My poor 2018 SEL got hit with sap in the worst way. I have used RainX bug and tar remover, let it dwell, and then washed it. I literally bathed my SEL in the stuff to get rid of the sap in short order.

I am wondering if anything has to be done to the PCM.

Hard pass due to the lack of a 2.7 TT V6. Only the 4 cyl is available.

I've already got a Valentine One and am considering a Valentine One Gen 2.

You'd be 100% correct. As everyone has said, it's as simple as plugging in a halogen bulb.

First thing you will want to remember is that once you start down this rabbit hole, you may not be able to stop easily. Second thing is that I have a 2018 SEL with Sync3 and, like your larger screen, mine controls a LOT of things. You may have to get something like these so you can retain the stock head unit and get more advanced audio functions: https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-processors-oem-integration What kind of speakers did you buy for your Edge? I am looking at these for mine: https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-speakers-c3/products/c3-650-car-audio-speakers-c3-convertible-systems-99022

Lastest with my Edge: Changed battery in wifey's key fob (That was the one which generated the message) Researched a louder horn and this a strong possibility: https://motohorn.com/trainhorn/ Researching a dashcam Bonus: Trading in my radar detector for a new one.

Getting that message with my 2018 these days. Going to change the battery tomorrow.

Forced Induction options are crossing my mind for the 3.5/3.7L. Second would be the upgrades for the transaxle to handle the HP and reduce torque steer.

What the dealer quoted me..... $700+ for the mirror and labor $300 to repaint the cap versus YouTube, Ebay, a friend of mine, and me $519 for the mirror $0 to transfer the existing cap to the new mirror (zero tabs broken)

Welcome to the crew.

Compared to the $700+ that the dealer was going to charge for the new mirror, I'll take it. BTW, I did get the swap taken care of easily. Even the mirror cap. Aside from that, I just put gas in it yesterday to the tune of $88.50 (Gas in AZ is VERY high these days).

Do you still have this grille?

Found one for $519, brand new.

2022 has not been kind to my 2018 Edge..... a) My wife got into a an accident in March and I had to put it in the Body Shop for a week. I had a Lexus NX as a rental but it really did not compare. b) I broke the passenger side mirror this past Saturday when backing out of my parking space. I checked with the dealership and, to fix it, it will cost me $1000 #neededadefibrillatorafterhearingthatprice I am scouring junkyards to find a matching replacement. I am also going to call my body shop to see how much it will cost for them to replace it. c) Still hunting for that ever-elusive Vignale grille.

Welcome to the group. Do you have the Ecoboost 4 or the 3.5L V6?

Not entirely true. My family had the following Fords: 1975 Mercury Monarch 1985 Mark VII LSC (Got shorted out from a lightning strike) 1987 Mark VII LSC 1991 Jaguar XJ6 1999 Navigator Prior to Edges and wifey's Escape, I had the following: 1977 Olds Cutlass 1986 S10 Blazer 4x4 1988 Caprice 1994 Maxima GXE 2002 Maxima SE Immediately prior to the 2008 Edge, wifey and I had her 2000 Dodge Neon which was surprisingly a decent car. It died on 1/31/2008 when we bought the 2008 Edge. Prior to the Escape, wifey had a 2013 300 and I got an expensive lesson ($3160) about that "stellar" Chrysler reliability. My 2002 Maxima SE was a riot because I would embarrass many V8 cars from a roll. My Edges have been just as much fun. This is my current 2018 SEL

Before marriage......0 (Mostly GM and 2 Nissans) After marriage.....3 2008 Ford Edge SE 2011 Ford Edge Limited 2018 Ford Edge SEL Wife-mobile..... 2020 Ford Escape SE Next: Edge ST

I am looking to do this on my 2018 SEL

Since my last post, I have done the following: A few night runs to Gila Bend to test my LEDs. - Got to see a coyote cross in front of me on I-8 A run to Casa Grande Still researching the Vignale Grille Got a quote on the tires and Giannelle Verdi rims Researching my audio upgrade options Researching an LED bar to place behind my lower grille Made a service appointment to get my camera fixed and a few other things
