In the words of the great Ed McMahon, "YES! You are cor-rect sir!"

Notice the little defroster vents that were above the outer air registers on the 2005-09 are absent on the 2010- so they must be on the door.

Yes it will. The air will hit the corner and work its way up the window, to de-fog the window.

I just wanted to add to the discussion on the possibility (or lack their of) for aftermarket radios, and navigations systems with the new center stack? Just remember one MAJOR thing! If anyone orders a 2010 with SYNC but wants to change out the headunit, for an aftermarket radio or nav, YOU LOSE SYNC!!! So if anyone may be thinking of adding a navigation system aftermarket, just order the factory nav.

The problem is the NAV system (if it's the same as the Flex) is crazy expensive. You can get a portable NAV that does all that for less then half of the price.

Not true Mike. The Nav in the Flex can watch movies, store 2,300 songs, photos, and can do the whole "gas prices" feature, plus weather, sports scores, and movie listing, when Sirius TraveLink is subscribed to. Portable systems aren't built like this, with the ability to watch DVD movies and store that many songs.

Ditto. Just look through the Next-Gen Nav System Album Brad put up in the 2010 Mustang gallery. It's incredible and far better than anything currently offered on the market

That's great in theory, but when you're in a strange city, trying to find a specific location...driving while holding a map and attempting to read directions is not only unsafe, but **** near impossible.

Turn-by-turn NAV takes you right there.

And I know, because I've experienced it first hand. My friend used to have the same attitude; saw NAV as a complete waste of time for techno geeks only. We went on a trip into the States recently, and I used the NAV in my car to find specific locations for which I had NO previous topographical bearings, and it took us right there.

By half way into the trip he was amazed and couldn't stop singing the praises of NAV.

Couldn't agree more buddy! While I know my area in SE Pennsylvania pretty well, I take my car to ALOT of shows in New Jersey, and Delaware, and that is where my sence of direction ends. My Pioneer D3 has saved me PLENTY of times. The best was when I went to Canada for the MCA National Show. Once we went over the boarder, the system got me right to the hotel with no trouble, and the QEW was confusing. I love my nav in my car. It makes driving more fun, especially with the iPod adapter hooked up.

yea i agree i want the nav because im tired of using mapquest when i dont know where exactly im going because it isnt necessarily the safest thing to do and not as convienient as the nav screen will be.

I mean't no disrespect Boom, lol. I got thrown for a loop when I saw the sign for how far the Ford Plant was, until I realized that the distance was in Kilometers and not miles. Once I switched my nav system to KM, I was fine. \

And I gotta say, the people at the show were the nicest folks. Remember I'm from outside of Philadelphia, so when everyone was saying hello and asking how I was, it was VERY refreshing.

Oh, totally mine. It was the 1st time I was ever over the boarder. And yes, my club who joined me (10 cars), we had a BLAST!!! Just waiting for the October issue of Mustang Times for the pictures and write-up of the show.

+1. When you get a hello down here, they usually want something from you!
