Sorry for sounding stupid, but how do you access that gauge detail screen i'm seeing in your pic ? :shrug:

Hey Dan,


When the code is changed, the trans temp will be included in the list of gauge details accessed through the left cluster on your steering wheel and displayed in the dash's center screen. :cheers:

SoCal, Matt or E-piphny,
Does changing that code also include the trans temp in the 'analog' display options that we can scroll through?

Haha not at all! As knowledgeable as we may think we are, you're never done learning new things

You can access the gauge detail screen by using the arrows (top left) on the steering wheel. If you're looking at the digital speedometer, just keep pushing up until you hit the gauge detail screen.

You can also access it by pushing the left arrow on the steering wheel (may need to push it a few times). This should bring you to the main menu, showing all of the different car menus like: track apps, gauge mode/detail, trip/fuel, driver assist, settings, etc.

Yup! I knew I should have taken that photo :headbonk:

But ya if you go to the transmission oil temp and hit the right arrow on the steering wheel, you can view the analog display as well

Any conclusion on the exhaust valve..being able to keep it shut?

Im interested in that remote start

Not sure if it will work in a Ford MAnual Trans. Remote starts generally only work on Automatics for Ford.

Yeah, unplug the motors with the valves closed.

Can my KIWI3 OBD reader do the same ?

Did you try it with your KIWI3? PLX says that it supports Ford MS-CAN.

Just wondering before I purchase....

At minimum, the interlock on the clutch would need to be bypassed. Ford doesn't have remote start on any of its manuals AFAIK, so this would need to be some sort of aftermarket flash to make that happen I think. I'm not sure what would happen if you had the clutch switch closed all the time.

I just know Ford doesn't offer it in manuals for a reason. Maybe liability?

Well trying to start a car in gear would be bad lol

Guess i'm gonna have to start learning the different buttons on the steering wheel. :headbonk:

Thanks guys
