I agree 100%, I have a 2.0a trickle charger I use during updates (or just in the garage parked).
I am just providing the Ford literature... and replying based on Fords recommendations.
according to the Ford update manual, you can drive it around like normal, Some Sync functions and Navigation will be disabled (A/c will work as normal)
Sync software can be update via WIFI in your garage, however, the Maps update is 15GB+ and is too large to download via WIFI, you will need to download the update to a Flash drive and update manually. i included the instructions above
Ford paperwork does state the engine has to be running (I am assuming to keep from killing the battery)
It also states you can drive during the update but some Sync/navigation features would be disabled until complete
A/c controls will work normally at this time
Fixed the images that didn't load...
you have to go to syncnavigation.com/ford, enter your VIN, and download the map file and license onto a 16GB (bigger preferred)usb3.0 flash drive.
then plug it into the USB port in front of the shifter, start the car and it will pop up on the screen if you want to update.
Note:
You will need to...
I was wondering the same thing.
was looking at going to 265/40ZR19 Proxes Sport from the factory 255/40ZR19 Pirelli's
I had the Toyo Proxes S4 on my Steeda Fusion and loved them, tons of grip, good ride and quiet but doesn't seem to be anyone really talking about Toyo's outside of the R888/R1R's.
that would look sweet with everything wrapped in gold heat foil, especially if you had a black Mustang or on that 2015 Apollo Charity Mustang
Imagine walking by an open engine bay covered in gold heat foil in the bright sun at a show.
Stay away from Gateway, they are strict as hell, you cannot park on grass, cant park on the side of the street, cant paint your house certain colors, basically Gateway is a PITA when it comes to HOAs, my wifes Aunt and Uncle finally sold their house in Gateway after trying to sell it for almost...
Scratch Gateway area and most of Cape Coral (city has too many damn stupid laws) off your short list. North Lehigh, East Fort Myers (Shores), Alva, Olga and the Buckingham area is more rural with relaxed neighbors.
what areas did you already have in mind?
I wanted mine to look different/cleaner but still "look" stock unless you already knew it was supposed to be Yellow or Black
and cost was free as I already had a can of Black Plastic Dye one the shelf
and with the dye, you can sand off the top layer after its cured to reveal the yellow design below
I believe the "Pony Package" chrome trim is the same as the 50Yr trim (actual quarter glass is of course different)
18 pony package pic for reference
19-20 Bullit trim is also chrome
If I remember correctly, when you make a call thru the Sync system, the car will reduce the a/c fan speed during the call to minimize wind noise on the call and returns the a/c to previous setting after the calls ends.
Now with that being said, since you removed the Sync head unit and replaced...
the yellow/white hazing is actually the UV coating and a small amount of the plastic being worn away by harsh sunlight and road debris such as sand and rocks. (here in South Florida, the sun just eats away everything)
So yes, the headlight protection film works wonders to keep new headlights...
the little kits for polishing headlights works great but...... they will not stay that way long unless you coat the headlight afterward with a UV sealer and I don't mean the $5-10 stuff either. you need a 2-part epoxy type sealer or a UV activated sealer and neither are cheap. the one I use is...
