It can absolutely be done, adding those features, however, it likely won't be "easy". I am not intimately familiar with how the edge is wired up, but you'll need the seats, probably some sort of driver seat module, the 8" screen and APIM, as well as all of the trim pieces required to house the 8" screen. I'm sure there's a some wire harness building involved too.

Got it, thanks @garycrist!

We used universals to jack the rear up if it was sagging. As long as the spring seats into the isolator, no grinding necessary. Then grind to fit once more, the isolator if necessary to fit the vehicle's perch.   Take a picture of the spring "pig-tail's  location relative to the upper spring perch (on the car) on both springs too. Sometimes getting them off may cause a little lean.  

Thanks @garycrist , O'Reilly's vehicle lookup says that they don't fit the Edge, even though the part is labeled as "universal." Wondering if it's worth the hassle. May be the only option at this point.

Ford cannot do any programming. You must program it yourself using FORScan. The face plate with the heated seats buttons may not even be required if you only want to control the heated seats through the touchscreen. The heated seats are controlled over the network, through the seat modules.

It can be completely DIY, you can gather up the APIM and screen, the face plate (with the heated seats buttons), install them yourself, program them yourself (using Forscan). As far as the heated seats, not sure what all would be required besides the seats.

Yes. The top picture is what I have. Any experience doing so yourself? What kind of program has to be done? Assuming only Ford can do the program?

Are we certain this would work? If so, what hardware is required?

If it were me, I would use a third party software, FORScan, to reprogram the ABS module.
