I have had my GT for just under 1 week. I checked the parasitic current drain shortly after coming home. It was about 400 Ma (.4 amps). However, The car had been shut off for only a few minutes and I had removed my key fob from the vicinity so as to not trigger any accessories.
Today after...
In reading the user manual, it looks like the "Connected Navigation" (car GPS) is NOT free. On page 425, it looks like it's either a 90 day or possibly 3-year trial and then after that you must signup to use it. If that is the case, that stinks.
Is this the case?
I want to use the car's built-in navigation instead of what is on my iPhone. The problem is I can only do this if my iPhone is powered off.
Is there a way i can "prefer" the car's built-in navigation?
When I turn on my radio, there are a bunch of presets/favorites on the channel strip. Most don't work and the stations I have marked as a Favorite (blue star) aren't populated in that strip.
Is there a way to delete these non functioning radio stations and add my favorites?
I tried installing one of the two K&N filters. The Ford filters come off easily. I could not get one of the K&N filters on. Just too tight. I even tried twisting it on, but the filter started to distort, so I stopped. The stainless-steel hose clamp was completely loose.
Suggestions?
I installed a UPR Catch Can on the "Dirty" side only. I won't track or drag my car. I'm retired so I only drive about 5,000 miles a year.
UPR recommends emptying the Catch Can DAILY! That would be a PIA with the Strut brace installed.
What are others doing?
Picked it up yesterday late afternoon. Drove straight home, about 7 miles on paved roads. I forgot to add in the Gorilla tape in the front wheel well holes.
Fun drive though. Going to have to get used to a very different clutch that the WRX.
I put my 5 amp battery tender (for AGM batteries)...
My vehicle has been "In Production" (with no date) since 3/13/24. My sticker has been updated every day since 3/14/24. The only thing changed was the date at the very bottom.
Anybody have an idea what's going on?
I managed to get my Sticker a few days ago (3/14/24). Today I checked to see if there was any change in the Blend Date. Now I get the message, "Please Check Back Later. The windows sticker has not yet been released for this vehicle".
What's up with that?
I'm a few more weeks away from receiving my new GT. I plan on ordering a Catch Can setup. However, I don't understand the two PCV systems on the Coyote engine. There is a "Dirty" side and a "Clean" side. How are they different? Is the clean side necessary or advisable? UPR offers a...
I thought I saw a thread about this a while ago, but could not find it. This is about the new "Smart Cars" that are sharing your driving habits data with data brokers and eventually your insurance companies.
I placed my order on 12/6/23. I am currently scheduled for a build the week of 3/25/24.
I have seen "similar" orders placed well after mine get built before mine. The only thing I have not been able to eliminate as the cause of the delay is Magneride.
My dealer said there were plenty of...
I have been with USAA insurance and banking for over 45 years. Over the past few years, their insurance rates have continued to rise despite having zero claims from me.
Before I take delivery of my new Mustang I want to research other companies writing policies in Florida.
Recommendations?
When I ordered my GT in early December, I was quoted 1.9%. I am concerned that it was a teaser/intro rate.
I have been seeing 5.9% rates on cars these days. If that's the case, I'm walking from the deal.
What have you folks been seeing RECENTLY?
After reading about so many electronics issues revolving around battery levels on new vehicles, I am wondering if I should put a battery tender on mine at least for the first few days or until it is fully charged. I currently have a 1 amp charger/tender. I wonder if that would be enough.
I am...
I created my FordPass account two months ago without any issues. I received my VIN today and tried to "Add My Vehicle". I typed in the VIN and clicked next. I got an immediate response, "FordPass isn't responding. Please try later".
Doing Google searches didn't turn up anything useful.
