I believ the added NAV will have a seperate speaker to speak out the directions, so whatever you had running on your MFT (Radio/CD/USB/SD/Phone) would continue to play through the vehicles speakers. You would even still be able to access the MFT through the cluster right screen.

That is not the original equipment navigation. But an add-on. So the voice commands won't work, you won't get directions on the instrument cluster right screen and no directions on the information quadrant of the main screen. It is a great solution compared to having no navigation at all, but is is NOT the factory NAV.

The mute button is faster, instant. It also used to pause whatever media that was running, CD/MP3 during the days of my Ford Taurus (aka FiveHundred).

Optics should be identical, I would think that they might have not been inserted correctly. I used to put the gasket ring from the 9006 bulb over the 9005 to make it sit better in the middle. 9005 is almost similar to the HIR1, 9006 is similar to the HIR2.

Try HIR1 or 9011. They will fit and are brighter.

Try HIR1 or 9011. They are supposed to be brighter but with shorter life.

As far as I know, the Edge already has HIR2 bulbs as standard equipment. So the sheild issue is already covered. But I think that the bulbs you purchased would be the same as those already installed, in other words, there wont be any improvement.

Might be a 2013 thing? My 2011 does not show anything except when the fogs are on.

Search for HIR (with an R) bulbs. They are much brighter & illuminate better. They are some times reffered to as 9011 & 9012.

You will lose sone functions only.

Is there a source were I can get one for the 2011 MKX?

^^ What Dingo said. When headlights are set to auto, they will turn on when the wiper are activated.

Yes. Only the front portion opens, the back is fixed.

Timing chains should last the life of the vehicle. Never heard or read about timing chains needing regular replacements.

Simple solution? Colors! Each tire stem can have a colored ring & thus the vehicle can indicate tire pressures by color which would be programmed only once! But there is aleady a solution in variuos other cars, a simple re-learn procedure that can be repeated each time tires are rotated, that starts with the Front Left tire, then Front Right, Rear Right & last Rear Left. Hech even Fords have that re-learn procedure, and with the same tire order, but Ford just doesn't make use of the added info of knowing which tire is which! I geuss they left out the added info to avoid extra complaints, customers would start complaining why is the pressure not accurate? Why don't I get reading while the vehicle is stationary, why is the pressure reading different compared my X-brand tire pressure gauge & so on!.

So called "Direct" TPMS have Sensors in each tire that would wirelessly send data to the vehicle with information. Some vehicle have "Receivers" at each wheel well to collect the data, in which it is simple for the vehicle's PCM to know which wheel it is. Other vehicles (Fords included) receive the wireless Data from all four (4) sensors through one receiver (usually the same receiver of the Keyless remote), hence the vehicle needs to learn which sensor is for which tire & in case of tire rotations, it should be re-learned. Apparently, Ford chose the easy way by just complying to minimum law requirement of providing just a "Warning Light", which is better than nothing, but could have easily been turned to a much more useful feature by means of clever engineering without added equipment cost!

I also remeber that there were several zoom levels. Furthermore, earlier, there was also a cancel button when you shifted to Drive (if you had the Rear Camera Delay feature on), now they removed it.

Someone who didn't receive the update e-mailed support and got a reply: As for your case, having Navigation, you can go to your dealer to perform the update & get your SD card from them.

Have you ever changed the Cabin Air Filter? Its behind the Golve box, it might cause the fan to work harder if it is blocked. Just a thaught.

The 3.5 MFT/MLT is now available at SyncMyRide:

I previuosly updated to V3.5.1 using the TSB, now on www.SyncMyRide.com, the update history shows new text undert he Description of the update, whats new is that it now shows what kind of improvements came with the 3.5.1 update: Return of the outside air temperature to the 8-inch display Updated phone pairing process Enhanced voice and screen destination entry for SD Card Navigation (if equipped) Simplified voice commands for music Enhancements to voice recognition Updated SYNC/device compatibility information SyncMyRide is planning a shutdown in the coming 2 hours, maybe the update is planned for thoses who did not update through the TSB yet.

^^^ What he said, in addition, the Perimeter Alarm will sound your horns & flash the lights if any door, liftgate or hood is opened without unlocking the vehicle using the IA (Intelligent Access) fob or the keypad.

This shows where the new "Off" setting is located:

Here's a pic of how it looks in my MKX:
