  1. Alarm Sensor 18 GT

    It's primarily used by pet owners who temporarily leave their pets inside the vehicle. "All Sensors" is just that. In this example, it includes the interior cabin motion detectors. "Perimeter Sensors" arms the vehicle with all sensors, except the interior sensors. The feature allows someone...
  2. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Ya, I made the last update via USB; it's sitting in a box I keep with the manuals, log book and other things. Twenty years from now, someone rummaging through the box is going to pick that stick up and wonder what it is, what it was used for. Just like some attend car shows now and see an...
  3. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    The S650 will have several receivers, for different technologies and features. The shark fin antenna on the roof or rear quarter is the GPS antenna; primarily used for maps and navigation. Inside the dash or integrated with the screens should be an Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)...
  4. Possible camber issue/inside of front tires worn

    Long post short: get an alignment, at the dealer or service shop you trust. They should provide you with a before and after printout of the settings. I can think of two situations related to alignment. There's the alignment issue you can feel. The car tracks to one side, is loose, steers...
  5. Higher Oil Temps After Sw Update??

    Using the S550 as a reference... As to why operating the A/C generally results in cooler engine temperatures, that occurs due to the radiator fans. When the A/C is turned on, both radiator fans immediately begin operating at 40% power. If temperatures continue to increase to a given point, both...
  6. Possible camber issue/inside of front tires worn

    Sorry you lost the tires, but happy to read nothing happened to anyone or the car. I've seen the issue occasionally. We've had a thread or two of similar excessive wear, but nothing systemic. I can't remember anyone having a bad component from the factory, something needing replacement. The...
  7. New recall: water intrusion into BCM and connectors (25C43/25V546)

    No additional insight in the linked documents, but you might want to keep for your records. https://www.autoevolution.com/pdf/news_attachements/ford-recalls-105000-mustang-vehicles-over-lighting-issue-256667.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCAK-25V546-7884.pdf In the coming days or...
  8. Where is the stamped VIN number?

    Unless I cut into my carpet, I won't be able to confirm the VIN is stamped under my seat. I'm attaching a photo as a reference. In the threads I listed earlier, S550 cars sent to AU and the UK were stamped in the area we've discussed. @Paul2020 :thumbsup: confirmed his S650 is stamped in the...
  9. Dark Horse HP ride height

    To give you an idea...2022 Mach 1, w/HP, aftermarket wheels and tires, within 3% of factory circumference. Measuring from the front splitter can be deceiving. The belly pan extends underneath and goes lower still. When I last measured at the belly pan, I was coming in at 4.5 inches, 11.43 cm of...
  10. New recall: water intrusion into BCM and connectors (25C43/25V546)

    https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls NHTSA is generally good at posting their safety reports. The 25C43 (Ford) / 25V546 (NHTSA) recall has yet to be listed. I'd expect to see NHTSA's write-up to be posted in a few business days.
  11. New recall: water intrusion into BCM and connectors (25C43/25V546)

    The car has two Body Control Modules. BCM-A: Interior cabin, passenger side, next to where right (US), left (AU/NZ/UK) foot would be placed. BCM-B: Interior trunk, right side of vehicle, in the general area of the wheel well. Attached are images for the S550. While the Powertrain Control...
  12. Check Engine Light || Air Filters

    I've feel the problem occurs more frequently with K&N filters, most frequently with oiled filters. Some filters change the volume of incoming air enough to max the fuel trims and/or pester the MAF sensor. Oiled filters often result in the owner using too much oil, the excess residue impacting...
  13. Early oil change message

    The OLM relies on both time and operating conditions to determine when to change the oil. At one extreme, changing the oil and parking the car, the OLM will tick down to 0% at the end of one year. At the other, a track weekend, the OLM will reach 0% over a few days. At it's slowest rate, the...

  15. First oil change--checked the oil next day and it was barely above the min mark

    Good that you checked the level. There've been a few threads/posts of people seeing same when receiving their new Mustang. New engine, Ford filling not full but in-between Min and Max and other factors could lead to this. "Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after...
  16. Ford Motorsport AOS - Confused… Self Draining or Not?

    In the Coyote Mustang, on the passenger side, the existing PCV valve-to-intake tubing will be removed. In its place, a catch can and hoses will then complete the connection. The Ford can does not have a drain back valve to the engine, or a drain valve, like a oil pan. The Ford unit must be...
  17. Gasoline Prices

    Prices in my area have been stable, and, lower than last year. Shell Premium is $3.49 a gallon. - The overall outlook for global growth is lower, with demand projections being reduced accordingly. The global requirement for oil is stable or lower than previous - Russia needs capital, and has...
  18. First oil change after break-in + service package?

    At the time (last season), yes, they would not remove the pan bolt. From the van, they unreel a snorkel and hose, the snorkel then placed down the dipstick tube, to the bottom of the pan. The vacuum system would then be turned on to remove the oil. While they would go underneath, the focus is...
  19. First oil change after break-in + service package?

    Last year, I used the mobile service for a BCM re-flash, as part of a S550 recall. While there, I got a tour of the van. I asked about maintenance, how heavy they could go. General maintenance, to include fluid changes, filters, brakes, maybe a water pump. Thinks like that. Specific to oil...
  20. First oil change after break-in + service package?

    Regarding break-ins and first oil changes, I'm offering some links below. The topics of break-in, oil type/brands and the maintenance schedule produce a wide range of comments and beliefs. Follow your heart. ❤:giggle: - The minimum standard for upkeep is what's described and listed the Owners...
