We live in Erfurt, state capital of Thuringia. (probably unknown for people overseas).

Yeah, since Spring has sprung ;-) and the weather was nice, so we decided to have a meeting at a local fast food-parking lot. And, what can I say, really ALL Ford Edge of our city were there! Yes, BOTH of them! Finally I got the chance to inspect Spacy73's all new 2011 (or is it a 2012???) Edge Sport. Very nice ride you have! Since Spacy73 is a car audio professional, I got the chance to have my home-made audio installation fine-tuned. Thanks man! Blumi

1st or 2nd generation Edge? I could provide a pic of mine (2007 -> 1st gen.)

They ride fine. Only slightly stiffer than on the factory 17 inch. MPG went down a bit, though.

They are still in the factory wheels sporting snow tires.

Hi, I'm having problems activating the new TPMS sensors I got with my new rims. I ordered DORMAN 974-026 sensors and an ATEQ VT15 programmer. The sensors react, but very sporadically. I did not get all 4 sensors programmed in one move, since I have only 1 minute per wheel in training mode. Do you think, the distance between outer tire and sensor is too far?

20inch Diamo 39 Karat white chrome wheels with 255/45's Pirellis. Waddaya think?

That's why some other cars switch from MPG (or Liters/100km) to gal/hour (or Liters/hour) while standing still.

@kempie, bbf2530: Thanks for the information. I didn't think of this functionality. @Wilson: According to the pictures in the linked PDF, a textured area is one method to achieve the signlight.

I don't think so. It's about the spherical glass lens inside the headlamp housing. Bastian

Apparently, the headlight lenses of the 2011 Edge have been developed by a company in a small German town near from where I live: Press release "Docter Optics" Can someone explain what they mean with the "signlight function" they included in the design? DRLs? Bastian

I noticed the weak fan on my 2007 also. But I think this is because the vent openings are pretty large. If they were smaller, the air would come with more force out of them. In other words: the amount of air is okay and sufficient, the air speed isn't. Bastian

Also, you have to connect pin 19 (Blue/White wire) of the vehicle connector to ground! This is, what I forgot in my installation back in the days. It's mentioned in the instructions, but it's overlooked easily.
