The BRZ FRS twins use a mix of port and direct injection as well. I doubt it's for valve cleaning although it definitely helps with that. Something about max efficiency under different conditions. I do wonder what the limits of direct fuel injection is though. Its got to deal with the size of...
I'm game for meth but I would like to see a kit that works with the Cobb so that I don't have to make sure my tank is full every time I drive. I haven't really checked to see if that's an option yet though. I just finished putting downpipe and exhaust on an otherwise stock car at 3500 miles so...
I have the PP with manual and my dash display says 23.9 but manual calculations give me 22.9. This is on 93 octane and over a ~3300 mile period. I changed the factory oil at 500 miles with motorcraft semi synthetic 5w30. And changed the diff fluid with redline 75w90. The MPG started going down...
Bummer. You haven't checked the pin outs for them to see if just one or two wires was changed have you? Not sure if they have a sticker on top with this info or if it has to be looked up online.
Not sure that you have the same cord that I do but I had to cut the pins in half with some wire cutters to get them to go far enough in the back of the holes in that plug. Yours might be a little smaller I can't quite tell from the photo.
The kits already installed I'm just not looking forward to programming the presets. And on top of my electrical engineering degree I installed car audio for a year or so in my late teens early twenties and trust myself more than any shop.
Honestly I'm still on the fence. The pain with a aftermarket unit is that the only space to put it appears to be behind the radio buttons, the cd slot is the top of the actual unit behind the dash so anything will be mid dash which would be a pain for viewing. I still would prefer to go that way...
Bill,
To set a preset you go to Browse -> Artist -> Channels or Browse ->
Songs and pick you channel. Then you use sync voice activation to
activate repeat by saying REPEAT ONE. Then you press and hold the Seek
Up button until you get "P1" or "P2" next to it depending on which
preset you are...
$250 from ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Sirius-XM-satellite-radio-kit-w-TEXT-Vais-GSR-041-SiriusXM-tuner-2014-/391169658514?vxp=mtr
It's the same model listed on the Vais site as being for the 2015 Mustang.
I've gone through every menu option with it and no luck finding a way to set presets. I'm hoping it will be an update like you can theoretically do via the microSD card but am not holding my breath...
Thanks a lot jerks, couldn't have waited until after the sale was over to start this thread? My bank account will never forgive you :P Here's hoping mine will get here soon!
I might just try moving the antenna first then. I could always use double sided tape on the outside of the rear window at the top or something. I can't remember the exact error message but it's something along the lines of USB device not supported. Also it doesn't have the option to store...
I have had this unit in my car for about a month. I still ended up taking apart a good part of the dash so that I could mount everything behind and out of the way. About every 3rd or 4th time I go to use it there is a malfunction, just like when I'm trying to stream audio from my phone. I need...
Wow, I would like to see the rest of your garage floor... from that pic it looks clean enough to eat off of!
As a side note I agree that it doesn't look like anything to worry about.
I haven't been able to find a spec for how often it should be changed. I'm assuming Ford says never to keep maintenance costs down on paper. I'm planning on changing it again around 30K
If you leave it in gear while coasting to a stop you will use slightly less fuel than taking it out of gear as soon as you decide to start slowing down. This is because the car doesn't need to add fuel to keep the engine spinning. I don't think this is a big enough amount to be noticeable in...
