Trying to pre-order a Heatshield brand Sunscreen for the GT500 before it arrives and their website is asking if there is a "windshield sensor". If you have the Technology Package, does that include the windshield sensor? Thanks

P.72 of the 2020 Mustang Owners Manual in reference to the Autowiper feature says,"The feature uses a rain sensor that is in the area around the interior mirror."
However, I could not find anything that specifically said Autowipers were part of the GT500 tech package.

I have the TP and there is nothing on the windshield for auto wipers, they're the old fashioned way but at least they have intermittent. :-)
Thanks...it's likely the same at my GT350 & Bullitt then. Much appreciated.

How about a differential cooler on the GT500 ??

Thanks

And if memory serves, it's down below on the passenger side below the headlight. The extra oil and one other heat exchanger are on the driver's side I believe but can't recall what the second one is for.

The diff cooler is in the rear of the car, up inside the rear diffuser.

That got me to thinking, Jaime..I knew I had seen a photo of all the heat exchangers and I did but it took me awhile to find it. This is from the Engine and Transmission section of that eSource book.

I guess I just read over that the first time thinking I knew what it said but now, I don't. What are they talking about when they say, "Auxiliary radiator oil cooler" if you know (and I bet you do.) :-)


..and it includes this photo:

Basically it's the engine oil cooler, and it looks like a small radiator, and it's on the passenger side of the front grill.

They mention radiator "oil" but I believe its referring to "coolant". So, secondary coolant cooler, looking like a small radiator, its on the drivers side of front grill. This is probably the supercharger heat exchanger (I haven't looked to confirm).

Ahhhh...now THAT makes more sense, Jaime, thanks. I was pretty sure there weren't two. As you said, basically an aux radiator.

Edit: And after hearing about Steve's rock hit, I'm hoping someone comes up with some sort of screen or other device to minimize the hits. Those corner coolers are low.
