HotLap Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Fellow Edge owners....things I'm doing to the interior. 1) I have the Escort 9500xi radar detector with the Blendmount and Invisicord that I will be mounting in my 11 Edge. I had this mounted in my 2009 F150 and the wiring simply plugs into the back of the mirror connector. Would anyone have the correct two wires for the Edge mirror connector? On the Platinum it was the Invisicord RED wire connector to the mirror connector BLUE/RED stripe wire. For the Invisicord GREEN wire it was the BLACK/PURPLE wire on the mirror connector. You simply push the Invisicord wires into the rear of the mirror connector for a trouble free connection that turns on/off with the key. The blendmount is a low profile black anodized alum mounting system that hangs the radar detector off the mirror stalk so it is right beneath the mirror. Very stealth mounting location and much better than the windshield suction cup mount. The mount is fully adjustable to fit a range of detectors and the entire dector can be removed in seconds (dealer service, etc.) 2) I added B&I interior trim pieces to the door window switch areas (where the cheap black plastic parts are) to dress up the black interior just a bit. Although I purchased the full kit, I've only used the window switch surround pieces as I really don't like the look when too much is applied. B&I were the only ones that made this for the 2011 Edge and it is not an "exact" match. The wood grain and color are right - but the factory dash wood trim is more of a satin finish where the B&I is gloss finish. They asked me to comment on the match as I was the 1st one to order it and I will do so. Also, they didn't have the correct center console trim piece - looked like it would fit the non-Sony sound system 2011 - but not my Limited. This is not an issue for me as I like the black finish and won't be covering it. 3) I'm going to be checking out the 2011 MKX and see if there are any interior parts I might want to purchase to upgrade the looks of the Edge. While the MKS is very differnet as far as dash/door panels - some things might be nice to check out - like how they did the rear seat inboard mount bolt covers...Ford just used a rubber cap on the bolt and left the black mount showing (looks tacky). The MKX might have a cover over this area....anyway I'll try and post pics of my mods. Love to hear from the rest of you as to what you are doing with your Edge Edited December 18, 2010 by HotLap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
