The problem was a faulty APIM. Unfortunately it took three weeks to get the part shipped from California. Now theyāre installing it today and say the navigation software wonāt download. Iām wondering if it is the wrong part; could it be an APIM without navigation? Iāll hopefully have a fully...
I started the car to drive home from work and found the touch screen totally dark but the radio was still playing. The tuning knob worked though so I could change stations.
I hoped when I got home and restarted it that it would return to life. Nope. I'd get a quick flash of screen upon...
First track day with the new '18 GT this morning at Raceway Park of the Midlands in Iowa. I made it through two 20-minute sessions before getting the axle warning about 15 minutes into both the third and fourth sessions.
Downtime was only 20 minutes between sessions because the 85-90Ā°...
Another satisfied Schroth Quick Fit customer here. I use them for autocross and track days both; they're great, and made a huge difference for me since I didn't realize how much I was "helping" the car by leaning into turns, and sliding around in the seat on hot days.
Install on the 2018 is...
I ordered a 2017 rear seat belt receptacle and it indeed accepts a wider latch than the ā18. I switched them out and the harness belts work great now! So there is a workaround. Order part FR3Z-6360044-AB. I used FordPartsGiant.com; it was under $20 including shipping and I had the part in a...
I got the same error. Looks like the hosting company has switched to a subscription model and has locked the map because the allowable number of free accesses has been reached.
I discovered yesterday that my Schroth Quick Fit harness belts that fit in my 2013 V6 arenāt compatible with my 2018 GT. The problem is the harness belts have a 1ā tab width to plug into the rear driverās side female receptacle, but the factory belt is only a 7/8ā tab width so the receptacle is...
I did! He did mention I could go the Rallye 4 route but bolting in all 4 doesnāt sound like fun.
Now I just need to figure out what model years before 2018 have female receptacles that accept 1ā width tabs and use the same size bolt to mount under the seat. I would think 2015-2017 would be...
I talked to Schroth. They were unaware that the ā18s were incompatible. They also said the belts arenāt modifiable so their recommendation is to find a different female receptacle. They say that the ā17s are compatible so maybe I can just find a 6G belt that isnāt ā18 rather than a 5G.
I...
Yeah, my son is 14 and almost as tall as I am. Iām glad I have the truck; I nearly took the Mustang to pick him up at school and sure enough he and his friend needed a ride to after school activities today. Iād have to put one of them in the trunk-mine of course since his friend was much more...
Reassembled. I didnāt have to remove the full panel though.
I hadnāt thought about the liability issue. Iād be disappointed if I had to buy a new set, considering I just bought the belts in June of 2017. I thought about finding a female receptacle from a 2013 and putting that in the back seat...
The rear loop didn't need any adjusting; it was already bent to fit the 2013.
Yes, I had to make a fairly long cut in the bottom of the panel to get the anchor through. I bent it to make it more or less parallel to the factory belt.
Since the front tab is 7/8", it should be easy enough to...
So I got the install done, but... in my 2018 the front female receptacle takes a 7/8" tab width as does the rear receptacle. In my 2013 V6 the front was 7/8" but the rear was 1". So the latch on the Schroth for the rear seat belt receptacle is too wide.
I'll have to talk to Schroth; American...
Itās true-I experienced a wide range of emotions in the 10 week wait. The best thing I did for myself was take a short vacation to get my mind off of waiting. But itās all worth it in the end when you finally take delivery, and you will soon. All that said, I donāt plan on ever special...
I'm curious as well as to the easiest way to accomplish the install. I took my Quick Fit belts out of my 2013 and was all ready to put them into the 2018 and then noticed the difference in the front seat belt mount.
