Just recently hit the 15,000 mark and is due for her full 15,000 mile checkup today. Had to reflash the computer back to STOCK , she feels sooo powerless now without the tunes. On the other note, she will be getting a new trunk panel (where the trunk light and emergency release are) because mine keeps falling off and she will have the driver side anti-theft system sensor looked at because that one does not want to set off the car when i stick my head or my hand through the window. Somethin is def wrong with the sensor, so in hopes I will get her back all nice and new 2morrow.

 

I have to take mine in sometime soon to have the chrome IUP bezel replaced because mine has a blemish, and I don't wanna leave her there all day.

***UPDATE 2***

Dealer called me, inspection is complete. She is good a new!

In regards to the the censor, the whole light panel has to be replaced because of a bad sensor. And i was told that this item is on "NATIONAL BACKORDER". Seems that this is a hot item and everyone has a bad driver side sensor. So for those with the Anti-Theft, I'd check out your driver side motion sensor to see if it works!

The trunk panel was fixed.

And the inspection cost me $45. Not too bad, even thought I was told that it was gonna cost $100. But the guy told me it was going to cost $100 if the CABIN FILTER had to be replaced. Wow! 50 Bucks just to change that out!! Anyways, just thought I'd give everyone an update of the pony and let them know about the driver side motion sensor that seems to be a fix and is on National Back Order.

 

Guess I'd better check out my sensors tonight.

 

I have the active anti theft system. How does one test the motion sensor?

 

Roll down your windows, turn off the car. Get out of the car. Activate the alarm. Stick yourself through each of the windows to see if it sets off the alarm on each side.

If the alarm doesn't go off on one side, then you have a bad sensor on that side.

If the alarm goes off on both sides, then yours are fine

 

"2005 Mustang GT Black Premium - didnt get the sticker, wasn't in the window"

That's a $10,000 fine if they get caught on that one.

So they weren't able to tell the computer was flashed? That's good to know. A lot of people, myself included, were afraid to flash tune b/c maybe the dealer could tell it was done even though it was flashed back to stock.

Thanks

 

As far as I know, they never knew it was flashed with a Tune!

 

how does the sensor work if you have a vert?

 

The motion sensor does not activate if the top is down only when the top is up.

 

I believe you have to wait 30 seconds for the system arm, at least you do with the intrusion sensors.

 

100$ for the cabin filter????

WTF - that is not covered while under warranty?

:angry:

 

It's a filter like any other.. i.e air filter, oil filter..

Just a lot more expesive filter

 

I'm going to test mine when i get home, how do you shut the alarm off ?

 

As far as the cost of filters go, wait until you buy an air filter for your Stang. I think they are about $50 bucks.

 

mmm. This may sound like a strange question - but I got a great deal on a used 2005 GT. I'm wondering how to check if your computer has ever been tuned - and if so, how to flash it back to stock. Do I need special equipment? I just want to make sure I don't go to the dealer for my 5000 mile check in and accidently invalidate the warrenty ...

Any feedback would be great!

 

No no no, $100 total for the entire service. I think its like $20 for the filter and probably an hour and a half to remove the cabin filter. It doesn't cost $100 to do just the cabin service. $100 total to my service for everything including if I had to have it changed, but it didn't need to be changed. so it came out to $45.

 

I'm sure your vehicle is fine. Don't have to worry about the stock settings, cause in order for the person, who orginally had it and if he had a tuner, in order to use the tuner on his for another vehicle, he would have had to flash the car back to stock to use on another vehicle. Trust me, your fine.......

 

Sweet!
