After reading all (and I do mean ALL!) of the posts since May (when I found out I couldn't order an '05 from my favorite dealership), I've seen many interesting posts about things that didn't work quiet right and resulted in TSBs, or neat undocumented features that folks on this forum were happy and willing to share.
So I'll start this one off. Having heard that the active anti-theft feature to lower the windows when you unlock the doors was deactivated by Ford due to some problems, the first thing I'm going to do when I pick up my '06 is see if Ford figured out the problem and reactivated it.
Also, I'm not seeing any information in the '06 owner's manual (downloaded from Fleet Ford website) regarding the low tire pressure monitoring system that I thought was supposed to be mandatory in all passenger cars for '06. I seem to recall a thread that said this may have been changed to '07.
One last thing. I'm going to lower and raise that top a few times to ensure a good alignment before I drive away from the dealership.
So, what will you check out first on your new ride???

One thing I have noticed on my top is that when you have lowered it and it stops, give it just a couple of seconds and push the button again. Mine really seats good on that second push. Also remember to latch the driver side first. Don't fight the latches and they won't fight you. If you ordered the boot. you will be pleased. It is VERY nice and well engineered. Have fun!
