I have a CD slot mount from my previous car. I really liked it in my Focus, but it's an awkward position in the base Mustang. It covers up some climate control buttons, it's very close to the shifter and I've bumped the phone while shifting a few times, and frankly it sits down far too low out...
Sync is great for phone calls but not Waze and Spotify.
Anyway, the purpose of the thread is not to solicit opinions on whether in 2014 a smartphone can add to your in-car experience, it's to find out what people are doing to integrate it into their driving setup in a safe way...
I used to hold it in my hand but it always felt very dangerous. Once I got the aforementioned CD-slot Exogear mount for my Focus, I realized the necessity of having it mounted. It is so much safer and more convenient.
Has anyone come up with a good solution for mounting their phone and managing the charging cable?
I own an Exogear mount that fits in the CD slot. It worked great on my Focus, but on the base Mustang center stack, it covers up some of the climate controls and it's easy to bump with the shift...
I see; makes sense.
Of course, comparing relative gains vs. stock is the relevant criteria for assessing the effect of a tune (given that we've already bought the car), just curious about how to read the absolute measurements.
Can someone explain why the dynos being posted by these tuners show stock HP/torque numbers that are so much lower than what Ford rates the car at? Are they measuring differently or with slightly different units? Or is it just generally the case that manufacturers release HP/torque numbers that...
I'll be the first to admit that I'd have bought a GT over an EcoBoost if I felt able/willing to spend the extra money.
But the EcoBoost is great in its own right.
I just purchased mine at Koons Ford Falls Church. They honored the X-Plan pricing (including the $750 rebate) and the Black Friday incentive on my Ecoboost with performance package from their inventory (it was at the Sterling location and they brought it over same-day). I normally hate salesmen...
