The USB hub in the 2016 gt premium did not support Apple car play. The software update itself did work as well as OEM. But Apple car play did not work until I replaced the USB hub.
Ah that’s fair. Dallas gets snow and it’s not even that far north. I’m talking Houston which is borderline a coastal city. Galveston is like an hour away.
I was able to retrofit a 2016 mustang gt premium with Apple car play. I had to replace the usb hub with one that had a new part number. And I also had to update the sync software on it using a method that wasn’t officially supported.
Once you get used to the scorching summers, Texas is great because you actually can enjoy a car on summer tires all year round. There might be the odd week here and there during the first quarter of the year where it falls below 45 degrees.
My 21 Mach 1 which I ordered 6/21 first got the scheduled notification and therefore a VIN on 6/24 (mind you 21 production may have already started but I can’t remember for sure) and eventually settled on a build week of 8/16.
I received an email on 8/16 that it had been built. Which is when I...
Ever since my first mustang which was a 2016 gt premium 6 speed auto (which we affectionately called Cap), my wife and I have been naming our cars after marvel characters. We called my 21 Mach 1 Vision. This 24 DH is SUPPOSED to be my last mustang. We’re gonna call it Falcon. Ya know because in...
I had originally placed an order at $7K over. But someone helped me find a dealer that was willing to order and sell at MSRP. I ordered it earlier this afternoon and signed the DORA and got the ford confirmation email.
I really would have gone through with paying $7K over, but $7K saved is $7K...
Manual. I’ve owned an automatic mustang before. I have a pretty strong opinion about this. But note that I do not judge anyone for what they prefer to drive. This is just an account of my own experience.
The auto was such a bore for me to drive. The V8 sound gets old after a while and then...
Regular bronco. I probably would have done either a black diamond or badlands. Most likely black diamond as I rarely go offroad. And even then the trail I normally did was a piece of cake in my willys which didn't even have a locking rear diff.
Honestly, I feel you. I said MIGHT because I...
The 2018+ manuals are actually fantastic. I MIGHT have ordered a bronco instead of a dark horse if it had been possible to option the manual when the order banks opened.
2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 6 speed manual. That car has an open recall on the clutch friction plate that it seems FCA is never going to fix. Sold it as soon as I realized it because I don’t want a car that has a higher than normal chance to spontaneously combust.
I had to ask my salesperson to send me the order summary / preview order which has the order code on it. I think officially that sheet is called the DORA (dealer order receipt acknowledgement). But it’s what ford gives the dealer as a receipt after the order is placed I think.
You should be...
The way I understand it, dealers are discouraged from marking up a retail order at the last minute because the customer who winds up purchasing the car would not be the same customer that ordered it. It’s this type of circumstance that dealers will get penalized for. I believe being up front...
