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).

omar302 replied to bimmer848's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Try HIR1 or 9011. They will fit and are brighter. -

Might be a 2013 thing? My 2011 does not show anything except when the fogs are on. -
MKX and Edge Sport Halos
omar302 replied to whiteis33's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
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.

^^ What Dingo said. When headlights are set to auto, they will turn on when the wiper are activated. -
About to buy a 2011 Ford Edge Sport
omar302 replied to Akash Yadav's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
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!

My Ford Touch New Software Release
omar302 replied to tjbron's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
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. -

In my 2011 MKX, I remember the screens would be on, but they would have some kind a white "Flow" image, kind of like the screens are white near the speedometer and get gradualy darker on the oppisite sides. -
The center screen only. Console buttons remain on.
