A traditional cable driven emergency brake can be used to slow and stop a car when there is a brake failure in the hydraulic system. The "Parking brake" I have can also be used as a Drift brake IF that option is turned on. Here's my question. Can this hand brake be used to slow the car in...

My wife has a 2020 Lincoln Continental. Lately a door alarm has been randomly going off when she locks the car. A few days ago the LincolnWay app registered six separate alerts all at the same time stamp. Today there were eight alerts spread out over a 30 minute period. When she came home...

530 miles, mostly around town. I can usually get into 5th gear and sometimes 6th for a minute or two. Mileage is slowly improving. I'm up to 14.5 mpg on the current tank. The car is amazing in the way it feels (tracks). I only wish there was a bit more steering feel. The AVE is awesome. I...

I've had my GT for a months now and have noticed the back gets quite dusty/dirty whereas the rest of the vehicle stay clean (no rain). I am guessing the rear spoiler/wing is setting up eddy currents that pulls air up from the street. Thoughts?

I finally got a chance to try Cruise Control today. I used the switch on the steering wheel to turn it on and the panel indicator was displayed with my current speed of 45. However, when I took my foot off the accelerator, the car continued to slow down. I tapped the "SET+" button a few times...

How do I determine what software version I’m on?

The last two days I have noticed that my iPhone battery is draining faster than normal. I check app usage and find Pandora at the top of the list with 70% usage! I don’t use Pandora on a regular basis. I tried it once in the car just to see if it worked. Somehow my GT fires up Pandora when I...

Perhaps I'm "Old School". I have a bunch of MP3 music organized in directories by artist. The B&O system plays the files just fine. Problem is I cannot navigate to the directories! The system starts at the first directory and plays files sequentially. My 2018 WRX would allow me to navigate...

I received my GT on 4/4/24. My sticker indicated no "Gas Guzzler" tax, but did mention the Start/Stop system. When I pull up to a stop light, I do as the manual says; Stop vehicle, shift into Neutral, and release the clutch & accelerator pedal. The engine does NOT Stop running! I haven't...

I measured my battery voltage this morning with a good multimeter - 12.2 volts. I put the battery on my NOCO 5 Genius charger. 4 hours on the charger to get to "Green" - fully charged. This afternoon I had to go on another short trip - about 8 miles round-trip. I watched the battery gauge...

I found this setting for the driver's seat a few days ago, so I turned it on. It seem pretty neat that when you turn off the car, the seat is pulled way back for easy exit. It's almost too far as, upon entry, it's a bit difficult to precc the clutch to start the car and have the seat return...

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?

How do you rename a SAVED street address to a friendly name like "Doctor"? This is using the car's built-in navigation - NOT cell phone.

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?

What do the high end Ford floor mats look like? I’m supposed to have them, but mine are plain black fabric.

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)...
