Right. I would not mind if my S550 had come with the following S650 goodies:
- charging port next to the rear view mirror
- wireless carplay
- hood struts
- (thatās it)
And the first two, I already solved via aftermarket. For the struts, Iām still debating whether I really care that much.
I used to be on the exact opposite of that philosophy. I would wait and buy cars after the 3-6 year cycles of the old/facelift model were over, and get into the new model with all the modern addons (automatic windshield wipers, auto-on head lights, Bluetooth phones, memory mirrors, parking...
It is only used to offer a wifi signal to the phones/iPads/laptops of people in the car in case they donāt have their own 4G/LTE plan or their provider signal is weak.
This requires an extra contract with AT&T, I believe.
I have the larger sync3 screen but I did not option the voice activated satnav. I am using CarPlay and Apple Maps instead. Does anybody know if CarPlay can tap in the carās GPS for better antenna reception?
If not, Iād be interested in removing it all. I donāt have a need for FordPass or SiriusXM.
For those interested, the advice from the other threads on this were: Check your Ownerās Manual for the āTelematic Control Unit ā Modemā fuse. As reported: Location #10 for 2019 Location #8 for 2020.

So glad they saved on the weight by dropping the physical buttons, dual eyebrows and heated/cooled recaros. Or by engineering flat-bottom steering wheels to save on that extra arc. /s
For those still unhappy, donāt forget to option the carbon wheels for an extra 8k. Your wallet will feel the...
⦠+ significantly better cooling
⦠+ all covered by factory warranties
And just like you said, if you don't need PP1, you donāt need better cooling. But thatās another big justification over the GT performance packs for those who want to track their car occasionally and donāt want the car...
Fun story: was never able to satisfyingly remove the lint until my iPhone fell into sea water at the beach. After a couple of curse words and hours in a bag of rice, the lint started to fall off on its own. I donāt know if I have to recommend or not :wink:
Also, cheap knockoff lighting cables...
Your car is spec-ed for or its appearance feels like itās ready for the track but you never take it there. You are just happy with the flamboyant and āhardā look of the car when it is parked, to talk about it and/or share pictures of it.
The term is normally used in an derogative way against...
For rental cars in Europe where the default is manual gearbox, it is useful to find where the manufacturer hid the R gear on that particular model. Thatās 50% of the clue. Then you need to know if you have to push, pull or force slide to engage the R. Or lift up a decorative ring (crazy Renault...
Looks like whoever made the call for the Mach1 white knob also influenced the Dark Horse titanium one.
From Raitiās Ride video:
Yes, the angle of that shot is skewing things a bit. But Raiti is actually pushing the knob to the right in that picture.
You can make up your own opinion by...
Makes me want to start a poll : "In my manual Bullitt / Mach 1, the factory shifter knob is centered on which gears? "
1-2
3-4
5-6
Somewhere between 1-2 and 3-4
Completely off
Is it just mine? Or are all M1 manual shift knobs off centered? Granted, it makes it easier to read the layout from the driver seat. But you really only need to read it once, so the convenience benefit gets old quickly, replaced by obsessive OCD.
The 5-6 are centered, but they should be on the...
