Mustang "Under the Skin"

[RMS550]

Just ask your dealer...
I called mine yesterday after the publication oft the documents, and he told me the bad news :(
Sry for no written source.

Time has proven that you were right!
In the meantime ACC, BLIS and a few other things have been removed from the Ford EU Under the Skin.
Shame, shame,shame

:eyebulge: Damn!!
They published an updated version of english and italian PDF with those features removed!

@Felian88 seems that we made joke of your dealer but he knows better than us :(

However that front image has the lower grille used with ACC:

I have seen a youtube video with a guy complaining about that ugly grille, and turns out that you have this grille with ACC because the speed sensing array is behind that lower grill and they could not use the other grill as it would not keep debris off the sensor and it would not run properly.

But I agree, if they removed them from description, we will not have that for sure.

EDIT: this also can confirm that ACC is not present:

ACC has two arrows here instead of reset/cancel button.

Grille is also used where cars have the block heater (which euro cars do).

'normal' cruise isn't even mentioned in the revised info sheet. Surely this will come as standard?

 

[papinist]

You're right, block heater..
I hope that basic cruise control is standard, since buttons are present on the steering wheel.

Cruise control isn't even mentioned anymore!???
So far for the most technical Mustang ever, considering the high density traffic here in Europe, ACC and BLIS would have been very handy.
Ford should have taken these in an extra options list, I'm pretty sure that a lot of buyers would have taken these. Surely I would have.
I can foresee the future, that the 2016 EU versions might have this as an option, so the Mustang fanatics with their 2015 models are left in the cold.

I have been told that all modern cars being build these days have all the wiring in place (LOOMS) even if you don't have a certain option or function the looms with connectors should be there for future installation of a certain option.
Ive been told this by a Renault dealer while we were discussing the lack of the memory seats in the EU mustang. He said don't let any dealer charge you for wiring and stuff, only parts an labor since the wiring should be in place already.
If anyone can confirm this, go ahead! thx
So I assume if what Ive been told is correct, it should be possible to add options like ACC, BLIS etc. in the future as well.

I hope it could be true.. But some time ago I read that Ford removed all exceeding wires to cut costs..

I'll ask Ford service but think we might need a real car to find out correctly as info on EU cars at Ford US service is rather limited...

This could also mean the cables are present for a dash panel with gauges ... and as mentioned in another thread, these are available!

I was told by this dealer that they would cut more cost's by producing a one fits all loom (multicable) rather than making several looms. Still eager to find out if it's true though! Maybe one of the custom parts manufacturers on this forum could confirm this.

 

[papinist]

If we find out this to be true, my first mod will be to add the center dash gauges!!

I do hope Ford is just testing the waters and with upcoming years they'll offer equal options for the EU Mustang as they do with the US Mustang.

Fore sure they will...but we don't want to wait for these options !! We want the car, NOW!
Maybe a swap in a couple of years will do the trick..but with this single cable story a number of options could suddenly become reality with the use of some creativity and sites like e-bay.... :clap2:

 

[papinist]

True, but even in this case we probably need a reprogramming of some sort.. Like for memory seats, there are options regarding them in settings menu, but in a car without them these will probably be hidden.
