Mileage is pretty decent, the hills of West Virginia & Virginia & North Carolina took their toll overall though.

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information

My guess is that the servers are overloaded with the word getting out that 2.2 is available. Try at different times throughout the day & you should eventually grab it -
What engine do you have?

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information
lildisco replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Yup, pretty much every day. I work for a small ISP for over 15 years that also provides TV services. We could probably go all day back & forth. -
Had a nice long reply written up & when i posted it, nothing happened, oh well. They started working this morning on their own while on my way to Discount Tire. I had roughly 110 miles on the car since the swap. I can home & did the flasher re-learn trick & that worked. I did look at the above post by enigma & i did purchase a trigger tool, (my work truck had one, but I think it's busted because the light doesn't come on when the button is pressed). I also found out that there are 2 re-learn procedures. The hazard one is only for known tpms, like a tire rotation. The 2nd is more for case with switching out winter & summer tires. The procedure is: There are TWO different modes of training TPMS sensors: 1. TRAINING TPMS sensors on my truck you push the hazard flasher three times and the truck will enter TRAIN mode. This works ONLY if the sensors are "known" to the TPMS module in the truck! 2. RELEARNING TPMS sensors. This procedure is required after you installed new sensors NOT KNOWN to the truck and must be "learned" first; FORD TPMS Relearn for Keyed-ignition models: 1) Make sure ALL TIRES ARE INFLATED TO SPEC 2) IGNITION SWITCH in OFF position 3) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL 4) Turn IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec) 5) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL 6) Turn the ignition switch back to OFF. 7) IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec) 8) The HORN SOUND sound indicates vehicle has entered into TPMS RELEARN mode. 10) Place the top of the TPMS triggering tool against the sidewall of the DRIVERS SIDE FRONT tire in the location of the valve stem. TRIGGER SENSOR, wait until the horn sounds 11) Once the horn sounds, move on to the PASSENGER SIDE FRONT tire and repeat the process. Each tire should only take 30 seconds or less. 12) Once horn sounds continue on to the PASEENGER SIDE REAR tire and 13) Once horn sounds continue on to the DRIVERS SIDE REAR tire. 14) You may now turn the ignition to OFF. · If the horn does not sound, the sensors were learned successfully. · If the horn sounds twice, then the process must be repeated because there was a malfunction. I do have keyless ignition, so maybe the process might be a little different, like this one from theTPMSforum: *WITH INTEGRATED KEY FOB (ACTUAL KEY CONTAINED IN KEY FOB) PUSH BUTTON START: 1. With vehicle off, press and release the brake pedal. 2. Using the push button, press and hold the button until the vehicle is in acessory mode (ACC mode). WARNINGl DO NOT PUSH RELEASE TOO QUICKLY. PUSH - WAIT FOR SOUND - RELEASE. 3. Power off by pushing the button 1 time. 4. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 5. Press and release the brake pedal, then turn vehicle off. 6. Using the push button, press and hold the button until the vehicle is in acessory mode. 7. Power off by pushing the button 1 time. 8. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 9. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. 10. Starting at LF tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: RF, RR, and LR. If equipped with banded sensors, place antennae of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized. Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires. 11. After successfully programming the LR tire, the message center should display TRAINING COMPLETE 12. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on placard. ***WITH INTELLIGENT ASSIST IGNITION SYSTEM (NO ACTUAL KEY CONTAINED IN KEY FOB): 1. With vehicle off, press and release the brake pedal. 2. Using the push button, press once to turn on, then press again to put vehicle into ACC mode, then press again to turn vehicle off. 3. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 4. Press and release the brake pedal, then turn vehicle off. 5. Using the push button, press once to turn on, then press again to put vehicle into ACC mode, then press again to turn vehicle off. 6. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 7. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. If equipped with message center, it will display TRAIN LF TIRE. 8. Starting at LF tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: RF, RR, and LR. If equipped with banded sensors, place antenne of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized. Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires. 9. After successfully programming the LR tire, the msessage center should display TRAINING COMPLETE 10. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.

Possibly, i also deal with users like this on a daily basis. It could go either way to be honest,lol. Not a bad idea to cover both basis though! -
The 'coking' of the intake valves can be lessoned greatly by installing a catch can. For around $500 including the install, you can save yourself a lot of problems down the road. In nearly 2,000 miles of driving, my teamrxp.com catch can has stopped about 4-5 ounces of oil/gas/sludge from re-entering the intake manifold. The sooner you get a catch can installed, the sooner you prevent coking. The teamrxp.com design catches the 'gunk' in boost as well as when you're not in boost. Most catch cans only function when the car isn't making power, like idle, this design catches both & i'm very pleased with my can. Keep in mind that it's not just ecoboost's having this issue. It's a design flaw with any direct injection & by the time it becomes an issue, the car is usually out of the original warranty period. Ecoboost's are more apparent because of the turbo which produces more blow by (the low friction piston rings don't help with this either). Here's a link to my install post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22063-oil-catch-can-on-the-20l-ecoboost/?p=166118

I have over 100 miles & the only sensors it picks up are the ones that were on the car or my cx7 tires
-
Haven't had the need to change them yet, but I'd go after market before going OEM, unless Ford is practically giving them away. Most parts/automotive stores will install them for free
-
Firestone/Tire Kingdom can't get them to re-learn, guess I'm going to have to go to Discount Tire...... Boo......

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information
lildisco replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
The Edge doesn't have wireless service, so i don't know how your phone can't connect to the wireless from the edge. The Edge can RECEIVE a wireless signal from your modem/router, but can't provide one. Unless you pay extra for a 3rd party service. Everything you're describing, sounds more like phone issues than Sync issues -
Sitting overnight for 2 nights didn't help. The Edge does pick up on the tpms from my cx7 which is next to the edge & only 1 or 2 sensors at that. Just weird that the edge can't automatically pick up its own OEM tpms. Appointment set up for this evening
-
Welp, put the OEM wheels that came on the car on & i get a TPMS fault after a few miles of driving. I'm gonna try to roll for a bit & see what happens. If not, back to the tire place. I did try the hazard trick & drained my tire down to 15 psi & it still didn't learn them. Maybe sitting over night might help

It wants me to confirm via an .XML file, but every time i submit it, I get an error. Maybe I'll try tomorrow & see if it confirms it or if the car will automatically confirms it. -

Instructions should be in your owner's manual. On a 2016, they're fairly easy.

Fairly certain mine doesn't do this, but we usually use the remote start function. I'm going to throw the summer wheels on this weekend so we'll see if it makes that noise when i move it around in the garage
-
How much oil do you have? I've heard this happen before when the oil isn't to the top of the dipstick full or max level. Could also be the injectors, but usually on cold start ups, the oil accumulates at the bottom of the pan, which is when you should check it or wait at least 15 minutes after you turn off the engine. Once the engine is warmed up, the oil is circulated through the engine & the noise stops or is hardly noticeable.
-
Well, i ordered the Cquartz Dlux stuff. I'm going to apply it to the summer wheels sometime this week & when the winter come off, I'll apply it to them. We'll see how this works!
-
I wonder how well it works with direct injection & blowby & gas dilution. I was curious about this myself, but will probably just stick with M1 Full Syn. I end up changing my oil roughly every 4 months/4,000 miles anyway. My oil life monitor is never under 50%, but gives me piece of mind to change the oil anyway. I believe that the 2.0 Ecoboost has low friction rings to help with fuel economy, which results in this being injected back into your intake manifold. Had around 750 highway miles when i drained my Catch Can & a fresh oil change with Mobil1.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
lildisco replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
2008 GT AWD. I've had a lot of fun in that car. Probably done things i shouldn't have done, but it's been the 1st 4 cylinder that I've had that has had more that 160HP. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
lildisco replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Washed the Edge & CX7, drained the catch can & changed the oil on my CX7. Maybe if it stays warm enough the next few weeks, I'll put the summer tires on both vehicles. -
I use Chemical Guys Diablo Gel Wheel Cleaner. Definitely cleans the wheels. As far as a protective coating to help prevent brake dust build up, I haven't been able to find anything that works....yet.
