For those attempting this mod (that have a late production mustang) and don't have ambient lighting as an option, my post on this *does* have the wiring diagram for Zone 1 ambient lighting, which is what the door sill plates will use. I would not attempt to use Zone 3 (footwell/door handle...

Got the codes ran on the car, and it looks like the tire shop did a number. BCM has a B124D:02-C8 DTC and the RCM also has a B00A0:63-28 DTC. Messaged the advisor I worked with at the dealership, lets see how it goes from here

I’m not letting that tire shop touch my car again. Guy blamed my wheel hub going out for the vibrations instead of checking his balancing job on the wheel. 🫩 The dealer I took it to rebalanced the wheel and did a sensor relearn. Still the same front right reading that’s going wrong. I’ll try...

Having a fault pop up with the TPMS. The problem didn't follow with the tire, so I'm assuming it is being caused by a faulty/damaged TPMS receiver. I've hit several potholes throughout the year, but I don't think any of them would do enough damage to cause this problem. The problem started...

Stop and go is the 2nd variant of TJA. There’s some changes in the APIM for that as well. IACC is what enables bluecruise, the more hands off version of self driving for fords. There’s nothing really stopping Ford from just making an OTA update to enable lane centering, as it’s the same system...

EcoBoost here, I can only dream of having lane centering; my last car had it and I slowly regret not getting the premium trim, considering that it looks like lane centering is bundled with ACC... I'm petitioning for Ford to make lane centering a separate feature 🙃

Too bad the paddle shifters don’t come separately, you have to buy the whole steering wheel! These cars for parts yards have my number memorized at this point the amount of times I’ve called them for the steering wheel 😁

I do yes, it won’t show up on the gear display as being in gear but I still retain L functionality. Paddle shifters are on the list though so it won’t be too long with L instead of M

I did this on my EcoBoost. The important thing is that you do not change anything related to the PCM, unless you actually have paddle shifters. All of the changes you need to make are with the IPC. The two addresses you need to change in the IPC are the continuous gear display and the select...

The BMS doesn’t need to be relearned unless you’re replacing the battery unit. Otherwise, disconnecting the battery to do electrical work doesn’t need a BMS relearn.

I’m still researching this, Early production mustangs have their ambient lighting controlled by the BCMB, which is in the trunk of the car. I’m currently researching if ambient lighting can be ran directly from the BCM on early production mustangs, as that’ll save over 10ft of wiring. I don’t...

The sensor is, unusually, very sensitive to rain regardless if your windshield is dirty or not. Ford uses a refraction sensor to determine how much rain hits that area. Even if it’s a light amount of rain, it’ll speed up if more droplets hits the sensor. It’s also the case in reverse; if it’s...

Alright, time for the full workup for the footwell lights! I'll make a separate workup post for when I install the door handle lights. This mod took me about 3-6 hours total, though depending on your electronics skills, it can be more. Assembling the wiring harness is gonna take about 1-2 hours...

Finally got the replacement light in, now I can add some results 😅 I’ll post a full work-up about this mod once I get everything together

Definitely not aftermarket, the stangs bone stock It plays through the speaker system so I’m assuming it’s a chime/warning, but I haven’t figured out what it’s for

Finally was able to get the startup sound on camera. I haven’t gotten a low battery charge sound before so I’m not sure if this is what it is or not. Don’t mind the radar, that’s not the sound I’m talking about 😅

Wish heated steering was also possible with this upgrade but the clock spring would need to be swapped out as well for that 😪 No codes or lights with your upgrade? It was basically plug and play swapping out the wheel? I want to do this mod next, but I also want to get adaptive cruise control...

I definitely want to attempt this on my Mustang eventually. Retrofitting ambient lighting into it was a headache so I’ll take a break from mods for now. Are yall using LED strips or fiber optic for your setups?

I just got a funny start up chime myself, nothing like the heartbeat or ford chime. Haven’t been able to recreate it, but it might be the unrecognized key chime.

There’s also some tap points on the footwell lights themselves if you’re handy enough to do some soldering work (and don’t mind waiting a month or two if you break it since the lights are on back order) It is resisted at those tap points and I’ll probably save you a few headaches trying to...
