I'd like to know as well. What a ridiculous way to turn on and off. A hard switch like the seat heating would be much more logical. I would guess that enabling it would involve forscan, right?

It's Apple fans who need the hub, not Android. I did the update and have android and it works without changing the hub.

Your Edge has fog lights? I thought only the European models had fog lights.

thanks for the info. yes, i see that there isn't much space between the seam and the plastic. i agree that square/rectangular would be ideal. we'll see what i can figure out. i just had my tires swapped at the dealer since i didn't have room to store them. now i have a garage and my winter tires are here so come next winter, i'll just pop them on myself when i feel like it.

LOL

Thanks, I have found many variations on this theme but the problem is that the slot is not even half as deep as the seam. To me, that completely negates the use of this puck since the weight of the car will still be on the edge of the seam, not on the "frame" above it. you've had no deformation of that seam then? is the slot deep enough to accommodate the entire seam so that the weight of the car sits on the surface of the puck and not the edge of the seam?

I have a rolling hydraulic floor jack and would like to use it to lift my 2016 Edge. I'm guessing that if I lift the car by its spot welded seams that they will bend. I've seen pads that look like a hockey puck with a slot across the top that sit on the jack and you lift the pad so that the seam goes in the slot and the top surface of the pad is where the weight of the car rests, not on the edge of the seam. I measured the seam height and it's a good inch but most of the pads I see on amazon have slots that are half of that which means that the weight of the car would still rest on the edge of the seam. Do any of you use a pad with a slot? If so, where did you get it? thanks

Thanks very much jmr061 and akirby. Now I have what is needed to have them do something when I take it in for the next service.

wow, ford finally recognizes a problem that people are having! does this service bulletin prescribe a remedy or does it simply acknowledge the problem? is there anywhere to see this service bulletin?

what's the difference between this and remote access above in post #8? the latter seems to already be available.

thanks for that info omar302. i will look more closely at this. I rarely use the remote start anyway since the car is in the garage. One thing that confused me when I used it the first few times is that after i get in the car, i put my foot on the brake to press the start button but then the engine shuts off. I have to press the start with no foot on the brake to get the car going. i haven't tried just taking it out of park though. it just doesn't seem very intuitive. i'll have to get used to it.

I was wondering about this feature as well since my seat heating does not go on automatically when i start the car remotely. the user manual states: "In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C). The heated seats are set to high (if available, and selected to AUTO in the information display). The rear defroster and heated mirrors automatically turn on" What is the definition of "cold weather?" In my case, the temps are only a few degrees above freezing but the seat heating does not go on nor does the steering wheel heat or rear defroster or heated mirrors. I would have thought that 2 degrees C would qualify as "cold weather." I know I can set the preferences to use the last setting but that would mean that i would have to set everything before i shut down the car. Hardly automatic.

I'm fairly certain that is a phone feature, not a sync feature. https://www.cnet.com/news/apples-new-maps-app-will-remember-where-you-parked-your-car/

does the radio info not show on the right side display of your instrument cluster? i see music info while playing off my usb stick there while using google maps on the large center display.

I tried AA very briefly last night after finally having success installing the update. I have a 128GB USB stuck almost filled with FLAC files. I was able to launch Google maps, switch to sync, play music, and return to maps while the music kept playing and I could hear the navigation instructions over the music. I need to test this out driving but I'm guessing that you should be able to do both at the same time.

arghhh, i'm having troubles. i downloaded the non-nav file from google drive link that was posted upthread. last week i tried using a macbook to unzip the files onto a memory stick. either the memory stick was no good or the mac didn't work. my attempted updates went 45 minutes without completing. so now i've unpacked my windows box and used a good usb stick. update completed message appeared on the car after almost 20 minutes and then 15 minutes for part two. thought i was good to go but my sync info still says version 1.0. i restarted the car a couple of times but no go. what do i need to do now? just wait? if i do a master reset, will that erase the update and take me back to v1.0 (even though that's what the info says i have.) anyone have any ideas? [edit] never mind. went back after dinner and it said 2.2. i'm guessing that the system must be doing something in the background that takes a while. woohoo! all is good. i can't wait to use this, it looks fantastic. thanks so much for posting these update files. i can't believe that ford is not living up to their word by delivering this in 2016. okay, they still have 5 days but...

Most cars in Europe have rear fog lights. They are usually a single very bright red light so the car behind you can see you from a greater distance. I've seen a few German cars around here using them but they use them in the rain which with the reflections and glare tends to blind the driver behind. If you ever see a car driving around with what appears to be a single brake light stuck in, that's a fog light.

Check out the pics I posted in another thread of an edge in Spain. They come with fog lights standard front and rear and the halo is around the headlamps. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/21099-1516-edge-headlamp-switch-with-front-fogs/ Anything like this will be far from plug and play though. I would love this setup but not willing to do all that rewiring. Would most likely good my warranty as well.

Thanks @SweetCandyEdge and @rvcjew. I've got a one-hour drive on Monday morning so I'll give it another shot then. I have loads of good, fast thumb drives but they're pushed away until Friday. So if this cheapo stick, that I picked up for five bucks just to do this update, doesn't work then I'll just wait until next weekend. I appreciate your suggestions.

after 40 minutes of "updating system" i pulled the plug. i saw estimates upthread of 15-20 minutes so I thought at 40, something must not be working. a few other oddities, when i pull out the USB drive, the message "device detected" appears in the header of the screen. the first few times i tried the install, it would run for about two minutes and then a message would pop-up saying "update paused. blah blah will resume when you reinsert the USB stick." I tried removing and re-inserting the stick but no go. i finally did a master reset to sync and restarted the install. it worked but this is when it was still going after 40 minutes. any ideas anyone? (BTW, it's the non-nav version in a 2016 edge titanium with sync 3 v1.0)

2013 edge. is it the original battery? if so, it could be at its end of service life. don't forget that cold weather weakens a battery as well. i usually change my batteries pro-actively every 5 years max so i don't get stuck anywhere. yes, it could last another year or two but if you divide the price of a battery by 5, the annual cost is very small compared to what it "costs" (in time, frustration, potential danger, etc) if you can't start the car in a bad situation.

I use Google maps all the time as well. I just don't care for having a phone holder on the window and the cable dangling down. That's why I'm hoping that maps works well on the big display.

the other thread regarding AA/CP is technical and regarding the installation of the upgrade. How about using it? how is it, what are you doing with it? does google maps work and negate the need for built-in nav? please share your experience.

Thanks for that. I'll give it s go this weekend. I will be extremely happy if I can use AA on the car.

Has anyone done this file download and transfer to a USB stick on a Mac? My windows desktop is packed away until next weekend (Christmas) and I'd love to get this installed.
