i just got my car 6 weeks ago 2nd owner car at 14,000 miles now still under factory w

so learning about my car reading the owner manual and of coarse many searches on the web, forums, 2014 ford mustang GT searches i just want toi make sure that everything that is supposed to operate is, so i seen 1 time that when we turned on the HVAC system it showed a fan icon in the 2 inch tech display area then it disappeared, my thought was that icon is supposed to show when the fan is on, so i did some research and ONLY searched my type display, i do not have the NAV system or the automatic HVAC system nor the SYNC system and then on one of these Mustang programs forums (I have joined 7 of them in the second week of owning my car) it's great sources of shared information and fun to speak with other Mustang owners, tech people and OEM aftermarket people. then i found out on a VIN breakdown on the web per my VIN i am supposed to have a compass, so cool. I took my car to a local Ford dealership, advised them of these questions, and i get it, not all of the service department advisors are completely experienced in every one of there car models ( I have worked in the Service industry for over 33 years and H.D. truck dealerships for 25 years) so he thought it should be there too.
come to find out for 2 days in speaking that the technician spoke with Ford tech support that my car model (a base GT) does not have a display for the fan blower motor that is ony if you have the automatic HVAC system, however again i did record photos online of non HVAC systems that show the fan icon on the display when on, then again they state my car does not have a compass feature either because i do not have the reverse feature built in to my reverse mirror which would include a compass system, again i have record photos from the web that on a base GT model they show these features, I am not a person to argue to get my way or cause a seen (again been in service for 33 years, i have been around mean, upset customers and I have respect for my fellow service people out there) i do like this particular dealership but i somewhat disagree with their answer soooo guess i just live with it unless someone can prove otherwise. any Ford OEM warranty people in here ?
and then of coarse i was total bummed when i wanted to install the NAV and SYNC system but found out you cannot because that is an order package only there is a completely different wire harness behind the dash and they said they cannot modify that, I get i know about spec'd trucks for wire harnesses per specific Vin's. good news is AM sells a Raxium non SYNC NAV Bluetooth system for $599.00 and i'll be doing that later, in the mean time i got my phone wired to the aux radio to listen to my music, bummer is my sound is locked out to 50% because i only have a mykey and i need to purchase a admin key $200.00 that's the next purchase for me in couple weeks. but i do love this car, been doing research for the last 2 years, was trying to get the 2013 Boss 302 but was out of my price range and this car fell in to my lap, unbelievable how it all worked out.

You might want to use spell check and also use proper punctuation. It's very hard reading your post. I decided not to finish because it was just unbearable to read!
