I have a 2008 Edge Limited. As a condition of the sale (brand new from the dealership) I asked for them to turn on DRL. When I went to pick it up, it was not enabled. They pulled the vehicle up to service, plugged in to the port drivers side under dash, went through some menus, and it has worked perfectly ever since. Took about 10 min start to finish. Hope this helps

have to admit its been a LONG while since I last logged into the forum, so it was a pleasant surprise when one of my old threads was 'revived'... so in the 2011's and later, how do they turn on DRLs now? All the Edges are still made around the corner from my house here in Oakville, so I can't see there being different DRL equipment being installed in the Canadian vehicles from the US bound vehicles.

sorry... DRL on my 08 Limited use low beam

Hi All Anyone upgraded their SYNC to use 911 Assist? According to www.syncmyride.com its now available at dealerships, but the ones I've called have no idea about it. Thanks in advance Kyle

Oakville - lots - in fact MORE and MORE every day - they just keep coming! :yup:

sorry - i should have mentioned again that I purchased my edge in buffalo due to strong canadian dollar. i then imported it into canada. it is a us vehicle (down to the miles not kilometeres on the speedometer). i'm confident that if you too have a 2008 limited model (I can not speak to others as this is the only one i have experience with) and have the dealer turn them on, regardless what the manual says, they will work in automatic mode. Kyle

kali4nia58: I have the 2008 Limited - and I checked before purchasing that it had the DRL capability prior to purchase. Sorry I don't know abut the SE model. bbf2530 & Hardhawk: My DRL work fine when the headlight switch is at the Automatic position. In fact, I would not have been able to import it into Canada (or more specifically it would have failed the inspection) if at any switch position, the headlights were not on while moving. Of course, as you've all stated, the DRL are off when the vehilce is in park. Kyle

Search the Forum for other Daytime Running Light threads. VERY easy for dealership to turn on for you (no more than a 15 minute job) by hooking up their computer and navigating a couple of menus. If you have not already done so, make it a condition of your contract for same price.

Hi All Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change the Speedometer faceplate? I have spoken to a couple of dealers and they are all saying I have to change the ENTIRE console at over $500. Does anyone know who supplies the console to Ford? Is there a part number for the face plate? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I too am interested in these questions being answered before I take this plunge... anyone can shed some additional light? kyle

WARNING FOR EDGE OWNERS WITH CAMEL (TAN) INTERIOR I received my WeatherTech "Tan" floor liners this morning, and they are BROWN, not tan. Despite the photos on their website, and even the photo on the box it is delivered in, the color is no where close to camel, sand, tan, etc. I contacted WeatherTech directly (as they were the ones that drop-shipped them to me) but their customer service was standoffish and less than helpful (I just wanted to swap them for black). The only saving grace was that I purchased them via AUTOANYTHING, and with their clout, they were able to expedite an exchange. Kyle

I have searched these forums extensively for info on back up cameras, and found some success stories with 2rd party systems. I've also found short comments that the Factory NAV system supports this, but there are no further details provided. I am looking for confirmation that there is an input for a back up camera in the rear of the Factory Installed NAV system. If so, what Also, does any additonal wiring have to be done, other than power to the camera and running the appropriate cable from the camera to the NAV system? I'm specifically thinking about a wire into the wiring harness to indicate when the vehicle is in reverse (and therefore knows to show the camera on the NAV screen). Thanks Kyle

Hi All On a Factory Installed NAV in a '08 Edge, what do I need to do to allow the passenger to enter destination information, enter a text message, etc. while the vehilce is in motion. I'm assuming its not a hidden menu option, but rather a wire must be pulled from the wiring harness. Question is - which one? Thanks, Kyle

Sorry... I'm on a business trip right now and trying to read the forum on my Blackberry... its a bit jumbled and I totally missed Post #2 Thanks to all for the posts... spoke to the Service Manager and let him know how to do it (not to mention surprised him that I had all the steps and lingo!) Kyle

Hi Gary Can you post the name of the dealer (or PM me)? I would like to call them and ask their Service department for the high level 'how its done'. The dealer I have in Buffalo were quick to say they don't know how to do it so I would like to give them a little push. I pick up the car on Friday so I'm hoping to have them do it tomorrow. Thanks Kyle

Hi I've just bought at 2008 Ford Edge Limited - in Buffalo. I need to turn on the Day Time Running Lights, which I've been told IS installed in the vehicle, jsut not turned on. Canadian Dealership wants $100 to "flip the switch". US Dealership wants $50 to do the same, but called today to say they don't know how. ANY HELP would be appreciated. Thanks Kyle

I too am looking at DVD headrests, but am sceptical of your "review". Headrestsvideo.com website is very limited in information about their business. Their domain registration is similarly vague. where are they located? where did the headsets ship from? what is their non-800 telephone number? If you don't mind, who else did you consider with your "tons of research"? What was it about the other products that didn't meet your criteria. What was your criteria? In my PERSONAL opinion, Audiovox is not a Tier 1 electronics supplier. I apologize if its not, but your message seems closer to an advertisement for headrestvideo.com, than a legitimate posting.

check your facts (preferably not at a canadian dealer). the warranty is 100% valid for vehicles purchased in the US and registered in canada

Mark What about NTFS? Thx Kyle

I too am looking for winter tires for my 2008 Edge Michelin P245/60R18 tires. I have always purchased Michelin winter tires and have been very happy with their performance. Unfortunately, I learned today that they do not make a winter tire in this size. Other than looking at another tire manufacturer, what size options do I have if I want to keep using the original 18" rims (I'm not too sure about the width to sidewall to radius relationships). Thanks for any help!

Anyone? I want to arrive at the dealer with a complete understanding of his costs. From some of the posts out there, it maybe possible to negotiate a better deal than the X plan. My current lease is running out and I need to act fast. Thanks again in advance! Kyle

Hi All Does anyone have, or know of where I can find the specifics on Canadian Invoice Pricing for the 2008 AWD models (including options). Also, can anyone clairify if the dealer hold-back (3%) is same up here as it is in the US. Thanks!
