If you're ever in Michigan, the Ford Rouge Factory Tour may interest you. Good luck!

Videos of Oakville Assembly are here, here, here, and here. The risk in spending too much time in an assembly plant is you begin to see your vehicle as a commodity. Good luck!

P.A. might enjoy the attached educational resource -- It has lots of pictures. Good luck! MyFord-MyLincoln Touch Technology Information Book.pdf

Sorry for inducing your spit-take, candurin, I presumed Dingo was just slipping on his capitalization. Adaptive HID puddle lamps would be a better solution than the cornering lights of my past-owned Grand Marquis. Given the inventiveness of this community, someone here is probably already working it. Good luck!

I found the Mercury lights, now all we need are the Mercury switches. Good luck!

The center distance between the posts for the front & rear headrests are not identical, so no, they will not fit. Good luck!

Louder: Yours is an entertaining story. Also, those are impressive two-wheeler pics you posted. Please make sure you weigh in on other users' threads. Good luck!

Kate13: From a cold start in below-freezing temperatures, my full AUTO Climate setting will have the fan begin blowing at full speed to heat the interior after I have driven about one mile. Per the attached photo, it is possible to set the air distribution path using the TOUCH screen while leaving the fan speed automatically determined by the differential between the desired temperature and the actual temperature. Many users here are frustrated that our non-AUTO Climate system settings do not endure the next time we start-up our vehicles, something we hope Ford might address in the next SYNC/TOUCH software update. Good luck!

Congratulations on your Edge purchase! You can find lots of photos from forum users here. You may also enjoy reading the 2013 Edge Source Book attached to this post. Good luck!

Thanks for this enjoyable post by a compassionate caregiver. Good luck!

jstaubin: It'd be worth your while to let LMBray09 do your negotiating for you! Good luck!

MattyP: We all must've overlooked those significant details in your two initial posts. If I were the dealer, I'd refuse to process your deal as A-Plan. You're both putting your A-Plan privileges at risk; You (or your Ford-employee relative) by requiring the dealer to effectively give you a $495.00 gift -- and them, the dealership, by fulfilling your request. I expect both you and the dealer signed the attached form, right? If the right people in Dearborn are reading this thread, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to locate your purchase transaction. Good luck! AXZD-Plan Pricing Agreement.pdf

Tacyon: You're right -- It's not an absolute match, but it's closer than I expected. It might look better if I could tilt the font a bit more outward from the door at the top and apply kerning to adjust the letter-to-letter spacing, however, my graphics program isn't that full featured. Good luck!

Mark94: From Invision's FAQ web page... Can I listen to the sound of my DVD through the car stereo speakers? Yes. Power up your system and place a disc in monitor "A" (headrest system) or in the only loader (Overhead/Center Console System). While pointing your remote at the monitor press the "DVD A" button directly under the red "POWER" button on your remote control. Next press the "Sound Around ON/OFF" button to turn on or off FM modulation as desired. Three buttons to right is the "Sound Around SELECT" button which will scroll through 6 possible stations for broadcasting speaker sound. Once selecting a station you must then tune your stereo to the corresponding frequency. If you need additional guidance, you may want to pose your questions using Invision's Contact Us web page. On another discussion site, a user said he used that web page and Invision's support rep responded promptly via telephone with an answer. Good luck!

LMBray09: The price you paid appears to be below what a Ford employee would normally pay for that same vehicle. Congratulations and thank you for the sacrifice you make on behalf of your husband's service to our country. Good luck!

I once moved to Michigan and had to navigate through their new-resident process. I prefer avoiding surprises by doing a bit of advanced research. If I moved to Canada, I wouldn't immediately know how to process a US vehicle, which it turns out, is similarly complex. Good luck!

TPMS is a standard safety feature on all Edges, except in the spare tire. Good luck!

How about this thread. Good luck!

That looks similar to Arial Rounded MT Bold. Good luck!

MattieP: I can understand your frustration and anger over the situation that developed at the dealership, especially since this is your first vehicle-buying experience in the USA. It's true that earlier in the process, someone should have observed your Canadian license plates and/or your Canadian driver's license, and especially someone should have noticed the Canadian title document your provided for your trade-in when you were finalizing your purchase. If you walk away from the deal now and/or keep your trade-in, you'll still have to fulfill all of Michigan's new resident requirements and manage the conversion of your Canadian-titled (& maybe not-manufactured-for-USA-sale) vehicle into being Michigan-titled & USA-saleable. And you'll be navigating that process alone, probably making several visits to the Michigan Secretary of State's office and/or other Federal regulatory sites. If you have the time & you enjoy the thrill of a (paper-chase) hunt, maybe that route is for you. Remembering that your purchase is an A-Plan deal, the dealer cannot give you anything extra in excess of $50 at his cost (I found that in the A-Plan rules). Maybe they'll cover that portion of the importation-documentation cost. You could let the dealer do all the work because you will have to pay one way or the other for that conversion process. Or, you could sell the vehicle in Canada if you have a friend or family member north of the border to manage that process on your behalf using a Power of Attorney document. Good luck! By the way, here's what the dealer (and/or perhaps you) must be concerned with under Michigan law: Section 3-23 CANADIAN OR OTHER IMPORTED VEHICLES 3.23.1 Authority. Federal law requires all vehicles entering the United States from another country for resale to be imported through a registered importer. A registered importer is a business authorized by the federal Department of Transportation to handle the legalities of importing vehicles into the United States. On behalf of the vehicle owner, the registered importer ensures the vehicle has proper ownership documents and meets all EPA and DOT standards. The importer also inspects the VIN, converts the odometer from kilometers to miles, and ensures custom duties are paid, if applicable. 3.23.2 Requirement. When vehicles are imported into the U.S. from other countries, including Canada, additional documents must be presented to the Secretary of State branch office with the application for title. Failure to provide proper documentation may result in the branch office rejecting the application. a) Foreign ownership document. The foreign ownership document must be properly assigned to the buyer, and must include the following information: 1) The date of purchase; 2) The odometer reading in kilometers when sold to the Michigan dealer; 3) The names and addresses of both the seller and the buyer. U.S. Customs Form 7501. This form is required by U.S. Customs for all vehicles entering the United States. The form verifies the vehicle entered the U.S. properly, identifies the port of entry, and declares whether duty is due. It must be stamped by the U.S. Customs office at the port of entry, which verifies they processed the form. Forms submitted to the Secretary of State without this stamp will be denied. c) Vehicle Number and On-Road Equipment Inspection Form (TR-54). The Department will only title vehicles that are imported for resale by a Michigan dealer, or for private use by Michigan citizens. Customs Form 7501 indicates the port through which the vehicle entered the United States. Michigan port codes begin with the number 38 (e.g., 3801 is Detroit and 3802 is Port Huron). If the port code does not begin with 38, form TR-54 must be completed by a Michigan law enforcement officer to verify the vehicle is physically located in Michigan. It must be submitted to the Secretary of State branch office with the application for resale title. d) U.S. Department of Transportation Forms. To certify compliance with Federal motor vehicle standards, the following forms are submitted to the Secretary of State branch office: 1) HS Form 7, completed by the registered importer; 2) A statement of compliance or a waiver from the US DOT. e) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Forms. To certify compliance with Federal environmental standards, the following forms are submitted to the Secretary of State branch office: 1) Form 3520-1, completed by the registered importer; 2) A statement of compliance or a waiver from the EPA. NOTE: DOT and EPA forms are required only when importing “grey market” vehicles that were not manufactured to meet U.S. import standards. f) Odometer Conversion Paperwork: The registered importer converts the vehicle’s odometer from kilometers to miles, and provides the buyer with an affidavit to describe the odometer conversion. This affidavit will be necessary when titling the vehicle.

MattyP: Congratulations on your impending new vehicle purchase. Based on what you describe, it sounds like you didn't immediately tell the dealer you were A-Plan eligible. Under A-Plan rules, the dealer cannot provide you anything that he would not provide anyone else walking in off the street. If the dealer gives every customer a free oil change through Owner Advantage Rewards, then you as an A-Plan customer are entitled to that same free oil change. A-Plan rules ensure a level playing field for all dealers and consistent treatment for all A-Plan customers. Also under A-Plan rules, the dealer must show you the invoice for the vehicle you are interested in purchasing. This allows you to view the A-Plan price in writing on the invoice. As an example, another user on this site posted this invoice, which clearly shows the boxed-in A/Z-Plan price in the bottom line. You can review A-Plan rules, search dealer stock & view A-Plan prices for searched vehicles on the AXZ Plan website, where you also obtain your A-Plan PIN that you provide to the dealer for your purchase. You will need your CDSID & password to log-in to this website. Any special A-Plan incentives should also be viewable through the AXZ Plan website. Good luck!

I also purchased an ESP contract (7-year, 125k miles, zero deductable PremiumCare with 1st-day & upgraded rental coverage) for my MKX from Anderson & Koch after I checked prices on the Ziegler and Flood websites. These various dealers receive extra ESP sales incentives from Ford for selling ESP contracts in excess of their "normal" ESP sales target, which is set by Ford. Those extra ESP sales incentives from Ford enable these (and other) Internet dealers to offer national-market ESP pricing that your local dealer probably cannot match. My local dealer said he didn't sell enough ESP contracts to be able to match Anderson & Koch's pricing. I submitted my ESP order via Anderson & Koch's website on a Friday evening and my completed ESP contract was mailed to me on the following Tuesday. Anderson & Koch provided me an ESP brochure and my ESP contract, examples of which are attached below. Good luck! Ford ESP PremiumCare Brochure.pdf Ford ESP - Sample Contract.pdf

ELation: I have experienced the cold air blowing in my face only after making a downward setting in the AUTO Climate temperature setting and the Climate system then tries to cool down the already-warmed interior of my MKX. During winter, like you, I prefer to have warmed air directed at my feet, which I achieve my using the TOUCH Climate screen to manually set the air distribution path downward, leaving only the fan speed on Auto. You may wish to assess the full range of manual Climate settings using the TOUCH screen. You may want verify that all the air distribution paths are fuctional by manually selecting each path. You may also want to manually adjust the temperature settings upward & downward while on full AUTO to verify operation of the air mixer door. But, if your system consistently takes 30 minutes to deliver heat, sounds like a visit to your dealer is likely -- if you haven't gone there already. Good luck!
