It's true. One dial for temp, one for fan speed, one for the blend door position. You only need two buttons. One for AC and one for recirc.

My non premium 16 is sort of like this. Its a lot uglier with a smaller screen but the physical buttons make sense and I don’t have to worry about fingerprints.

Yeah if it's non premium you get hard buttons. If it's premium you get to deal with the Sync bullshit for most climate controls, which is an example of the exact problem carplay/android auto was built to solve. Car manufacturers loving suck at designing interfaces.

My biggest complaint with sync 3 is that there's no way to default to Bluetooth for audio.

The HVAC is fine. Set to auto, adjust up/down as needed. The screen is no big deal if you really need to adjust more than that. Easy enough to press HVAC select the zone and turn the fan up.

One problem I’m running into with Sync 1 is that it doesn’t do anything as fast as when it was new with my iPhone 6s. It used to index my music quickly and was a breeze to navigate quickly with the physical buttons, which is what I wanted when I bought it.

Now it takes 5 seconds to register an input and if I try more than one input during that five seconds it eventually pauses in a tantrum and I have to try again. There is no fast track skipping whatsoever without going back into the menu, which may take another 5 seconds.

Is there a way to update or reset the car software?

I ended up turning CarPlay off. The now playing screen looks like garbage imo. All I want to do is play music via USB and make calls via Bluetooth.

My uncle has sync in his car and its complete SH*T, It takes forever to do anything with it.

I had a basic cd player radio w/ BT for a long time and I bought an Pioneer AVH-2300NEX receiver and its AMAZING! it does everything you guys want a radio to do w/o any of the bullsh**.
It did take me a long time to figure out the wiring, and now I even have a backup camera. Everything is up and running, but the cam is in my trunk.
I am still scared to drill a hole in the trunk. I really need to do this in the next day or so.

I'd like to like auto, but sometimes my feet get hot even in auto and I want to specifically cool them off for a few minutes, and if you're in CarPlay that's not "easy enough" imo. I want a big fat blend select button like my '12 has :colbert:

So after some research it turns out my car is several versions/years behind and that you can update it via usb. The newest one addresses exactly what I’ve been whining about so fingers crossed I can see some improvements when I update this weekend.

Upon inspection of my Mustang I have noticed that the headlights have gone completely foggy again. I called up another body shop and explained how just 6 months ago before I put the car away into storage I had the lenses polished and they looked great.
I asked them if they could polish my lenses and apply some clear coat on them and guarantee it for more than a year. The guy said when headlights are cleaned multiple times it means it time to replace them. The guy said he would look at them and charge me $50 if he thinks he can fix it for a long term.

Now I may have to eat my hat if I replace my headlights because last year someone on this forum said just replace them and I said no its cheaper to just have them polished. I may not be able to do the polish method anymore.
If I do replace them I really do not want to spend $450 on OEM parts (I am generally leaning this direction, but frig it is freaking $450!)
I am afraid if I do buy the clones for $50 to $100, they will just be sh**.

if I look at aftermarket there are some options, the Dual Halo lenses are out of the question though. What do people think of these https://www.americanmuscle.com/94-04-black-projectors-dot.html there are 2 headlights w/o the halo but the lenses are smoked hiding the fact that they are not quite stock. Opinions?

Consider picking up a set of depo replacements instead of tyc. I've had the chance to handle a multitude of tyc products and a depo headlight that was shipped to me by mistake. They're pretty much universally bad. You can definitely feel a difference in the quality of the materials. Hell, even cheap rear end spyder aftermarket assemblies are better quality than tyc.

My 04 GT has a weird rattle/whining noise coming from somewhere on the right side, and it’s driving me insane on the Autostrada. It doesn’t manifest on lower speeds, and I have no good idea how to look for it.

My 16 does this at highway speeds. Sounds like a bit of loose heat shielding or something but I haven’t gotten a chance to peek at it.

With the car in park and the engine on, open the hood and pull the throttle linkage that will simulate the higher speed and you can maybe see where the rattle is coming from if its an engine issue?

the only things that could rattle on that side that i can immediately think of...
is the air filter or pipe to the throttle body loose?
is the belt slipping/old?
is the idler pulley needing to be replaced? thats my go to guess.

Any pointers on where I could pick these up? I agree on TYC, but I'm having a heck of a time finding DEPO anywhere. Mostly ebay listings that say "this tyc headlamp will replace the depo headlamp for this car".

(2000 Mustang GT Coupe, for reference.)

Makes me wonder how far they are from 100hp/L in the standard GT. Pretty sure that would be an all time first for a truly standard production American V8 that isn't some sort of special edition thing.

TYC headlights

LITERALLY O M F G

You guys are right. They are terrible.

Actually the light part of it seems to be perfectly fine, every single part of the manufacturing process must have been from a child using Google 3d studio and ms paint to 3d print this thing.


With some of the weather stripping pulled back, you can see there is gaps into the headlight and a ton of extra glue all over the place.


There are these bits of seran wrap like tape that is melted to the weather stripping.


The weather stripping is not long enough to go around the corner of the head light. When I took it out of the box it looked fine.


The light bulb aim adjuster is literally half an inch away from the bracket, the screwdriver has to go in at an angle to adjust.


the drivers side adjuster is in the correct location for reference.


The weather stripping is not long enough to go around the corner of the head light. When I took it out of the box it looked fine.


There is a huge hairline piece of plastic scratch on the inside side of the head light. You cant see it unless the sun is directly shining on it.

Opinions on shiftknobs, I have a white ball for a B&M shifter. I want something new and cool, but I dont want a shift pattern or a brand logo on it. it also needs to have a 1/2-20 thread.

I am thinking a red #3 pool ball or something would be kinda cool. but whatever ---- recommendations.
