The MKX has only a few features more than an Edge. The aforementioned cooled seats, adaptive HID headlights, THX and the leather covered dash. The main advantage of the MKX over the Edge is you can get it loaded with the 3.7L Engine. As for MFT, the reason for its shortcomings, in my opinion, are from Ford's management. To be honest, you would expect that Ford would have its people use the vehicles the final design is sold to consumer, but it just does show. I mean who ever approved the capacitive 4-way flasher button?? Also, how come is the MFT/MLT screen a resistive display, requiring pressure to register inputs while the buttons below it are capacitive working while barely touching them!! I consider myself up to date on tech and sometimes find using those capacitive buttons awkward, especially the volume/fan sliders (supposedly Lincoln upgrades!). Back to topic, I rented a 2011 GC back in 2011 (when the latest generation first debuted) before I got the MKX, and honestly, it did NOT feel premium at all! It was ok, but not great (though it was just above the basic model) & the v6 engine with the old 5 speed was slow. Since I really don't go off-road, there was no reason to choose a GC over an Edge/MKX.

What phone do you have, was it updated recently? If its an Android & you usually keep Bluetooth on all the time, like I do, usually turning Bluetooth off then on cures it. If that doesn't work, try re-pairing the phone. Make sure to un-pair Sync from your phone, and delete your phone from Sync. Then Pair them. If that still doesn't fix it, try restarting Sync (pull fuse/connector, reboot app or disconnect battery), finally you can Master Reset Sync.

Physically, it should fit. But you will probably need to do the wiring for the signal LEDs, My 2011 (May'11 production) does NOT have the wiring for it & wouldn't expect any 2011 modle to have them.

Factory size is 245/60R18, with a 60 not 65 aspect ratio. That's for the 18" wheel size.

Remember, when a part is replaced, you get a 12month/12k miles warranty on it. So even if the bumper to bumper warranty expired you might still be covered for the latch.

Bahrain & other GCC countries are considered severe. Mainly because of the hotter weather & severe city cycle driver. Too much stop & go and it is normal to drive high speeds for short distances. A typical 10-15 minute commute can easily envolve many 0-62 mph accelerations. Ford's oil life monitor can get you 10k miles (16k km), so the recommended severe interval is recommended at half the distance, 5k miles (8k km). Hot weather means it is quite normal to see 120 ℉ in the summer, and our very cold winter is not less than 50℉.

More Money!!! That why! They are STEALERSHIPS!!! The Middle East owners manual specifically mentions 8k.

If I only cared for the factory warranty, I would only do the bare minimum as the manual, which I usually do.

Yes, like what ls973800 said, he has an extended warranty with additional terms & conditions. Unfortunately, here in the Arabian Gulf Countries (GCC) labor is cheap, but dealers are even bigger stealers than those in the USA having to do so called "Full Service" maintenance on new vehicles (usually oil+filter+inspections) at higher rates (100+ USD) and at more frequent intervals!

The reason for one replacement, I believe, is that there was a certain batch (rather a large one) that had this defect. I would expect the replacements to be of newer batches such as those installed in newer Edges/MKX not included in the extended warranty. In any case, my understanding, if the original warranty is still valid, it would be replaced under it & you still have the extended warranty. Also, when the new part is installed, it still has a standard (12 month/12K mile) if the original B2B warranty is expired.

Speaker count is not what we were used to, see here the 14 speaker THX II system in the MKX: http://www.thx.com/files/2009/12/thx-mkx-overhead-black.jpg More details: http://www.thx.com/consumer/automotive/2011-lincoln-mkx/

The spare does not have a sensor.

You need to drive for a while before it goes.a few miles. From the owners manual of a 2011: After inflating your tires to the manufacturers recommended inflation pressure as shown on the Tire Label (located on the edge of drivers door or the B-Pillar), the vehicle must be driven for at least two minutes over 20mph (32km/h) before the light will turn off.

Well, then maybe they just changed it! it was a nice startup screen. Thanks teknowiz.

What Sync version you got? Did you update it or dealer? I am absolutely sure before the 3.6.2 it did show on my car.

Do you have THX? If yes, does the animation show when starting the car?

You can get a used one off eBay, just make sure it has the same FCC number & the same buttons as yours. Since you already have 2 working fobs, you can easily program it yourself following the procedure in the owners manual. As for the emergency key, if really need one, you can get a new uncut one also from eBay and cut just like any normal key. Note: when I got a used remote & key for my MKX, the key profile was bigger than my key, so simply cutting it again made it work for me. So you might also be lucky. Or you can find a used fob with an uncut key also on eBay.

That 8K or 4 months is part of Al-Jazeera's extended warranty, the 5 years/200k. The original Ford Factory warranty is 3 years/60K bumper to bumper & 5-years/100K for the driveline. Aljazeera provides the additional coverage as insurance policy, so you will have to abide by their terms, unfortunately. Here in Qatar, they still do the service every 5000 km. But since my MKX has premium care (from the factory for all Middle East Lincolns), they do the free service every 8000km or 6 months, as per Ford's terms.

The recommended service by Ford in Middle East is 8K or 6 months (not 4 months). You can reset the oil life monitor to 50% & it will remind you at 8K or 6 months. You don't have to do the service as per Dealer's "Full Service" crap. Just tell them you need the Oil + Filter & multipoint inspection. Show them your owners manual & tell them you only need the items mentioned. (Don't forget the PTU oil every 15 or 30K, won't expect your dealer to remember) For RDS, I got the same reply, they will check. They once tried something, but still doesn't work! Still waiting for any other solution. Wipers, I bought TRICO Teflon Shields for their looks, but the are also very good even after nearly 1 year (still better than new stock!). Headlights: HID! Roof seals, I think you need to lubricate them with silicone spray, I am still looking for it here in Qatar.

Any MKX owners who can advise?

Hey Arabski, since your in Bahrain with a 2013 Edge, as per this, your Edge should have a drain plug to change the PTU oil every 15,000 or 30,000 Km. Take care.

After clicking on the picture, I remember it would then be saved to MFT. You then should select it from the list of available wallpapers to save it as your wallpaper.

Since the 3.02 (performance) upgrade, the resolution changed to 800x384. But older pics should still work. Try a different USB drive.

I don't know if the Edge was or is offered in right hand drive.

Ford's accessories website lists 2 different Bi-Directional remotes for the 2011+ Edge: For the Edge with "Pushbutton Start": Remote Start System - 200 Series Plug-N-Play, P/N: BB5Z-19G364-C For others: Remote Start System - Bi-Directional Plug-N-Play, P/N: BT4Z-19G364-A
