Lance Moss Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Anyone ever tried to enable Global Open on a 2013 Edge? I have FOrScan and IDS. Just hoping someone else has attempted this. I would love to be able to open and close the windows remotely. Kinda dumb this wasn't enabled by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRbillZ Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) 'Global' open on the new ones is just the front windows. Just half way around the world... Edited June 20, 2016 by DRbillZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 To make global close work, you need to have window regulators with pinch protection. Since you don't have that, it's not enabled. Would be kinda dumb to chop kids hands off when the windows close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The 2013 Edge has pinch protection... they call it "bounce-back". From the 2013 Edge Owner's Manual: Bounce-BackThe window will stop automatically while closing and reverse somedistance if there is an obstacle in the way.

akirby Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 But I don't think all the windows on the new ones have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The 2013 Edge has pinch protection... they call it "bounce-back". From the 2013 Edge Owner's Manual: Note the lack of "s" after the word "window". Only the driver's window has the pinch protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I was wondering about that... the manual isn't very clear, it just has that separate note after all the other stuff about the power windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Moss Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 i am more interested in the open function than the close. I was just hoping someone had already messed with the programming for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozips2014 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 There's a really long post over on the Ford Escape owner's forum for this, not sure if it's applicable to the Edge as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb56 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I tried it on my 2011 Edge Limited. The BdyCM has two parameters for Global Open and Close. It offered 4 settings: DISABLE, Remote, Key, Remote and Key. I enabled the Remote setting but nothing happened. I tried holding the unlock button on the fob for 5-10 seconds either alone or after unlock. Nothing happens. ForScan was easy to use. Instead of trying to figure out which bit to set I didn't use the BdyCM as built module, just the next one BdyCM. It gives you a readable list of options that can be changed and double clicking them brings up the choices. Maybe there is another setting that needs to be there but I can't find it. Needless to say, I was disappointed. This is probably like Remote Start. Mine has been enabled on the dashboard menus since I got it and I saw that it was enabled in Forscan, but it at lease needs the antenna kit that I've read about on another topic here. Still not enough details that I fully understand what's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 You have to double click unlock and hold it on the second click to engage remote open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb56 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for the reply onyxbfly. I believe I tried that sequence but nothing happened. I suspect it wasn't available in the 2011 Ltd yet. Does anyone have this option working on their 2011? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Global window down and up Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 If you are using forscan, you have to enable the option in the Body module and the IPC module. Worked on my 11 Edge limited. I tried doing it in the BDY main and it didn't work. Once the option was added to the IPC instrument cluster it worked. I selected remote as the option in the BDY module. It appears to me that the IPC is the main controller of that function's ability to work. From there, you can tell the body module how you want it to work. I have not tried manual programming of two windows or the panoramic sunroof however. Best of luck, I had to poke around quite a bit to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
