Been using the FL820 over and over. It's the smart choice.
I think it's a single use item ducking

Installed a Soler Performance throttle controller, then went for a drive to check it out. It's going to take time to find the best settings for various situations. Nice little unit that responds instantly to changes from the phone through BT.

Along the way I stopped by a self car wash place and finally cleaned off the New Mexico trip's filth. Just in time for a small snow storm tomorrow. 😬

Installed my boost gauge today; Now I just gotta wait a few more weeks until the boost is installed to see it work :) Pretty simple install, even swapping the bright chrome bezel off to the satin was an easy task.

On my convertible, I made a lot of progress in swapping to a 2018+ digital instrument cluster, and also just received a set of 19x8.5” wheels that will be mounted with new tires soon to replace the stock 17x7” set on this car.

On my coupe, I installed 2015 Anniversary Edition brushed aluminum dash trim (just like the convertible already has) to complement the rest of the interior upgrades I did to this car before.

Drove it home after SB, looks pretty neat with the pony lit up in the snow and the DD sidemarkers.
So much traffic (everyone leaving parties at same time after SB) and the black ice was horrid. Even with winters (Sotozzero 3), had to toggle Snow/Wet mode on, so it made the throttle really mild cause hoo boy, slick.

My MA1 from Amazon arrived yesterday. Will review in the next few days in my ancient thread asking about wireless Android Auto adapters. Won't be much comparing it to wired Android Auto though because I refuse to take my phone out of my pocket so have never used Android auto before.
Been using it for a few days, works perfectly so far! One hiccup where Android Auto wouldn't load but turning off the car and back on fixed that immediately. Recommend it.
I hate taking my phone out too, that's why that stupid "Not Provided" pisses me off so much. It does it for wife's F150 too with my phone, so something tells me my Samsung is the culprit.

Interesting that you've never really used AA. I use it basically daily and it's a must on long road trips. Although I like more complete navi from the car in my cluster, the inability to see alt routes easily or easily adding favorite spots (like I have in my Goolge Maps) is one of the reasons it's AA for me.



Lucky you guys for getting your hands on it. Can't wait for mine. March 27th from Amazon right now. Don't know if it's chip-related (probably), but it's virtually the first approved one, so it's popular.
Tried on Target, but people must have bots/code written to auto-buy on Target, because this is what happened to me:

Lot of good the alert of "back in stock" did for me, it was literally seconds up and then poof. Gone.
Just checked back on Amazon for this now. What is a $90 product (and still listed as that on Target, despite being hopelessly sold out), this is what Amazon now shows...
Not only do we get ADMs on cars, we get it on AA dongles now too? Scalpers are trash:

Who in their right mind would pay $275 for this? 205% markup...

I'm sure those are independent sellers rather than Amazon themselves. eBay was full of offers for similar prices from people who probably bought as many as they could from Amazon and/or Target for $90 just to flip them.

And FWIW, my order had an original estimated delivery by Amazon sometime in March and I received it last Tuesday. Hope yours arrives early.

Actually I've used both and will accept either. I'm not even sure which is which at the moment LOL.

I know one is available from the Ford dealer for only $5, while the FP version is around $14.
The Ford Performance 820 is not built like the everyday FL820. Two totally different oil filters.

Right, I'm guessing that, but how does Amazon not shut that shit down?

they would require that they first care. Since when does big business care about policing themselves or their vendors.

Amazon loses money running the store, and quite a lot of it. You would have to implement a flagging system and then manual review. That costs money in wages even if it's pennies on the dollar Indians. I deal with Amazon on a professional level (AWS, the group that makes huge money) and their so-called support right royal stinks.
