i want it to have an OEM look, hence why i went with a Ford switch. that one looks very fancy schmancy, definitly not Ford. since my main plan was to put some laser jammer controls on it, i want it to look as inconspicuous as possible. plus, i am a stickler for aftermarket parts needing to blend...

got the laser we are in business now

looks like i actually misread the tracking. it arrived in California and will be given to USPS soon. i hope you get yours quickly!

mine just exported from China

for those who dont want to feed the clickbait: he tried to slide it into some spot on his property from about 73mph, but both went too fast and started the slide too late and clipped some bricks. it needs a new rear wheel, rear bumper cover, and rear diffuser. not "crashed" in the expected sense

i went to Home Depot to buy some of that Baer Black in spray paint form, but satin was too glossy and matte was too dull. i also tried Sherwin-Williams but they had nothing to help me. i then went to Space Age Auto Paint 40 min away and was fully prepared to spend a pretty penny to have a custom...

so i decided to use some buttons that are going to be replaced on the headlamp switch anyways to test paint colors and removing the icons. my first attempt at removing the icons (or rather, the paint around them. the icons themselves are gaps in the paint to the translucent plastic) used my...

got the 7th button today. also good news on the cupholder front: i got the new lighting rings look like they are roughly the right shape! this will likely be good to model a cupholder for

affected vehicles as of 5/29/2025 somehow, my VIN is apparently safe. i have no recall flagged on my Mustang

Ford has a HUD in the F-150, Super Duty, Escape, and a few of the Lincolns as well. they also have an electronic rear view mirror exclusive to the Transit

allow me to give some insight from (sort of) the inside. Ford is currently in some sort of cost-cutting mode it seems, and a rather aggressive one at that. Mustangs no longer have owner's manual pouches. F-150, Bronco, and Ranger Raptors no longer have "Raptor" keyfob backs. Explorer STs no...

6 of 7 buttons and 1 of 2 headlamp switches are here holding that many buttons feels weird, almost illegal. also, the upper-left button on the headlamp switch still pops the trunk

those poor relays click clacking for their life! i will agree that not removing the charger and recording instead is stupid, but i guess this kind of thing can happen with a very, very low or internally shorted battery. if that is the case, then the biggest risk is really how the modules react...

making OEM-style icons for the buttons now. it looks like Ford usually constrains icons to a 10x10mm domain, and uses 0.5mm strokes, really only doing outlines. sometimes they fill things in too. here is my attempt at a trunk release icon. made using Inkscape. factory trunk release icon for...

if you are just looking for a front and rear camera, not crazily priced or anything, check out the Viofo A229 Plus or Pro. they are both currently on sale on Amazon for 20% off. the A229 Plus records 2k front and rear. the A229 Pro records 4k front and 2k rear. both use front and rear Sony...

me when i forget what button does what and i didnt label them or when i do label them, but its with some incomprehensible icon

i did some estimating and it turns out that 5 buttons is easy mode. i can fit up to 7, so i will be doing 7 instead, bringing the total button count to use how i want to 19

i ordered the parts. Bronco headlamp switch and the five buttons should be here in a week. the F-150 headlamp switch is on backorder, so no ETA on that

you never know what you will need buttons for :)

here is the IPMA camera. here is the interior ambient air temperature sensor. according to Ford: "The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor is an input to the HVAC control module. The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor contains a thermistor and a sensing element which separately...
