It's just a call center with people working of if/then scenarios in their call app. Going off script is hard for some of them. ;) Simply explaining I had it added after purchase got it straightened out.
Yep. Buckle your seatbelt.
Drop the mic
I am serious though as well... if you buckle your seatbelt before you start the car, it silences the chimes.
Wow I never knew that :headbonk::doh: I always assumed it was just a normal startup chime, I didnt know it was related to the seatbelt, I typically get in, start the car, then reach back for my seatbelt. :shrug:
Or if you're like me you disable the seatbelt reminder with a Ford IDS before you stop working for the dealership :first: I move the car around a lot and take short trips through the neighborhood to visit buddies and I don't usually wear my belt out of habit/i'm going 10 mph. Much like my old shitty 95' sierra, i don't mind a reminder light but I hate it when it dings at me.
Doing a quick search with part numbers, the base and premium clusters do not differ. To me that suggests that the base cluster should have the hardware required for mycolor. Like I said though, when I reprogrammed the IPC, MyColor did not appear. I wonder if it was actually the BCM that needed to be changed.... I will try tonight after class and report back.
I'm not suggesting this is true, but would an automaker ever do domething like just list the more expensive part with the MyColor hardware for all models if it is compatible with a car that doesn't have MyColor? In other words save money with a part that doesn't have MyColor on the assembly line but make a little extra profit selling just the MyColor part in the parts department?
