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.

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.

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.!

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.!

New twin screw blowers are hitting efficiencies of 97-98%. But just wait for the ecoboost next year.

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! -

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. -

Nope, I have an 08 MKX now and ended up with another unit. -

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. -
Any one useinga K&N air filter
capnkirk52 replied to DEADEYE's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
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. -
is there anything we can do to get better gas milage
capnkirk52 replied to miran587's topic in Mods & Tech
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. -
Injectors warming up? My mustang does it too. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Fair enough. I have my tuner for my 07 Edge with a 91 octane tune for sale $300 shipped if you're interested. I saw about 2mpg increase with the tune and the power was very noticeable. Save yourself $100 bucks. -
SCT X3 POWER AND FLASH
capnkirk52 replied to xtremedge808's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
you have an AWD dyno or how did you arrive at those hp numbers? That has to be engine HP because there is no way they can put down 300 to the tire. -

What is the best mod you have done?
capnkirk52 replied to lawmanadam's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
SCT tuner is the best mod for the MKX hands down. -

I kind of agree with you, but that was hard to read dude. -
Cold ram air for the Edge
capnkirk52 replied to Stumpalump's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
We all know the concept. Just use something that looks good like a plastic of aluminum tube instead of dryer hose. Thats all we're saying. As far as a 10k or 18k mod like the diesels or a resistor on the MAF, why not just buy a tuner and then you can have full control of timing and fuel? I know its cheaper but the gain is going to be minimal compared to a tuner/custom tune. Just MHO.
