I'm busy dreaming about my next Mustang. My must-have list: Mach 1, handling package, ball chillers, active exhaust. Looks like I'm all good. But... my 2018 has all that, plus... My Color selectable colors for interior lighting. With the 2022 configurator, I can only get MyColor with Recaro seats - and no ball chillers. No deal.

So, questions:
1) what color does Ford select at the factory for my lighting? White, maybe?
2) Can I forscan my way into selecting a color I want anyway (I currently use blue, but sometimes I feel red)?

I feel so stupid getting stuck in a backwater created by some Dearborn desk jockey...

and no ball chillers
is this "code" for ventilated seats? May I suggest Boxers or Commando? :)

I think the configurator is very much wrong. You need 700A for my-color, sure but there is zero reason for it to be further dependent on Recaro. Talk to your dealer ordering specialist.

clearly says Mycolor is included. So this is yet another of MANY outright false-hoods by the Build and Price website program logic.

There's a difference between MyColor on the instrument cluster vs. ambient (cabin) lighting:

And if you click the little plus, it makes you get recaro seats. It also says this in the description:

So it's "available" (i.e. an option) on Mach 1 Premium.

I think that's just a build and price error. Pretty sure MyColor and ambient lighting is on anything that has the Premium package.

Yeah I also believe it’s included with the premium version of anything. I think it’s listed separately like that just because of the way things are packaged together. You should see one that says mirrors and ambient lighting preset. I think the presets are only with the standard seats and not the recaros. So if you choose the recaros it would remove the listed option of mirrors and ambient lighting, thus needing a separate option for just the ambient lighting when the recaros are chosen. It is misleading though because it does look like you have to get recaros for ambient lighting, but I don’t think that’s the case.

My balls have been just fine sitting right next to my swamp ass for 4 AZ summers now. If you have to ditch an option I do t think your junk will mind.

I noticed this myself when configuring my car, it definitely makes it look like you have to drop ambient lighting for heated & cooled seats. I kept the leather seats with 401A and you are correct - I just checked on my order in Ford's system (got scheduled last week) and it does show Mirrors and Ambient Lighting Pre-Set in the accessories list.

They don't provide any details on what that actually means though. Hopefully it means the actual ambient lighting you would expect. Guess I'll find out when my car arrives around September.

Fwiw, I did find this random Youtube video that shows the ambient lighting, and they've got leather seats.

I do believe anything that is premium defaults with mycolor for the cluster and ambient mycolor lighting. I did not have to opt into anything for my premium Mach 1 premium and came with MyColor for the cluster and ambient lighting. If it was the non premium version it may have to be added seperately, although, it is not something I have checked.

Just checked and the Mach 1 defaults with MyColor and ambient lighting as well no matter if it's premium or not.

I'm on B&P now and it shows a base Mach 1 (600A) has My Color for both the dash and the ambient lighting. That's because the 600A starts with a 301A package that includes these features. The seating has nothing to do with it.

Now if you want Recaro's you are going to give up all of the comfort settings. Been that way since 2015.

Also this. The 700A has everything the 600A has.

That's not correct. They're the same Ambient Lighting. From the ordering guide:

The only option that changes the ambient lighting is if you get the memory seats, which changes the pre-set to go with the seat memory settings.

When you pick the separate Ambient Lighting box, the configurator thinks you're picking it because you want Recaro seats, which don't come with it as they don't have a memory function.

The configurator Is not the clearest thing in the world.


TLDR: Every Mach 1 has Ambient Lighting with MyColor. If you get cooled seats, you're getting 700A, which comes with MyColor Ambient lighting settings that change with the seat memory selection as well.
