I've seen some pictures of the message center that say "Clear for Take off" and "Welcome to Mustang Source" - are these photoshopped or does the IUP have a programmable welcome message?

I've not seen anything in the press releases that mention this...


If it's there, what's yours say?

 

Laurie, I am going to move this into technical, hopefully someone can give you an answer

Welcome to the boards btw

 

No, you can't program the message center with messages. That would be cool though !

Welcome!!

 

it'd be interesting to see those pictures.. i'm sure one can tap into the EEPROM where the message text is stored and mess about a bit, never seen or heard of it being done though

hey.. we're neighbours :P

 

Yea my welcome message says - "Low Fuel" and probably will say that till gas prices start to go back down

 

I noticed that too, Paul!

Whatever you have the message center set to display, it will automatically switch over to the "Low Fuel - ** miles to empty" when the tank drops bewlow a certain point; about the 50 miles to empty mark, I think.

 

Thanks!

 

They were on the '05 Wallpaper page...

I've cropped out the dial and uploaded to my own host...





Would be nice if there's a way to do it through the OBD connections if it's not a standard feature... wonder if these were real or if they're photoshopped then...

And yup... you're a short drive away How's your Stang coping with the summer heat? No problems?

You have V-kool in Dubai right? Looking at those large fast-back windows, I think V-kool is going to be my FIRST addition!

 

Mine tells me I don't drive it enough. Only 4,000 miles on it since May.

 

Mine moans out that one lonely song.
"DRIVE ME"
3600 miles since 05-05-05

Would be cool to display customizable (new word?) phrases.

NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH
GOING TOO SLOW
MUST PASS CARS IN FRONT OF YOU
FUEL DEPLETION NOT FAST ENOUGH
CARS IN REAR GETTING TOO CLOSE
IDOTS ON ROAD AHEAD (Although this one need not be displayed to be apparent)
IDIOTS ON READ BEHIND YOU (See above)
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING HEAVEN
0 MILES TO PARADISE

 

LOL LOL

 

Yes, it says "Thank God you didn't buy a GTO"

 

We need to find the person that did this:





(BTW, found this pic in the cartoons thread that GhostTX posted)

 

yup, we've got V-Kool, Solar Guard and others
i've installed Solar Guard on my tibi, the shop here is called AfterDark (by Lamcy Plaza)
the film gets cut by the computer to an exact match of your glass, with a lifetime guarantee against fading, scratches, etc..
cost me around 1,500Dhs ($400 USD) to get the sides and rear 40% black, and a transparent UV protection for the front.

the mustang is yet to come.. her birthday is probably next week.. still waiting on my dealer here to give me the DORA so i can finally call up the ERL and add some dates on my signature

 

I love the CDC glass top and will be ordering one of those and apparently it has a solar film on it already... and the windows will definitely get V-kool... I want the open-top feel, but I also want the protection against larger SUV's that the hard top will offer over the convertible... and I also don't want to be like a greenhouse in there!

I remember looking at a Lumina SS Coupe (GTO for the americans here!) a while back and it had been parked outside at the dealer... VERRRRRRY hot interior and I think anything with large aerodynamic windows here NEEDS V-Kool or something similar.

DORA? ERL?

Did you custom-order yours then or did the dealer just not have what you wanted in stock? My local dealer has a red GT coupe with a red interior but it's an AUTOMATIC!

Why you would get a red sports car with an auto I have no idea!!!

 

I hate when it does that :notnice:

 

That eyeball is freakin me out! :shock: :shock:

 

 

DORA: Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgment
ERL: Evil Robot Lady

basically whenever a dealer places an order with ford, they receive a "DORA" which can then be used to track the order status by calling the ERL number and providing the Dealer code and VIN (all found on the DORA)

i initially ordered a screaming yellow manual GT (same specs as in my signature, only difference is the color), but they messed up the order and got it Auto..
was left with 2 options, either i wait till March 2006 for the next shipment which would have a manual screaming yellow.. or i change the color as the yellow was already built auto

long story short, i'm now waiting for my Tungsten grey 2006 due anytime in December

EDIT: i'm now waiting.. i'm always waiting!
note to self: no more posting while drunk

 

Your not waiting for it? What you do?
