Drive slower. lol

What if they put one on the left side of the column where they could also have the iPod/iPhone/Other cradle? Basically an aux input in the console and another one over where the light switch is along with a spot for phone/music device.

Down for that. I never even use the outlet between the vents. I don't want wires hanging all over the place.

I use that 12v port all the time when I'm using my phone for navigation. I bought a short 6" black iPhone chord and a back stubby 12v power plug. It's perfect for me.

Thats going to have to come down to Microsoft. Which will cause trouble for Apple users like we see now (Sync can't read iPhone text messages last time I heard). I'd rather have an Apple system integrated than something Microsoft creates any day.

On a side note, Apple is looking to get into the car software market as well. Basically with most manufacturers other than Ford.

Good g*d, no. We need smart usability not features that aren't needed.

Yes but I don't want to see me Mustang colors on a Fiesta, Exploder, F150, etc either.

Which is already the way it is anyway I guess.

Smart usability? You mean limitations and controlled.

These recommendations are based on my experiences with my 05 GT.

I don't want to see a passenger wiper blade stop right between my eyes and deposit heavy rain from the right side of the windshield right in front of my face. Might as well be driving impaired. Redesign the wiper transmission so it stops the passenger blade 3-4" more to the right.

I don't want to see the Canadian version GT speedometer with the 40/80/120 km highlighted. 60/100 which are more common speed limits are barely legible and worse with sunglasses worn. C'mon, if you can highlight all the numbers on the Boss and GT 500 you can do the same for GT. Better yet, get rid of that retro look and put a larger more legible instrument cluster together. I like retro looks but there's no need to use it if it make the vehicle non-functional or a safety hazard.

I'm no engineer, however I don't want to see a transmission that has the shifter mounted between the transmission and vehicle chassis. I've never had a manual transmission give me 2-3 shift problems shifting under high torque. I feel the shifter should be mounted solely to the transmission to avoid any chance of flex when engine is torqued.
