Just what I was looking for thanks WWWPerfA_ZN0W, 2Close your install looks good, I just bought a 20" LED Bar that I am trying to find a good way of installing it on the lower front grill. But there isn't much in that area to really mount the brackets. I am going to install the bar behind the grill so it doesn't get stolen easily, the bar output is 250WATTS 1500Lums Super Bright and not to be used at all times, I live in Miami, but on the out skirts closer to the everglades, I see a lot of Jeeps and F150+ with them mounted in different configurations. So I bought mine for 2 reasons, (A. to use as a super fog beam. B. To turn on when someone with a super led bar in on coming with their bar turned on, blinding me. you can call it light wars lol) I already made the wiring harness and switch placement, I just can't find a way to mount it yet. how did you grab it to your edge? Did you use mounts or rigged it to the frame? My bar has some good weight to it.... depiction of where I want to place it thanks NX

What's up Forum guru's! Been enjoying my Edge sport!!! I already did the BrightLite HID and front markers' mod kid, great product. But now I am trying to add a 20 " Super Bright 250watt/1500lums LED Bar to the front of the Edge, I am thinking of placing it behind to the lower front grill under the front tag plate, but noticed that the grill is not removable as in one section. The whole front bumper has to be removed, but then I noticed that there really isn't any frame or mounting points in that area also. Just checking to see if any one here might have a suggestion or has seen someone else try what I am doing. I have attached pictures so my idea is better understood. any pointers would be great. Thanks and Be Well. The LED Bar is going to be on a switch, not to be used at all times, FYI

All I have is the Purchase contract printout. I have never recieved any documentation via mail regarding the ESP warrenty packet. main concern is about the rear camera that was defected at purchase, and the ESP claims its covered thanks for the feed back. Be well

Yes indeed, a lesson learned - Here is the breakdown on my contract CPO Premium ESP $1680.00 Basic Maintenace Plan - $695.00 Safe Guard Tire and Wheel - $349.00 Dent Guard Protect - $349.00 A total just for maintaince features: $3073.00 And they are telling me I have to pay for oil change? WTF to the max! lol thanks for the reply

What's up all!! About this Topic, my Edge is due for its 80,000 service, I purchased the Top of the line ESP Premium Packaged 100,000 or 3 years/ I was told it covers a bunch of items, more then a bumper to bumper plan/ I also bought the tire package and dent protection. I was impresssed, Today I called to make an appointment and also to ask about my ESP coverage since I never recieved any documentation about the ESP or other coverage I payed for. When I bought the truck I noted to the sales man that the rear camera is blurry, the allighment was pulling to the right and the passenger seat had issues. He said, don't worry, after you make your first payments, you can bring the truck in and they will fix the issues under the ESP. No problem. So when I talked to the service agent on the phone I explained the issues at the time of purchace and he said we won't cover the allighment you havve to pay; and as far as the rear camera issue, that might no be covered. I told him to call my sales man to verify, and he replied...... oh I would have to fill out a form and send it to corp and wait for them to reply... WTF/ I am confused on this ESP crap I payed $2600 for....... https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ij9seduuxxhpbz/2015%20PremiumCARE%20Brochure.pdf?dl=0

Just ordered the DRL's and HID upgrade 6k cant wait ti get them . stoke.

Not at all, the insurance company told me it could of taken a few months to close the claim, However, its not an expensive unit, it cost about $400. its called a MOB4. I beta test for various CCTV companies and help improve their products. Plus Miami is a crazy place with high crime. it was more for security

Man by the time I get home after working on computer scripts and coding on my 8 monitor multi-task server and come one here late at night to replay, it just all looks like binary LOL yea. I might of miss-posted under the wrong thread. In my delusional state of mind from staring at multi-GUI's a for 12 hours my bad, I will delete WiZ

I agree. I tried to hook up a 500 GB hard drive to the USB port and it didn't recognized it... I even tried it on the to head mount screens... fail. But I notice that the XM/Siris does record live broadcast, so I wonder where it gets stored.

Just wonder if its worth adding a Tran cooler? Or if its even possible. I don't know if there are capped off hose's for it. Any replies would be appreciated.

Yea it looks like an easy project to swap it out. but did you replace it with an OEM (Factory) camera? Usually the grid lines are just an overlay image; does your assist sensors work at least? If you installed an OEM camera I would try to run the sync update again, it might reset the grid and it should appear. I deal with CCTV cameras and they now come with the grid feature, and to activate it or disable it, there is a wire on the camera that you cut since the grid in not in the camera software. But I will ask the dealer when they fix mine and pass along what they say. thanks Eddie Miami

I do custom CCTV systems for high end clients. The FLIR CCTV cameras are now in the public market and price is dropping fast thanks to china. you can get a HEAT BLACK WHITE CAM for about 1200$ now http://www.cctvoutlet.com/Cameras/Bullet_Cameras/Outdoor_Bullet_Cameras/thermal-imaging-camera-perimeter-surveillance-TM3.html SPEC SHEET http://www.cctvoutlet.com/SPEC%20SHEETS/SPECTIC-TM3-052413.pdf

This is why http://youtu.be/f_y6rDRXaBs I live in Miami, people here do NOT know how to drive. I guess K-Mart had a blue light special on drivers licences Miami is a melting pot of non-us residents and increasing. The accident in the above video would of been a my word against her word battle lasting months to close the claim since it was a total loss. The lady had the same insurance provider I did and she told them that it was my fault, I was speeding. So when I sent in the video capture. It contradicted everything she said happened and the claim was resolved in a matter of days. Since i have a solar panel, the DVR recorded 24/7 with ability to remote log in to watch my car in bad areas. Besides all that, it has proven cops wrong when pulled over for so called speeding, and I have captured some crazy DUI's with it. I work in downtown Miami a block away from a very very bad HOOD. better safe then sorry. And the FLIR, well that's just good to have when driving in the everglades or if parked somewhere blacked out getting my groove on lol But yes, the dvr is just one RCA output for the 4 screens. I wish there was an easier way of bypassing the safety on the edge. Here a DUI http://youtu.be/EpgIAC3k2LM?t=1m2s Here is the FULL GUI DISPLAY with Telemetry http://youtu.be/yQc8MykYcPA thanks for your input in this thread. I have much to think about now.. ... lol

http://youtu.be/JZFMiIiAGPA SO U HAVE AM IDEA http://youtu.be/GG5N24cMPFM

Well guys, here is my reason for considering it; you will agree. I have this Mobile DVR Unit that has 4 Video cameras that record, broadcast, and logs all telemetry. I can log into car remotely from anywhere, it has two way audio and real-time video feed along with remote triggers, using 4G cell. Now to integrate this as I had it in my previous cars. The unit has a monitor output that I would connect to my Av input on my head unit. This displays all 4 cameras record while driving and the front bumper FLIR camera can be displayed on the head unit for up to 1 mile of heat signature. This the reason I ask about this. Now I don't like what has been said about how it may cause issues with some navigation features. I am looking for something to disable the lockout. back in the day it was easy as grounding the hand break or tricking the VSS. any ideas? thanks

Its on my to-do list. the car is running just fine. I don't want to remove it and them all goes to HELL lol it's a 15 amp fuse so. maybe went to a rely or powered ACC to the tacking device, maybe the kill wire. Thank you all for you're input/ appreciated as always! FORD AND LINCOLN FAM /

My first prototypes of CCTV telemetry integration with a pioneer avic head unit http://youtu.be/VipWu1NFkZE http://youtu.be/2FltB17j71s http://youtu.be/keYPRMDV1XA Homestead speedway http://youtu.be/cnz7llnm6Ws South Beach Miami Sunset http://youtu.be/80T5CtCERV8 Homestead race track tailing a Z Corvette Now I mod Drones http://youtu.be/ZRm87bNtaw8?list=UUP3m6oSy5ARPRBEUrFTzomw and fly them from moving cars lol you can never stop being creative.

Funny thing Wiz, I am concert and club lighting specialist and tech. The industry has come from incandescent lamps to now a more LED lighting systems, RGB/W and the LED display boards. So I am familiar with the technologies and if you don't buy in batch lot quantities, the chances of lets say you once ordered RED diodes and a few months your order the same RED diodes. chances are they are NOT going to be the same RED in wavelength , this is the problem with buying china made semiconductors, since they make soo many they can't keep a uniform color tone as far as frequency goes. But on the topic on hand, I agree with the 10000K 55w as I had in my audi, not too much blue and unlike these Pickup trucks guys that put HID's in seal beam housing just blasting the light on to oncoming traffic, our cars are focal beams so we get a sharp and efficient dispersion of the light output. The only issue I did have with the Audi, since they use cheap ABS plastic reflectors and lens, the HID's will melt the reflector and cause the plastic lens to become yellowish as if they were being burned. I hope the Edge headlamp is made with a better composite compound .... You really seem to know a good deal about Luminous Flux, footcandles, Lumens measurements, Candela and all the formula's: Volts x Amps x Power Factor (PF) = Watts. tech stuff? Do you work for Phillips lol Down where i live I travel a lot on a road called Krome Ave, it runs on the edge of the glades and the road way is DARK so, I am looking of optimal lighting along with a uniform spectrum for ascetics. I do Fire-marshal crowd control work as well, so the back of my edge will have a traffic warning bar white/red/green 3GEN 3w LEDs, bright them most country rescue car have. My audi had 2% limo tints and they were still very bright. Here is a video of them, I am licensed to have them as I custom install them for under cover units, http://youtu.be/qQ44LExwi6o My audi was very HIGH TECH, 4 CH remote viewing DVR 3G, IR Blaster in front bumper for black out night driving as the front camera displayed on my Pioneer Avic head unit, Escort car with heads up display projected onto windshield, I was a fun car, I miss her. ​Real time Telemetry XYZ and google map gui http://youtu.be/ki8mN8OD5P8?list=UUP3m6oSy5ARPRBEUrFTzomw DRV GUI http://youtu.be/yQc8MykYcPA of a really bad DUI The DVR to PIoneer Avic live screen http://youtu.be/a18POasfiqM And just your viewing , this was A DUI driver that drove 9 mile down the wrong side of the road with no lights on, clipped a few cars then turned into a residential area speeding still no light and on wrong side of road. So you will see me stop for a few seconds while I waiting for the go-head from the 911 dispatch to engage and tail him until back up units caught up to me, I had him stopped before they showed up with the use of a flash light. lol and he was butt naked drunk. the video is in a few parts, but worth the watch. When I decided he was a danger to human life and got involved called dispatch and reported what was going on, I explained that I was a certified tactical instructor diver, they gave me the GO and the chase started http://youtu.be/9Pd5FYCQgnI and at the end, cops pulled up and thanked me you can leave. now A funny bonus http://youtu.be/3BeIEhuxBiE I am a modifier inventor, I love to create systems that interact with the cars I mod. So I can wait to start working on my edge. And no ricer whistle exhaust I keep my cars looking 100% stock looking as this ricer learned. LOL http://youtu.be/vhJIumo3Tk0 I let him think he had me, but once i got into 3rd, He went bye bye, then the second time he tried again, I didn't even give him the chance. :P: damn ricers

MAY YOU ALL PROSPER AND GREAT HEALTH AND WEALTH BE IN YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2015. AND MAY YOUR CARS CONTINUE TO BE UPGRADED WITH NEW TOYS. : HAVE A SPLENDID 2015! AND I HOPE THEY FIX THE WIFI PASSWORD LIMIT ON OUR FORD SYNC

Just a idea I been looking around for with not much result. I have a 2011 Edge Sport and I was wondering if there was anyway possible that the side rear view mirrors are interchangeable with the newer model style units that have the LED turn indicator on them??? Now I am a believer of nothing is impossible, and it could be done the hard way by doing one hell of a wiring job if they are not interchangeable or have at least a spare connector already ran. Anyone? Thanks in advance.
