  1. Check this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/9097-2012-ford-edge-sport-single-exhaust/ I don't think anyone has solid information if there is actually true benefit to the true dual setup compared to the other. nor even a sound/noise comparison.
  2. Media experience (ls973800,), they are the same. The 2013 addded a sport mode to the transmission. That gives more aggressive shifting, though both have steering wheel mounted paddles. Also the 2013 has a physical button for the hazard flashers, while 201102012 have a capacitive button. In 2012, the side view mirrors became smaller with a option for led turn signal lights. Some early 2011 builds had true dual exhaust, while later they changed to fake (dubbed quasi dual) exhaust.
  3. For factory auto windows, you need a different window motor. The MKX already has passenger auto up/down window. So it might be possible to use the switch & motor from the MKX.
  4. Yes. You are right. But that's how it is written in the owners manual.
  5. By the way, the Booster is covered by an extended warranty, 10-years or 150K miles. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13888-13n02-extended-warranty-coverage-on-brake-booster/?do=findComment&comment=107538
  6. If you don't have the color changing lighting, then you don't have ambient lighting. It's either both or none,they are a set.
  7. What WWWPerfA_ZN0W said. It might be the brake booster not holding vacuum due to a leak. But if it's after 2 days, you should be fine. When my booster was failing, the hard pedal came after 2-3 hours of turning off the car and kept decreasing until the hard pedal came even while driving. Replaced under warranty.
  8. Ok, it seems 3.7 Mustang owners (same engine) had the same dilemma, regarding premium fuel and increased performance. Even though the owners manual stated the increased performance for the 5.0 engine and not the 3.7, they apparently found out that the 3.7 does actually benefit from premium fuel. http://m.themustangsource.com/showthread.php?t=487261&styleid=28
  9. I think the "91 octane" recommendation refers to the 2.0 engine. From the 13' owners manual: Octane Recommendations 3.5L/3.7LV6 engines Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is recommended. Somestations offer fuels posted as Regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not recommended. 2.0LV6EcoBoost®engine Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is recommended. Some stations offer fuels posted as Regular withan octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not recommended. Premium fuel will provide improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage such as trailer tow.
  10. Where & for how much did you get them? Also, how is the road illumination? any difference, worse/better?
  11. The factory (called Perimeter Alarm by Ford) , if equipped, does NOT have a shock sensor. But the Ford Accessory security Alarm, that works with the factory Fobs, does have the shock sensor. The factory alarm will only sound if a Door, the lift gate or the hood is opened without using the fob or keypad. It will Not detect glass breaking or protect against entry through a window if the door was not opened. If anyone knows how to a shock or glass breakage sensor to the factory alarm, please tell us, would be very helpful.
  12. Well, you can also upgrade to the 2-way extended range remote start that is available as a Ford Accessory.
  13. Modern Ford vehicles will not disable the alarms unless the remote unlock button is pressed or a correct programmed key is used to turn on the ignition. So even he unlocks your door with a correct cut key, the alarm will still off in about 12 seconds unless they use the remote unlock button or turn on the ignition using a correct programmed key.
  14. The power outlet located on the passenger side of the console? Just a thought, the MKX already has a light for the glovebox, so maybe there is already wiring for it in the Edge?
  15. Even if the key opens the door, the alarm will still go off & engine will not start unless the key is programmed to the ignition.
  16. If you check E-Bay, it seems that window regulators are all compatible for the Edge & MKX for all years 2007 through 2013. See this listing for example for a Motorcraft one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281307012721
  17. Check this thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=402395 Although it seems to be for 2011 models.
  18. Got some more info here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=402395
  19. From the Edge Source Book: • Thick windshield with acoustic-laminate is standard on all Edge models. • Acoustic front side glass standard on Limited and Sport models.
  20. We see 120F on a usual basis in Summer!! Believe me, it is sometime so hot, that some people, especially those who have to work outdoors, wear long sleeves & cover their faces because of the hot air.
  21. Nicole, The APIM has an extended warranty, 5 years total from original purchase date regardless of mileage. So if the APIM needs replacement, it should be done without any charges. As for the battery, if you think the old one was still ok, put it back & try to return/sell the new one. Good luck.
  22. I don't think we heard about letters for the Throttle body yet, can you please provide more details about the content or program number?
  23. OP said he lost a key, the procedure in the owner's manual works only if he had both keys on hand. So since you only have 1 operational key/Fob, you will have to do it at a dealer or a locksmith who has the correct equipment. Suggestion: Ask the dealer/Locksmith to delete the lost key, so that it won't work unless reprogrammed again, this is to ensure unauthorized entry by anyone who might find the key.
  24. I remember it is white Lithium grease, but I don't remember where I got that info.
