Honestly, go to TireRack or someplace similar and replace the whole shebang for the same price. I don't know if TPMS can come off and be reinstalled on a new rim though. Then just try to sell the good ones to people who are in your situation. And yes, that price is flippin ridiculous.

Use the Google search on the left, it's much better. I was looking to get the JL Cleansweep, which takes the audio from the speaker out leads. Then you hook up an inline amp afterwards. You still get all stock control, and now better sound.

I'd go for the blue, but get more info about the minor collision (car fax). Ask them to put it on the alignment rack too.

It's amazing when you sync your iPad, and now I have a temp!

MFT app doesn't have the temp on it

Follow up on the install. I a about to remove the SR80s from the front and possibly just swap them with the SC85s in the rear. The main problem is the pull handle almost perfectly blocks the tweeter from the ear. I get a pretty bad dead spot. If that doesn't work, I may pull them all out and get some Infinity's with the directional tweeter. I don't know. Maybe I'm just nuts.

There are 2 ways of doing it. One get your dealer to turn on the DRL option next time you are in for service. It will require am upload so it will take some time. You can also put electrical tape over the sensor that is front and center of the dashboard. However, your dashboard will always be dimmed, which makes it hard to read in the day, especially in the sunlight, and especially if you are wearing sunglasses. Or you can do what I do and turn the knob every time i get into the vehicle.

Congrats. My first just turned 14 months, if you need car seat recs, let me know.

This weekend I installed a new Draw-Tite Class III/IV hitch on my 2012 Edge. It took a bit longer than the estimated 45 minutes, but I think that assumes you have a lift, a buddy, and have done this before. I think all in all it took me under 2 hours. But it was beautiful outside so who cares. As far as I can tell, this hitch, #75709 is the same as the Hidden Hitch 87604, and Reese 44658, and all have a $30 mail-in rebate thru July 14th. First off, let the car's exhaust cool down. You don't want to get burned when you lower the exhaust. Lower the exhaust: I went ahead and removed all 4 rubber isolators, rather than the 3 that are just on the rear exhaust (the 3rd one is behind the muffler, and not as obvious as the other 2 hangers). I don't know if this was bad or not, but now that I think about it, it probably wasn't a good idea. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't do remove that hanger. To remove them, I sprayed the post with WD-40 and used a screw driver to get them off, it's kind of a pain, but they eventually come off. My wife helped me lower the exhaust after I removed the center and 3rd isolator. Disconnect rear facia support: Really simple, unbolt the center support, carefully fold it back as pictured, and replace the bolt into the original hole. Remove the heat shields: 3 bolts each, and one plastic plug. This plug is pain to remove. Note, on the drivers side sheild, my wiring harness was attached to it. I kept it attached, and modified the shield while it was still under the vehicle, it wasn't too hard to do at all. Trim heat shields: Using tin snips made this task very simple. Cut the tab off and cut the other corner off to make room for the bolts. Replace the heat shields: The less you have to do before fishing the bolts in place the better. Just put the one screw in loosely and attach that plastic plug to get it in the general vicinity (you are replacing the screw that is toward the center of the vehicle). Set up bolts and pull wire: Attach the pull wire to the bolts, and place a kink in the wire to pull the spacers. Do not straighen out the pull wire, as you will need the curl to guide the wire into the proper holes. This took some time, but by the second side, I got a handle on it. Be patient, and you will guide it to the right hole. Do not remove the wire from the bolts at this time. If they get jostled while moving the hitch into position, you can still guide them back. Install the hitch: I don't have many picture of this portion, but I did figure out one great idea. Use a floor jack to position the hitch. This made it so much easier, just center the jack, and the hitch pretty much balancees on the jack. I raised the hitch up near the rails, guided the pull wire though the hitch mount, placed the heat shield in its proper place, and the proceeded to jack the hitch up to body. With the washers and the bolts handy, I then removed the pull wire from the bolt I was working with, and screwed it in just for placement. I did one on one side, and the second one on the other, opposite side, and then the same for the other 2 bolts. Check Your Center! Tighten to 75 ft-lb. Tighten the heat shield. Hang your exhaust. Attach toys.

Here is my Draw-Tite 75709 installed It took about 2 hours by myself and figuring things out. The rubber hangers are a pain to remove, but I got it done. Very happy with the outcome. A detailed install guide to be posted soon.

I've never had a problem using the bike path or sidewalk.

I replaced the stereo in my Dad's 07 Sport Trac and it was pretty easy. By using Crutchfield as a guide, it looks like it is possible, and quite easy. Just remember you'll need to get an inline converter (Crutchfield sells them at a deal if you buy the head unit from them) if you plan on keeping the factory speakers. If you are going to upgrade the speakers, then you're fine.

I just removed my SEL and AWD. I'm pretty sure I'll keep the Edge badge on. "We don't need no stinkin' badges"

I'm not waiting for pics. Just in case you're wondering. So take your time, have a beverage!

I just ordered mine, I hope to get it next week. I'll be taking photos and documenting the install. When I was looking for hitches, I liked the Curt, I didn't like the hole I'd have to cut out. As for the extra drilling, that is also why I didn't get the cheaper Draw-Tite pro series, where you would have to drill 2 extra hole to accomodate the 6 bolts. I will not be towing, and just attaching a bike rack to the hitch, but you never know when you need to actually hook up a trailer, so I recon I better do it right the first time.

Nameplate for liftgate is <42528B:

Not on the Edge. I think there is a 50/50 chance we'll get them, but there's only a 20% chance of that happening.

I've been told copious amounts of goo gone

I'm going to do the same, but i really like Edge font, and the folks here told me that they are just stuck on. No pins, no bondo, no paint touch up.

I think you can just say "Play All"

Here is a possible replacement: http://www.ebay.com/itm/reverse-osmosis-system-spot-free-rinse-water-filter-water-purifier-car-wash-/170814686172?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c55943dc#ht_500wt_1180

I was checking my exhaust area because I too will be installing a hitch. And yes, there are 2 heat shields, one on each rail, on my single muffler 2012. I would be livid if they forgot to put them on mine.

My Mr. Clean auto dry just died a leaky death. It was a sad day, but I also had no more refills.

Good luck! I'm kinda of interested in this, but i think I would rather spend the $$$ elsewhere.
