What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[control4userguy]

It went okay. The install procedure is terrible in that it leaves you guessing if it is done yet. After the first re-boot, it looks "normal" but it is still updating. Wish Ford would have an install bar at all times.

Eventually, the updating system software message returns and finally get a dialog box telling you the install is done and will take affect on the next power cycle and to pull out the USB drive. Turn off for a few minutes and turn back on and it's done.

Don't forget to go back to the My Ford website with the USB drive to upload an xml file to let Ford know you have updated your car.

I then setup the automatic update via wireless connection to my home network. Will see if that works in the future.

Thanks for the tips! WiFi has not worked for me. Will try USB method. Things are fine for me on build 17276 so maybe I will forgo any updates.

Went to my first autocross in probably 18 years. Finished last in class, but had a blast.

A cheap and easy mod to keep pesky insurance moles from snapping pics of my VIN.

Why do they take pics of your VIN?

So far good. Everything works like it should. I'm using a launcher that skins it more appropriate for a radio.

How do you like the android head unit so far?

For what it’s worth, I never got a WiFi update to work. I have updated twice with USB, with minor issues. In short, I had to make two attempts both times, but it finally loaded. I’m on 3.0 now, and all is good.

Yes. 19x10.

Which MRR wheels? thanks for a reply.

edit: M600?

Today the weather finally allowed me to get my car out of winter storage and drive it home. Here's the new steering wheel installed.

From CJ Pony Parts. It is very nice to use, too. Also, updated Sync 3 to v3.0.

Where did you get the pony mat by the USB??

Drove to West Bend WI to attend the Wisconsin Car Enthusiasts Club Season Opener. Met up with Ben 2015DIBGT. Ben was part of the inside showcase. Here are a few pics of his ride. The show was packed (over 1200 cars), in fact got there late and the meet and greet area was full so could not park onsite. Was still worth the drive to see a lot of cool rides

Wow, thats low. Looks like your front wheels would contact the wheel well when fully turned?

I've seen parked vehicles that have papers covering their VINs get towed. Soooo

I think you're misunderstanding when he's covering this up, and it wouldn't be in publicly accessible areas or areas the police would be checking; He's doing when he may be at a track, or otherwise doesn't want people scanning his VIN on private property. The same places people take their license plates off.

Well I was going to try to add some tape along the front/side splitters this morning but as I was stepping out the door, it started pouring so that'll be a project for another day I guess lol
