  1. Sounds weird but hold it under your chin while pushing the button (and hold it down for 2 or 3 seconds). Dunno why and it works with all remote start devices. I thought it was crazy when my friend told me about it. It works for me, it might work for you too. Try it out and report findings.
  2. Never driven one but have sat in one. I was basing my response on my best friend(die hard bowtie man) who is the service adviser at our local GM dealer.
  3. Sweet.. That rattle trap is 10 times worse than the edge.. Not to mention, there probably won't be a warranty coming from GM since they are going to go bankrupt soon.. Good Choice.!
  4. Seriously? You'll whine and complain but won't try to take one minute of your crazy busy day to open the hood and actually look at your car? or bend down to see if there is actually a leak or a puddle? Maybe I missed something because I didn't read the entire thread but take a little responsibility and maintain your vehicle. If you are so worried about making it to the BBB and back, do you really think you should be driving your kids anywhere in any vehicle?? Doesn't sound safe to me Call a taxi.!
  5. New twin screw blowers are hitting efficiencies of 97-98%. But just wait for the ecoboost next year.
  6. Cool. I haven't seen a N/A vehicle REQUIRE a tune and I wouldn't bet this is any different. Someone buy my tuner, get a drop in K & N and call it a day. It will be the best $150 or less you spend on your Edge!
  7. Yes. Mustang GT500's require a tune with a CAI upgrade because of the MAF. It might be the same on the Edge but I would just get a drop in K & N and a tune and call it a day.
  8. Nope, I have an 08 MKX now and ended up with another unit.
  9. Lex, I have a tuner from my 07 Edge with tunes from EVO. You could purchase my tuner and have it reset by steeda if they would be so kind. They might not want to do it because they won't sell a new unit. SCT XCAL3 p/n3000 for ford vehicles. Let me know, $75 shipped! Then you'll probably have to pay $100 for their tune. I doubt it's different than EVO's.
  10. I use a drop in on our MKX. Performance wise I'm not sure if I could tell a difference. Mileage wise I believe it helps based on just looking at the mileage WAG'd by the computer. Where I think it really help is $$$. You don't have to spend money on new paper filters every 5k miles so that makes it worth it right there. If you drive in an urban area you don't have to worry about getting any unwanted particles in your engine. We run ours on dirt roads all the time and have had no problems in 25k miles.
  11. fordchic---why would ford stop making the most popular crossover? There will be Edge/MKX in the future, can anyone say SVT EDGE? and fyi, a tune is worth 1-3mpg on these vehicles.
  12. I wouldn't have believed it either if I wasn't right there looking at the laptop with my service guy.
