It says on the first page of the product information book that the mustang has "...technologically advanced sound systems, climate control, and advanced saftey systems....".
What do they mean by this? From the pictues I've seen the system doesn't appear to be advanced at all....am I missing something or do they only mean the sound system is advanced? If the climate isn't differnt than any other car why do they mention it on the first page? :scratch:

Probably better placement and mechanics of the vent system. Thank god it does not have auto climate control, they are the biggest pains in the hiney, you just end up fighting them all the time. :notnice:

The '05 Mustang will probably be my first Ford purchase since 1990 (1991 Ford Explorer in May 1990 - major problems!). I want it to all be good, and work well.

I got a question about some of the information in the product info book as
well.
On page 5 it states "Short drop door glass - The door glass automatically
lowers some when the door is opened, then rises when the door is closed.
This allows the glass to clear the weatherstrip during closing. ..."
Does this mean if you have a dead battery, you can't open and close the doors?
well.

Its talking about the glass in the window, not the door ... and the drop down/push up is done mechanically, not electrically.

I noticed a comment about the "Anti-Tow" sensor.
It says since car thieves are just towing cars away, it will alarm if the car is inclined to a "towing" level. Does this mean if you car is legitimately towed away, it will alarm. And since there is a high capacity battery to keep it signaling longer, it will alarm while sitting in the tow trucks impound lot.

Its electric like the T-birds, as soon as you pull the handle(before releasing the latch hardware) they do it

Don't leave your lights on and you won't have to worry about it.

As for the drop-down windows, Grantsdale is incorrect -- they are purely electrical and if your car is out of power completely (not gonna' happen until 2019 when your 2005 Mustang is headed for the $1000 Used Car Lot), I think they open, but won't close back up.
Remember, they drop so slightly that you won't get wet in a storm if they do drop and stay dropped.

In a press release from Visteon, it mentions the following.
Which I assume means the vents are controlled electrially rather than being vacuum actuated.
Visteon has provided climate control systems for prior generations of Mustangs, but the Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (HVAC) system on the 2005 model sets a new standard by featuring single-zone electric manual climate controls.

The dual zone climate control on both my 2000 and 2003 Lincoln LSs work perfectly. A couple times a year (spring - fall) I'll bump the temperature down and up a couple degrees, but other than that, it's set it an forget it.
I sure wish that the climate control and heated / cooled seats like the LS has were an option on the 05 Mustang.
