I have the Mycolor cluster and up until recently I've always kept the gauges red. They are now blue and last night I noticed that when the engine hits redline, the tach changes color to red!

How awesome is that?

Am I the only one that's never noticed that before?

 

If I recall correctly, they should all turn red when you get into the red zone. Such as being low on fuel, engine running hot, etc.

I always keep my gauges on red, so I don't ever get to see it either.

 

Yup, most everyone with a premium car finds that out eventually.

 

Everyone that gets wild with them, anyway!

 

Kinda wish I had his feature in my base GT, but my shift light on the iPhone as part of Harry's lap timer pro gets the job done when I set it up

 

Must download this app.

 

When you guys are on the throne solving the worlds problems, you should read your owners manual! Lot's of good stuff in there you may still not know about what your Mustang can do.

 

How is the shift light on that app? I've got DashCommand and Torque and neither of them work decently as a shift light.

 

Why have a Mustang if you aren't going to run it hard at least every once in a while?

 

Read the owners manual???

That's like getting directions when trying to find the place you want to go, no challenge in doing that...

 

Yep, I had this happened on my car as well. Not sure about the cool factor though, I was rather worried lol. Red Gauge is not really my theme, reminds me too much of our sister nemesis. Although it would've been cool if we could get the center consoles to match the color.

 

I think it works pretty well. The whole iphone screen changes to red background with a shift symbol. Since I have the phone connected to the OBDII port through a GoPoint BT1 OBDII interface that runs at 5Hz, I get 5 data samples/second so the shift light is quite accurate. I can program it for whatever RPM I want, and it's proven to be quite helpful.

I'm not sure if it will be active if not recording laps though, have not tried it outside of a track environment, as I don't really wail on the car (or care about getting right up to redline) for nearly all my street driving.

 

I wish with myColor (even though i dont have it) all the illuminated buttons and what not would change colors as well. Its kind of weird looking havin a blue or green cluster but everything else is still a light blue.

 

Yeah, it also happens at 147 for stock cars. Along with the tach going red, there is a little hash mark about half way between the size of a 5mph and 10mph hash that lights up on the speedometer under the needle at 147.

 

Huh, I never noticed that!

 

I wish it came with the track pack

 

when i hit red line just my tach goes red and when i have low fuel only my fuel gauge goes red and all the needles go really bright. they must have changed it up for different options or something.

 

I guess I should clarify. I meant each individual gauge will turn red, as you stated. I just mean that all of the gauges will do it, if they get into their own red zone.

 

Haha I notice it... frequently.

 

Oh that's really cool! So, if the engine is hot, that gauge goes red... if gas is low, that one goes red?
