This is required by the EPA/mileage police. Go to any high performance car forum where the vehicle has AS, you see the complaints.
Why? Well, the mileage figures are predicated on AS buying you just a squirt or two of gas every time you stop. If you turn it off, you defeat this. For carbon...
Frankly, I just want to feel the bass in my butt. I had that in a H-K system in an AMG I owned. The subwoofer was a huge box under a panel in the hatch area. I think they abandoned the spare tire to make room for it. The vibrations were awesome.
Yep and not a bad idea (reaching out to Lumen). This thing has taken on a life of it's own with me, but then again, the OCD-like curse of being an engineer.
Having spent quite a bit of time analyzing the 'system", I think there is more to this than just tapping into a wire under the dash. I also think this might violate warranty and if a trailer accident occurred, it could be problematic.
What I would like is to hear from a Lumen or RedArc engineer...
Devil! I thought it was a lamp. Apparently the earlier RedArcs had either an LED or an alignment pin for the little hole in the bezel. The instructions even say to drill two holes. I could not for the life of me figure out what that small hole did as there is no LED or pin sticking up out of the...
What's laughable is that the instructions say 30 minutes!
I have already spent hours planning the install--we'll see if I can do it in 30 minutes :LOL:
Got my Ford authorized TBC kit today. All the goodies are there, now the fun begins. I thought it interesting that two of the most important parts (if you want the 'factory installed look'), the heat-shrink connectors, were in a small bag stapled to the box lid. I wonder how many guys will...
The head turning, the slowing down to take a look...yeah!
On the operational side, the lane assist thingy. Talk about self-driving vehicles! Of course, nanny knows when you are fully hands off and tells you to get your hands back on the wheel :facepalm:
How firm is the 1,000 mile restriction? This car knows its mileage and it knows when a trailer is attached, will it squeal to Ford if I tow before the 1,000 mile break in? I am at 400 now, but am concerned about getting to 1,000 before I need to tow. My limit is 7,500 pounds and the trailer with...
