  1. Not sure how you managed to get ambient lighting in an SEL. It is not an option (from the factory) in the SEL model. We just got our 2013 SEL V6 and we placed a factory order, Ambient Lighting was not an option to include on the SEL list. Wish we had it so I could entertain the kids...
  2. Rear headrests do not tilt back and forth on the 13's. We removed the rear headrests on both sides and then flipped down the center with the center rest to sit between both kids (center, rear rest can't be removed and is stationary).
  3. I'm a fan of as little badging as possible. Just my opinion... so I say no.
  4. Never mind. I searched online and I was finding various posts that you couldn't play the audio through the stereo and my blood pressure was starting to raise... Found a Flex forum stating there should be Media button and then a Rear DVD button so I went out to take a look. Couldn't find any of these buttons in the Entertainment section of MFT but started playing with the radio to see if there was a frequency. Had a DVD playing and started scanning stations. Finally came a frequency that played the audio from the DVD. Happy! Only thing I'm left wondering is that since this is an FM frequency, if we take a road trip and go out of this frequency's range or an area that has music playing on this frequency, we'll have to find a new frequency to play the audio through, correct? Will there always be an open audio frequency no matter where we travel?
  5. We've been trying to figure out how to play the audio through the stereo and we can't figure it out. We were under the assumption this is possible and I don't want my kids wearing the headphones for audio. My kids are 5 and 2 and their heads are small. The large headphones do not stay on their heads and plus I don't want them in control of the volume... Putting a 2 year old in charge of volume... potential for blown eardrums. If I can't control audio through the stereo for these factory installed options, I'll be pissed. My wife is already upset that she can't figure it out. I hope there is good news out there... Thanks!

  6. As long as both sets of tires have TPMS mounted inside, all you need to do when you switch out the wheels is sync the sensors to the car. Just need to get the car to recognize the new sensors.
  7. Great Price! Best of luck with it. My wife is enjoying hers. Mark
  8. Thanks man. Most of the time, I'm entertained by your posts. Appreciate the help with this. Worked just like it does when I use my soapy water solution for clear bra film or window tint but if you tell me the shampoo evaporates compared to dish detergent, I'll take your word for it. Mark
  9. Did this today. Prepped by clay baring first then i gave a couple good scrubs with alcohol. Used shampoo like dingo recommended and completely soaked the area with the soapy solution, peeled the backer and placed the protector on the bumper. I was able to slide it exactly where it needed to go and then used a squeegee to push out all the water. Looks great and wife likes it too. I didn't even notice that the tiny pattern is actually the word "EDGE" over and over again. I'm happy with it and not a bubble anywhere.
  10. If it,s not too much trouble, can I ask if someone can take a picture of the 2 cup holder mats? We picked up our edge last week and it looks like the 2 cup holders differ in size. I found one rubber cup holder insert floating in the center console for the larger holder but I didn't find another. I just thought since the 2nd holder is smaller, it didn't require a rubber insert. After reading this, I'm thinking we're missing one. Thanks for any help! Mark
  11. Cool, thanks so much for the advice Rich! Next time I'll just do 2 coats of 845 and be done with it. Mark
  12. Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a shot this weekend and let you know how I make out with your solution
  13. Any specific type/brand, or can I use my kid's strawberry scented princess shampoo?
  14. Yeah it is thin but it will provide some protection. It's the wife's car and I'm not too concerned with heavy items because I lift those types of things. She's just doing groceries and the kid's stuff so I'm not that concerned with that tiny edge either. Don't have dogs to jump in and out of the trunk area. Baby shampoo... Huh. Never heard of that. I've got some kids shampoo but not a Johnson and Johnson no tear shampoo. I've applied xpel clear film on some if my other cars and I've always used diluted soapy water to get it situated and then started squeegeeing. May just stick with that mixture to get this bumper protector on.
  15. Hi all, Just received this part and it's pretty thin. Instructions just say apply it like a sticker and then squeeze out trapped air bubbles from underneath. I'm thinking this won't produce a nice result and I'll have a lot of ugly trapped air underneath. Has anyone done this and what was your process? I'm thinking I should apply like window tint and use a soapy water solution, get it exactly where it needs to be and then squeeze out the water from underneath. Hoepfully someone has installed this and can provide a little help. Thanks! Mark
