How about approx. 20 kilos of hidden crack? There I was cleaning up my new GT Coupe this afternoon when I bent over to pull up the trunk mat, my pants split wide open and there it was... 44 pounds of crack! Sorry, I'm just in that kind of mood.

I think that if you have your MyColor set to red, it will turn to white to warn you of low fuel. I've heard about this somewhere. My wife had about 8 lbs of paperwork in the passenger seat and the airbag was disabled. Pretty cool.

That's another feature. When your gf sits in the passenger side it lets her know she doesn't weigh alot. The stang is complimenting your gf.

Supposedly at night with the color changing gauges the fuel gauge will turn red when you're down near empty. I haven't ever seen it happen though. The coolant temp, battery, and oil pressure gauges will supposedly do that too if something goes wrong.

I can attest to the fuel guage lighting turning red. Only because I ran into the problem of having a fuel float/computer issue, and occasionally it'll think I have no gas at all. The fuel guage itself (none of the other guages) turns red reguardless of which color you have selected. I thought that was pretty cool.

What I think is cool, is that after to turn off the ignition and remove the key, the radio keeps on playing until you open the doors. You can also roll the windows up and down. (just in case you take the key out and forgot you left the windows down.

I think the purpose of this thread was to list electronic "Easter Eggs" that are hidden in the '05s computer, particularly in the message center. Easter Eggs are unlisted hidden extras found in an electronic program that are usually found by entering an unusual input. For instance - pressing a certain combination of buttons (Info, Setup, or Reset) to access a digital tranny temp, digital readout of amps charging, oil life remaining, change your turn signal chime, etc. Easter Eggs are more often than not hidden in DVDs and videogames, accessible by entering codes or selecting hidden items on the menu screen, but there have been instances of Easter Eggs popping up in late model cars, specifically in digital read outs.
So who is going to tell us the code for changing the turn signal. That is one I would like to know.

I guess the spirit of John Delorean was pissed that the Mustang is doing better than the GTO and tried to get us thrown in jail!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nono:

if your motor over heats it will shut down a few cylinders from getting spark and fuel to essentialy pump air to cool the moror and if it stays to hot it will eventullay shut down to save it self and alow you to restat when it reaches a safe temp.
I read that in my owners manual and thought it was cool

Its called the Passenger Classification System. If no one is sitting in the seat, or if a child belowe 40lbs is sitting in the seat,the airbag will automatically deactivate. It protects the child and lessen the cost of wastely repairs in the event of an accident. Maintains the value better if no airbag deploys. Also the system can tell where someone is sitting, the angle of the steering wheel, the distance from the wheel, and whether or not a driver is wearing a seatbelt....based on all this information it will deploy the airbag at certain speeds. It will know if things have changed and deploy at the need speed. (i.e. if it sense that you are too close to the steering wheel it may deploy slower to prevent further injuries. When i say slower, i say from 180mph, to maybe 110 mph.)

Emmmm...While I agree that the feature is there to make sure that the airbag does not deploy if a child is sitting in the front passenger compartment (which is dangerous instead of life-saving), the car doesn't measure the "angle of the steering wheel," for the very simple reason that (1) there is no steering wheel for the passenger (no, really!), and (2) steering wheels on the 2011s--at least not mine or the ones I've seen (someone correct me on this?)

Yep... I have a 99 mustang and (although i don't remember the pattern or "code" to do this) i could make my Odometer into a digital tach. It was pretty cool, but you had to repeat the process every time you turned the car on

I found a penny in my trunk under the liner yesterday.
Also, MyColor says you cannot adjust while driving. Wrong! Just let off the throttle and adjust away.
