  1. Sync voice commands for USB audio (selecting/playing tracks by folder)

    I was looking at an old list of SYNC voice commands for navigating USB or SD music by folder, and utterly failing to get those commands to work on my 2018. I guess the command list I had doesn't reflect all versions of SYNC, or my voice is unintelligible. But what I'm trying to find are voice...
  2. '18 double-honks when idling and I close any door

    When I get out of the car with it running (in PARK), with the keyfob in my pocket, it double-honks when I close any door (even the passenger side door). So every time I get out of the car to pick up my mail, and I open/close the pass. side door to put the mail on the seat, honk honk. The manual...
  3. Why aren't power windows always energized

    I can't tell you how many times I've had to walk or run the 200 yards from my office to my car to roll up the windows when it starts to rain unexpectedly. The worst part is that when I finally get to the car I can't just hit the window switch--I have to get in the car and switch it to accessory...
  4. Trip computer-calculated Fuel Economy accuracy

    This is just an observation about the trip computer on my 2018 GT; in urban driving my actual fuel economy calculated "by hand" (well, using pump values for fuel used, and the odometer reading for miles driven) is consistently about 1 mile/gallon worse than the fuel economy the trip computer...
  5. Couple of Track Apps questions (speed timer, lap timer)

    Just wondering if the speed timer (0-60, 0-100 etc) determines speed based on the speedometer, or if it uses the accelerometer data like a G-Tech? Aaand a question about the lap timer: Ford documentation says it "Calculates average speed based on driver-entered track distance." But I don't...
  6. How to clean out gap between windshield and roof

    There is no molding or trim between the windshield glass and the roof, leaving a gap just large enough and deep enough for small leaves and twiglets to fall in and wedge down in there where you can't easily pick them out. Is there a clever way to clean debris from that narrow channel? Concerned...
  7. Exterior sunshade/partial cover

    For those in hot climates, does anyone have a recommendation for a partial-type shade or cover for the windshield or the top of the car? I don't mean the fold-up interior kind, i'm thinking of something more like the "Cool Cap" thing linked below, or a windshield-only cover (there are tons of...
  8. Question re: disabling Advancetrac

    For a 2018 GT premium with A10 and 400A, but without the performance pack, just wondering if there's any way to fully disable Advancetrac (stability control). I know that "Track Mode": is supposed to "relax" it, but I think it's still active to some extent. The toggle switch for traction control...
  9. Water from rain building up inside doors

    This is the first rainy period my '18 GT has gone through, and I've noticed that when the car has been parked in the rain, when I open either door quite a lot of water drains out from the bottom front area of the door. It seems like the doors must have some kind of drain hole there which is...
  10. With "Standard" gauges, can you get oil pressure reading in PSI? ('18 GT)

    Wasn't sure if this is the right subforum, but it does relate to the various instrument cluster display options... but with the "standard" gauges on an '18 GT Premium, in Gauge Mode, for oil pressure it just has a line that says "Normal" or something like that--no numeric readout. For some of...
  11. '18 Mustang: center console compartment light

    I guess this is normal, but I noticed tonight that after shutting down and locking the car, the center console compartment light stays on for some time. Even with the lid closed I can see it shining through the latch mechanism. I'm just OCD enough that I hate walking away from my car wondering...
  12. "Gunpowdery" or sulfur smell from leather steering wheel

    This is pretty bizarre, but I'll just throw it out there... after driving my '18 for a week, I've noticed that the nice soft leather steering wheel leaves my hands smelling kind of like gunpowder or sulfur. And if I accidentally rub my eyes, it burns like I've been handling hot peppers. The odor...
  13. Good quality die-cast models? (esp. 2018)

    For each car I own, I try to find a matching die-cast model in 1:18 or 1:24 scale. Preferably down to the matching color and trim level, if possible. Anyone know of any die-cast models for the 2018 GT? A high-quality 2017 might do in a pinch, esp. if it is in Red.
  14. Steering ratio kinda slow ('18 GT)

    Only been driving it a few days, but I notice the steering ratio on my new GT seems slower than I expected (and feels slower than my '11 GT). To make a sharp curve or 90 degree corner takes more steering input than I expected for this type of car. A Motor Trend comparison showed a 16.0:1...
  15. 2018 seat belt loop thingy

    Question about a quirk I noticed on my new '18 (might be on other years too...) The seat belt has a funny sewn loop or fold in it. It seems like it might be to position the buckle or keep it from banging around. I just wanted to make sure this loop/fold is "normal" for a delivered car, and...
  16. '18 power seat creaky

    I'm not even an owner yet, but I test drove two '18s with power seats, and noticed a creak from the seat when I would apply the brake or gas. Sounded like it was from the seat base or track area but could also have been from the lumbar or the seatback hinge. Any owners notice something similar...
  17. Ride quality/tire & wheel options (19s vs 20s)

    Anyone have the 265/35 tire option (20 inch silver wheels), as an option on a base GT suspension car? Just wondering if the ride is livable on moderately rough-ish roads. Any sense of whether a base suspension car with the 20"/265/35 tires would ride better, worse, or same as the 19"...
  18. Question for '18 GT owners with A10

    I was just wondering how snappy off the line the car feels, with the stock tune. On my 2011 with the six speed slushbox, the throttle response from a stop was kind of sleepy and mushy. It did not respond like you'd expect for a 400+ HP ponycar. (A tune helped considerably). I'm hoping with...
  19. GT Standard vs GT Premium--seats/audio

    This question probably comes up a lot... but I'm currently driving a 2011 GT Premium, which has done really well, but I think pretty soon I'll be moving to a new car. With the Mustang (especially the V8 models) creeping up in price, I'm starting to wonder if the "standard" GT with cloth seats...
  20. Are stock splitter and/or side skirts removable?

    I don't have a 6g Mustang yet, but I'm kind of mapping that out (I have a 2011 GT which has served well), but on the 6g I'm not really a fan of the OEM chin splitter, or the side skirts. In general, I'm just not crazy about black plastic trim on cars, I like the monochrome look with everything...
