Are Ford Edge 1st gen and 2nd gen parts interchangeable?

[sushi4evo]

Hi there. I saw on the Ford Parts website that mostly all parts for my 2011 Ford Edge are compatible from 2007 to 2015, depending on the specifications, and I'm curious. Could I swap the dashboard, all interior panels and parts from my wasted 2011 Ford Edge to a 2009 MKX and all exterior parts and about engine , suspensión and powertrain? 

Repair for my Edge are beyond its current value, and I was able to find a 2009 MKX searching for DIY solutions to fix my car and save money. Thanks you all

The simple answer is possibly. (I seriously doubt no one here can give you a realistic answer.) 

 

Why not just go with the MKX? Outside the Sync 2 (which isn't anything you really need) the 09 Lincoln is a good upgrade over the Edge.

It seems like all the parts fit together. Although I see different things that don't seem to match or fit, I'll have to take it apart to see. My biggest problem now is that the 09 Lincoln MKX is AWD and my 2011 Lincoln MKX is AWD. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Sorry is my bad

I am the original owner of a crashed 2011 MKX and have been looking for parts and pieces for months. First, I bought a 2011 Edge and now this 2009 MKX.

Anything is possible if you swap enough parts over and put enough money and time into it.

It will be difficult because you are working across 2 different generations (1 and 1.5):
Gen 1: 2007-2010 Edge/MKX, Gen 1.5: 2011-2014 Edge, 2011-2015 MKX, Gen 2: 2015-2018 Edge, 2016-2018 MKX, Gen 2.5: 2019-2024 Edge/Nautilus

Comparing the 2007 MKX to the 2011 MKX, there are some big changes in the communications network. Both vehicles have a HS-CAN and MS-CAN. The 2011 has a new I-CAN for the infotainment.

Note: * = if equipped

2007 MS-CAN: Audio control module (ACM), *Dual climate controlled seat module (DCSM), *Driver seat module (DSM), *Audio digital signal processing (DSP), *Heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC), Instrument cluster (IC) (gateway module), *Liftgate/trunk module (LTM), *Parking aid module (PAM), *Rear entertainment module (RETM), *Satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS), Smart junction box (SJB).

2007 HS-CAN: ABS module, *Headlamp control module (HCM), Instrument cluster (IC) (gateway module), Occupant classification system module (OCSM), PCM, Restraints control module (RCM), *Steering angle sensor module (SASM), *4X4 control module

 

2011 I-CAN: *Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), *Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), *Front Control/Display Interface Module (FCDIM), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) (gateway module)

2011 MS-CAN: *Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), Body Control Module (BCM) (gateway), *Driver Seat Module (DSM), *Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM), *Global Positioning System Module (GPSM), *Heated Steering Wheel Module (HSWM), HVAC, Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM), *Remote Function Actuator (RFA), *Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L), *Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R), Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)

2011 HS-CAN: *Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), ABS module, Body Control Module (BCM) (gateway), *Cruise-Control Module (C-CM), *Front Lighting Control Module (FLM), *Headlamp Control Module (HCM), *Head Up Display (HUD), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) (gateway module), Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM), *Parking Aid Module (PAM), PCM, Restraints Control Module (RCM), Steering Column Control Module (SCCM)

Between the 2007 and 2011 Ford Edge and the Lincoln MKX, there were significant electronic and communications system upgrades. Both model years use a combination of High-Speed (HS-CAN) and Medium-Speed (MS-CAN) Controller Area Networks. For Gen 1.5 in 2011, a new Infotainment CAN (I-CAN) was introduced to support the more advanced multimedia features. The 2007 Edge featured a simpler setup, with modules like the Audio Control Module (ACM), Instrument Cluster (IC), HVAC, and Smart Junction Box (SJB) on the MS-CAN, and safety-critical systems such as ABS, PCM, and the Restraints Control Module (RCM) on the HS-CAN. Optional modules included the DSP, parking sensors, and satellite radio. In contrast, the 2011 Edge added far more complexity and integration, especially with the introduction of the MyFord Touch system. The I-CAN network connected new modules like the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), and Front Control/Display Interface Module (FCDIM), enabling touchscreen control, voice commands, and smartphone integration. Additionally, the MS-CAN and HS-CAN networks expanded to include more sophisticated comfort and safety systems, such as the GPS module, heated steering wheel, blind spot detection (SOD-L/R), tire pressure monitoring (TPM), adaptive cruise control, and a head-up display (HUD) in certain trims. The 2011 model also transitioned to a more advanced Body Control Module (BCM) that replaced the earlier Smart Junction Box as a central gateway. These changes show a major upgrade in vehicle electronics, transforming the Edge from a traditional SUV with basic electronic systems in 2007 into a modern, digitally connected vehicle by 2011.

I have already stripped all interior and body parts of the 09 MKX and I had previously stripped down my 2011 MKX. I added to the 09 mk  liftgate, rear bumper, impact bar and tail lights from my 11 mkx and everything fits. Doors seem the same so I am not going to remove them. Now,  The only problem I have found is that front does not fit because  2011 Edge has extension and the 2011 radiator support  and fenders does not fit. I suppose I should remove the ones from my 2011 MKX and weld them to the 2009 MKX frame. As for the electronics, I plan to move the dashboard with all the wiring, computer bcm and other parts to the 2009 MKX, suggestions?

Good idea, as you will be able to use the modern features like SYNC, BLIS, etc. You might have to do some wiring because not all of the connections will be the same.
