morning I was standing beside it at the drivers side rear tail light and rinsing off the taillight area when the hatch opened. Chris

Anyone else with a ST in Ford Performance Blue notice the the plastic rear corners do not quite match the rest of the body color?

Forget this app, it does not work with Android Auto.

Can we talk head lights? Tonight we did our first really night time driving. High beams work good, auto mode works OK, do not like them switching to low beam when you slow below about 30 MPH, low beams work ok on a level road. Get on a rolling road with lots of ups and downs and the cutoff line stinks. Our RAM truck does the same thing, however I found running the fogs all the time fills in above the cutoff line without getting flashed a lot. The Edges fogs shine down and out. Can they be adjusted to the point of filling in about the cutoff line of the low beams. We drove about two hundred miles today, and lie-o-meter is reading 26.4 MPG.

Probably totaled. We got a new Edge ST because a red light runner did this to wife's 2004 Buick Rainier which insurance company totaled. Rainier only had 70K on the clock, and DW loved it. Let our insurance company handle it. Got $7129 from our insurance company that got that back from the other drivers insurance company. As soon as our insurance company gets back their 15K in medical payments back, then we talk to the other guys company about a P/S settlement for her. Glad you are OK. Best of luck working it out, can take a while.

"Crimping tools are designed to create an air-tight seal between the cable and the connector. ... Crimping offers stronger, more reliable connections than soldering. Soldering uses heated metal to join the cable to the connector. Over time, this filler metal will degrade, which may cause the connection to fail." I have a hydraulic crimp tool I use for battery cables. If the cable is to short, replace it or go to a marine supply or such store and get a butt crimp connector and a few inches of cable to extend it. Shrink wrap the extension.

Wow, wish my new 2020 ST had that cluster OEM! As the one it has is like someone kept layering on bandaids over a hole in the dash.

Gee golly, you should get the twin turbo 2.7L V6 with 335HP and 380lb ft torque and 8 speed tranny. No need to talk with parts guys, the Ford salesman up front can help you. Then you can go Vroom Vroom with ST seats, steering wheel, badges. wheels, suspension etc etc!

Hey, that looks like ours! Chris

We did not need a 3 row SUV also, so that is one of the reason we ended up with the Edge ST. The other factor was the fun factor of driving the ST. It replaced a totaled GMT 360 GM Rainier 5.3 V8. I like the ST a lot better! Mileage is a lot better, along with being much faster.

I loaded Sygic on my Pixel 3A and when I plug it in on the USB interface Google Maps keeps opening and not Sygic. Help! I can not find how to switch nav to Sygic.

I sewed up two belt pouches today for the smaller RAM and larger EDGE FOBs. Chris

So for the last five years I have carried my RAM truck keyless entry fob in a belt pouch that I sewed. And DW smallish Buick on my key chain. Along came the new Edge with its over sized fob, which I have been clipping to a belt loop. I looking for suggestions to better carry the two fobs in belt pouch(es). How are you handling this? Thanks Chris

We have had our first Edge for six weeks now and find it a lot of fun to drive. The ST's low end torque comes on nicely coming out of corner on a twisty road, which we have been going out of our way to find. It does not drive like a typical 4500 pound SUV. At 6'3" and 220 I find the bolsters on the front seat bottoms a little tight and hope they will soften up a little with use. Mileage has been in the low 20's for combined driving. Consider with have to drive for 10 minutes at 5-8 MPH leaving or entering our 360 acre RV park as our site is way in the back, the mileages seems pretty good. And I have been driving it a bit spirited in the twisties. I did the 2018 dual hour upgrade, just leaving the original bracket in place, removing the single horn and installing the new high / low horns on it. 15 minute job. Chris

2020 list of changes: 1. Lid gone on top of dash(good in my book, you can set a phone or such there without in sliding off) 2. No CD player available(USB thumb drives are easier to work with and re-writable) 3. Center console storage, single open with lift out insert(thumbs down) 4. Missing under-hood sound deadening(thumbs down) 5. ? 6. ? 7. ? Ford engineers should rent a FCA product with uconnect 8.4 in center stack and 7 inch EVIC display in front of driver, learn how to do a electronics package!

I really like driving the new Edge ST. A little comparison between a 1967 Camaro SS 350 I had. The internet says this about my old 67 SS/RS 350 Camaro: 0 to 60 mph in 8.0 sec, with the quarter mile coming up in 15.4 sec at 90 mph. 2020 Edge ST: 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 sec and the quarter mile time is 14.3 and 98 MPH Camaro weighed around 3300 pounds and the Edge 4500. And the Edge would run away and hide from the old Camaro in the twisties. I drove that Camaro a lot on Highway 1 on the Northern California Coast while stationed at Point Arena, Ca Loran A station there. Best to drive that road North bound if one has a DW riding shotgun. It is a bit like Pikes Peak, "real women do not need guard rails"! My DW said BS.

I have a car guy friend that recently bought a Lotus 7 an original 1968. He has many cars including 289 and 427 AC Cobras. I got an extended ride in the 289 a few years ago. He has his own paint booth and this is his paint plan for the Lotus.

First up should be to replace the single horn with the 2018 dual horns. Search horn on this site. I left the OEM bracket is place and just swapped the single horn for the 2018 High/Low horns, others replace the bracket but have to remove the up horn to get at at the bracket mounting bolt. Bracket is the same. Took 15 minutes max. 10MM 1/4 drive socket, with a short extension for the two high light bolts so I could spin the handle around. One plastic keeper to remove next to the fender side head light bolt. Now our 2020 ST has a proper horn. BTW, I am a little North of mid 70's and love driving the ST. Zoom zoom. A modern 4500 pound SUV with 335HP that is faster then the 3300 pound 295HP 1967 SS 350 Camaro I had back then. Chris

When we were looking to buy an EDGE the only lower safety rating area was "roll over" all others were excellent. I wonder if that glass roof plays into that. We bought a 2020 EDGE ST without a sun roof, which was good, as we did not want one. To OP, look around and drive a Sport, there was no turning back when we did. the twin turbo V6 is boss.

It took 10 or 15 minutes to install the new horns. I left the OEM bracket in place and just install the two new ones on the existing bracket. Two bolts and one plastic clip on the fender side. Wiggled the head light around to remove it, and unplugged it, setting it aside. Removed the nut from the existing horn and unplugged it. Removed both new horns for the new bracket. Plugged the lead horn in and mounted it on the lower point and then mounted the second horn on the upper point. Put the head light back in and installed the two bolts and plastic clip. Sound now sounds like it should have to start with. Shame on Ford for the single horn.

My new horns were delivered today to our mail drop, tomorrow I will retrieve and install them!!!!
