Mustang speed sensitive steering wheel option
Hi there. I drove my friends 2012 Boss 302. And found one feature about the speed sensitive steering wheel. You can select comfort level of steering. It's was nice and had questions does anyone know how to get it in 2010 mustangs. Is it a software upgrade or a part upgrade required. Anybody here done it ? Thanks

There is one person on here (s/n is LEXiiON) attempting the EPAS swap on a 2010, but it's not for the faint of heart. If you're serious about it, maybe PM LEXiiON for more info.

It can be done, but you need the following:
A 2012+ instrument cluster
The 2011+ EPAS rack
The connectors (I got a salvage harness from a 3.7)
Either a 2011+ K-Member or some welding skills to add the additional bracket
A new FEAD belt that fits without the old PS pump.
Swap, wire it up (only 5 wires, battery +/-, fuse 47 and HSCAN +/-) and you are good to go.

I had a 2014 rental in Virginia and yes I could feel the difference, especially between comfort and sport...
Once I have some time, I will put it in. Everything is ready, except the bracket on the K-member.

I usually roll in sport mode, just because I prefer heavier steering. But on long trips with lots of highway driving I put it on comfort and it really helps.
It's more noticeable at low speeds.

****, I have the steering features on my car and always assumed they were gimmicky and not much different.
My wheel has been set to normal and I've never tried the others. I need to research exactly what they do now.

So sport mode offers the most resistance, normal a bit less, and comfort offers the least resistance (most assistance).

Perhaps it's just my imagination but I've noticed a bit more noticeable difference in the Sport mode now that my Mustang is lowered about an inch with the Eibach Pro Kit springs. Steering seems tighter and corrections are more responsive.
Or I could be full of crap.

While your car is not moving or just barely moving like pulling into a parking space , turn the steering wheel. There is a HUGE difference. At higher speeds, you may not notice it much .

Yeah I just tried it while driving slow, now I can see a difference while turning.
