I fixed my TCU and converted it from North America to Europe and now FordPass works.

No need for expensive conversion and send the TCU to Poland that would have costed me 500 Euro's + shipping.

Now it only costed me 3.50 Euro for a simcard converter/extender.

Happy that my Ford pass works.

We went to the Formula 1 track in Zandvoort with the Mustang crew. I'm the only S650 from all the hundreds of Mustangs over there.

So after my TCU conversion I wanted to see if I can convert my radio from SDRS (Sirius) that people use in North America to DAB+ (European version).

I compared all lines in Forscan that had to do with DAB+ and SDRS, but even after changing the lines unfortunately there is no hardware to make this work because the ACM is different. A German company asks 1300 Euro to convert it and I'm not crazy to pay that amount.

So it's either find a European ACM and do it myself or leave it as it is. On the F150 forums, they changed the ACM and it worked. They even used ACM from a total different car. I think I'm going to stick with Mustang ACM's if I can find one at least.

I made a stupid mistake buy ordering OEM air filters for the Mustang. It costed me 106 Euro. Around 120 USD for 2 filters.

Then I realized that on this forum many people were very happy with a reusable air filter, so I also bought those.

It costed me 206 Euro's with shipping, but it will pay itself back after a while. Wish I could bring the OEM filters back but I was too late

The S650 has the best arse by far

I brought my car to the dealership for its 2nd service. My car has 15.500km on the dash and is now 1.7 years old.

The first service, I did it when it was 3500km on the dash and the car was 1 year old.

So this is the second service in a year.

When servicing the car for the first time, they only did an oil change and checking the car.

This second service is with interior filter and brake fluid.

I asked them about the air filter since they didn't replace it last year. They didn't know nothing about the air filter at first and later they called me back to say that the air filter is only once in 3 years. I don't believe that's the right thing for an air filter so I asked them to replace it now, because I saw pictures of you guys having a black filter with less kilometers on the dash.

While writing this, the air filter that I ordered from the US is still on its way. When it arrived I will replace the oem filters.

Costs for this second service: 760 Euro's

Did you do anything with the Ford Pass app to get it to reflect the true colour of your car? My Ford Pass is a white DH but I have a vapour blue...

No I didn't. I just put the VIN number to register and it gave me the right color of my car.

I’ve written to Ford to see if they can update mine, as your post and my searching on the internet suggests that it should match the colour I bought.

I believe that it should as well. Mine does.

But no matter what it will still show the wrong car on the tire pressure screen

Yep. Looks like the only options there are modes. Light and Dark.

That looks like the phone app. Ford Pass?

Is there a cost?

Is there any downside to installing this on my iPhone?

Is there any benefit? I read that it is useful if you lock your keys in your car. Anything else?

What does it do?

Yes, it's FordPass.

I can:
- lock/unlock the car
- start the car
- see tire pressure
- oil life
- washer fluid
- make service schedule and see the cost
- see my previous service schedule + costs
- roadside assistance
- see software updates that are done
- GPS location of your vehicle at the moment

It's free to use.
