According to this we only get the published numbers on octane 93. What are the numbers on 87 then? Are they very significantly lower? Anyone switched and could immediately feel a difference? https://www.guideautoweb.com/en/articles/35467/2016-lincoln-mkx-an-ace-up-its-sleeve/

Had the car for over a year now and this is the first time it happened. Drove in winter during blizzards no problem. Yesterday drove 2 hours in heavy rain and twice got a warning about disabled blindspot sensors and then the orange lights stayed on all the time on the mirrors. It reset after a while without telling me. I had a rack with bikes on the back of the car; maybe that makes a difference? I am not sure where the sensors are.

You can use Apple carplay or Android auto and always have up to date maps and traffic info. For the integrated navigation I am not sure. I have tried it a few times but really prefer the smartphone nav

The edge st with the 2.7t does. Do we?

The steering is actually too good. I will usually turn it off after a short time because it becomes uncomfortably hot. So yeah taking my eyes off the road hunting for the screen button

here's me hoping that they finally find a way to give me a button or voice command to turn on/off the steering heat while in carplay.

I wonder what it is that makes a "good" interior for most people. For me it was mostly about feeling comfortable and ergonomics but also a bit of appearance; especially having soft plastics/leatherette instead of hard plastics. I also really like the raised console and the space freed by the buttons shifter. I read and watch car reviews all the time and Germans are always praised but to me they look good but really not that much better than the MKX. The Mercedes looks ridiculous with the numeric keypad. Maybe the look of the MKX is more traditional but it's still good materials, ergonomics. I drove an X3 just before I decided on the MKX and I liked it but I felt better just sitting in the MKX. Also some details I noticed in the MKX that I did not see in other cars. The turn signals sound like a metronome instead of a relay click. That is some great attention to details. I wish there was a way to turn off active noise cancelling to see if it actually makes a big difference.

Was going to road test a used 2016 edge in early 2018; I learned about the existence of the MKX and went to try one and liked the interior immediately. The devaluation is worse on an MKX to the point where a reserve model was almost the same price as the edge sport; easy choice.

Mine is there and I intend to keep it on while under warranty. Maybe even after; worse case I just manually open it when it finally breaks and then turn the option off forever. I had an F250 with folding mirrors before and it was surprisingly solid even at extreme cold with some ice on them. If my intention was to keep the car for 5+ years and keeping the auto folding option for a long time was important to me then maybe I would be more careful in the winter. Right now I feel like using what I paid for.

I would get a dash cam or gopro or something and start filming the dashboard until this happens and then go to the dealer with this; escalate to Ford if the dealer still refuses to keep the car until the problem is fixed. Last time I had a noise I just filmed it and brought that to the service guy and showed him the video; also emailed him so he could pass it on to the mechanic. Saves a lot of trouble and makes it removes 100% of any doubt that the problem is with the driver.

I understand that the people developing the iphone, android and sync apps are not the same but obviously Ford as a whole is not mature as a tech company. It is their responsibility as a brand to ensure that work contracted out or done in their divisions reflects on the brand. How crazy is it that ALL cars would have that annoying cannot connect to wifi message at each start by default? Having remote start fail once in a while I could understand. I've had so many different failures with or without messages. Only explanation I can think of is that the people doing the app are only doing basic testing and the people paying them to do the app don't actually use the app and notice how bad it is. And then there are the minor annoyances such as the app popping up a "do not use while driving" that interrupts my use of remote start because I am currently moving in a bus. Apple maps and google maps are used all the time while moving; you don't see them doing this so it can't be about liability. Once again people ordering the app or designing the app are just not using it in their real life or their real life is nothing like what the customer will be.

With how bad the Lincoln app updates are on my iphone in terms of remote start reliability I would recommend turning auto-updates off anyway. Let other people get the next sync version and then after a few weeks if everything is fine you can download it manually.

I have been paying attention and never heard it on my 2016. I go from half tank to gas warning message every 1-2 weeks so I drive often with a partial tank but never heard that even backing up in the garage where all outside sounds are reflected to me by the walls. Missing insulation seems possible or maybe several suppliers make gas tannks and some of them are a different design?

If you want to disable carplay entirely check on your phone in settings, general, carplay. Maybe that 2nd phone has this turned off already. Also there is cover art in carplay music but it's only an hazy background image; hard to make out if you never saw the actual album art before. Maybe it's a case of what you are used to. I really hate sync 3 navigation and I did not enjoy apple maps much at first as I was used to waze. I still think that waze/google maps is better at searching for an address but I mostly use all apple stuff now; just easier to talk to siri and never try to type anything on the screen while at a red light. Also try updating to sync 3.0; new features probably but there are always bug fixed between versions too

Was doing an impromptu drag race from a red light against a Nissan Armada. I was not in sport mode; only D and he beat me to about 40mph after which I backed down because public street limited to 35. Are Armadas crazy fast for that size or does D restrict the engine on top of deadening the gas pedal and shifts?

I knew that but did not think of it. I have set it to 10 mins so I can schedule it to be optimally hot when getting out of the gym but also no worries if I stay a few minutes after to talk.

Right. I have no idea how long it takes but probably more than 10 mins

After a reboot of the watch... It's the unlock, lock and remote start functions. So.. now my watch can kill me. Hear me out... I sleep with my watch Car is in the garage Not very likely but let's say I forget one night to put my watch in theater mode and then roll over and accidentally trigger the screen to start the lincoln app... then accidentally push the middle remote start button for about 3 second consecutive.. car starts... exhaust fumes.. death

All I get is a picture of a circle surrounded by a half circle; seems stuck there. Watch v2 so maybe mine is too old; not sure of the app can be only downloaded for some watch versions; my phone is very recent. I use the app to start the car very remotely or to program in a start schedule for after the gym. Very useful in the winter. A little thing that bothers me... I use the app when on the bus going to the carpark and it always complains that I should not be using it while driving. I am remotely starting the car.. obviously not driving!

That's a new one. At least it only happens when parking. Mine is a 2016 and started having a high pitched whine when rolling but also when stopped at a light. It's not related to any climate fan; it does it even if I turn the climate off entirely. I think it must be related to the exhaust system but I can't figure out how. It is coming from the back of the car and it's not doing to 100% of the time but often enough to be very annoying on a car that price. Right now I'm thinking of trading it for a Jeep before the warranty is up; at least I will expect this one to be noisy; that or a BMW with a very long extended warranty.

Does not really matter. Mine is always plugged in to the usb port(without a phone attached) but a phone draws so little power that you could probably recharge the entire phone 100 times on a car battery.

It still says 3.0. Is this actually new software? Right now my sync works well enough. I got used to apple maps but am looking forward to waze maps from car play in ios 12. I just wish there was a way to turn on/off the heated steering and see the outside temp from carplay itself. I don't want anything from Ford other that carplay/androidauto. Let the experts deal with the connected tech. Can you imagine each TV having it's own netflix like service; what a mess that would be. If anyone knows of a voice command to turn on and off the heated steering that would be very helpful to me. I hate having to go 2 menus deep just to turn it on/off. Actually I wish there was a way to regulate the temp so it does not get so hot but I do appreciate how it heats quickly.

I was expecting it to be almost the same but it is quite different. Engine sound is really different. I love my V6. Acceleration is good but noise from engine, road, wind is crazy compared to my MKX. Maybe that sound cancelling thing works much better than I was thinking. Wish we could turn it off and on to compare. It has the cruise control adaptive feature. I like it but really not something I miss a lot. Also collision warning that seems a bit paranoid; the guy was just braking in front of me for the red light. Normal everyday braking not quick and sudden. Can't seem to find how to adjust so it does not follow from so far; everyone just cuts in front of me at this distance. There is also the stay in the lane thing but I have not seen any difference from that yet.

I have a moving blanket that the movers forgot over a decade ago and never came back to get. It's always in my car with the battery booster, hitch ball and tow strap. When I need to move something dirty the blanket is there. Also a nice almost mattress when I need to catch a nap in/near the car.

Maybe mine has some calibration issues. If I look at the white lines and do not change the steering angle I will definitely not end up where the lines end. As for the colors I do find them useful but the web version of the manual did not specify distances by color. I can't be bothered to search the paper version when there is an html version. Glad to know they really do mean something.
