Northern CA between Yosemite National Park and South Lake Tahoe. Nice stretch of road, about 15 miles of canyon hairpins. I will post a few more videos, the turns get a little more intense as you get further into the canyon.

Well, made an appointment with Ford tomorrow to have my A/C checked. Let's see what they say. Car has about 800 miles now. Problems ironically didn't start til the track key was installed but that may he coincidence. Hopefully they do find a problem. From what I have been reading, the A/C systems are not to reliable on these mustangs.

I walked into one of the local Ford dealers yesterday to ask about the trackey and to my surprise the service manager knew exactly what it was. He took me over to the parts guy who also knew all about it. They ordered it for me and will call me to make an installation appointment when it comes in. Can't wait!

Depends on where you get it from. I got mine from Tasca so I only paid 330.00 shipped and got it in 2 days.

Did you have Taska install it ? I'm talking with them about it.

No, I don't live there. I just ordered it from them. Cheapest price by far. I had a dealer in Florida install it. For the most part that is. I had to finish the install myself with the Procal tool Ford Racing sent me.

Any update on the AC problem?

I've been following this for a while and I'm on the fence. I have had keys cut before at Walmart and programmed myself to the car. Then I would only need to pay the dealer for the s/w install.

Also, thinking of going to the track cal for the added feature of updating tire size but not sure it's worth the extra $$

You mean Tasca.

Are you dealing with the Berlin location?

I have noticed something with the TracKey that I have yet to quantify other than with my ears and human built-in accelerometer.

When I turn off Lope idle it seems I lose the more aggressive engine braking and the off-throttle popping from the exhaust.

I am going to mount a GoPro on the bumper cover near an exhaust outlet and record the sound during off-throttle deceleration with and without Lope idle active.

Maybe I can also try lifting the throttle from 40mph in second gear and see if there is a difference in negative forward g force using Harry’s Lap Timer and or the Torque App.

Has anyone else noticed this?
