Please let me know and steps to do it please. Thanks. As supplied from Ford to your dealer, there is no homelink system. It can be added as a dealer installed accessory as part of the upgraded rear view mirror with temp display and home link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the thermometer probe mounted? Edit: I meant as an after market addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I'll tell you what...I read that part about the inflator... there's no way I'll remember all those steps. I'm still hoping somewhere we can find a spare that will fit in the trunk and still clear all the brakes. Come on aftermarket...give us a $50 wheel.

Edit: I meant as an after market addition. Yes, I have seen these somewhere...can't recall where. Not sure where the probe is. I do recall they were pricey...about $380 I think ..and I don't think that included installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 My rearview has a digital compass and is electrochromatic. Is that standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy Dave Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 My rearview has a digital compass and is electrochromatic. Is that standard? Not standard, but as pretzel said, part of the upgrade. There is a higher level mirror that adds temp and "Homelink", which is nice (but it's like a dealer add-on accessory or something...not available as an option). My wife has this on her Mazda. We have two garage doors, each programmed on different buttons. Very nice feature. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy Dave Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks, Dave! Here's one...not from Ford. Even more expensive. I have no idea how much work to install. http://fparts.autowebaccessories.com/store...-cat831_868.php Edit: Here's another...this is from the original manufacturer...so less expensive. http://www.autodimmingmirrors.com/newstore...entex-/c_1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud9 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Folks, I have not opened the manual yet so I was wondering if someone know if you could program something on the car to open a garage door. Please let me know and steps to do it please. Thanks. I had the Ford dealer put one in yesterday and it works great. It is an auto dimmer with compass and homelink. I have 3 garage doors, two at home (added one stall for the Shelby ) one at work, and I got tired of all the openers hanging off the visors. I was accustomed to using the Homelink, having it in my Infiniti M45 (winter/family car) and my wife's 300C. It is one thing Ford skimped on with the GT500 in their attempt to keep MSRP around $40k. I know it's not a muscle car must have, but I can't believe the factory cost difference between the stock mirror and one with Homelink is more than $100. Since my Shelby is a daily driver, I figured it was worth it to put in the upgraded mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500FLYBOY Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It lsits for $425, but can be found for $380-390. Temp probe can be put anywhere - recommended at the front of the vehicle behind bumper. I have install instructions in a pdf. Size is 620KB - too big to attach. I can email if some request it.

I'm still hoping somewhere we can find a spare that will fit in the trunk and still clear all the brakes. Come on aftermarket...give us a $50 wheel. all you need to do is get a GT spare. If you get a flat on the front, move the back wheel to the front and the spare on the back. then again, I wouldn't want to drive this car with a spare. So I removed my fix a flat and carry my cell phone and AAA card with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500FLYBOY Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I tired of the moving the transmitter around to use the visor - and I like the temp displayed. Truth is - the car should have come with this... Here's the end result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500FLYBOY Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I want one Do you just provide power ? Downside - the plug doesn't match the old mirror. And you need to run the temp probe wire somewhere. That wasn't too difficult. The hardest part - just getting the old mirror off. There's a little clip that you push so you can slide the mirror off the mounting plate. That's a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printmaster123 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Does anyone know what this HD receiver is? Add on? Entire new radio? Seems cheap for an entire replacement. I'm looking to install the Trip tunes for my iPod and I saw the HD rec. with iPod connection. Trip tunes is $250 why wouldn't I do this for and extra $50?

HD Radio Receiver, w/iPod® Connectivity Part Number: A7FCS-HDRADIO-B MSRP: $299.00 thanks This really needs to be in a different thread but, I bought and installed the HD radio upgrade with iPod interface. It is not a replacement head unit but a new plug in harness and 2 black box modules that mount in the console below and behind the radio. The ipod interface has a cable that ends up as a pigtail in the center console for your ipod to plug in to. The menus all interface on the factory head unit. Mine is the Nav unit so the menus are slightly different on the Shaker units. But it adds HD radio functions to your radio. The the difference in sound quality between the standard FM station and its HDradio version is amazing. FAR better than FM or Sirrius. CD quality. The iPod interface presents artist, title, track and playlist info on your head unit display and allows you to flip through your ipod music library by any of them. The title and artist are displayed on the head unit while playing. You select all music on the head unit, never touching the ipod itself. I bought a used gen3 60gb ipod and while it took me a few hours to learn itunes software and the ipod itself, the interface works fine if a bit slow. Selecting tunes on the 6 disks of mp3s in the head unit is much faster. If you want an ipod interface, it works as advertised. For me, I should not have bought the Ipod. The HD radio though was well worth the upgrade as a factory option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put on the Gentex (oem's the ford mirror) K50 with Homelink and temp on my wifes GT and could not get it off using a mirror removal tool. Brought the car down to the local Ford dealer and they could not remove it and recommended bringing it to a glass shop. The glass shop couldn't get if off using the tool either and ended up melting the mount button off with a heat gun. Getting the mirror off is definately the hardest part of the job.

switz Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 This is why I love you folks....I have hated the stock mirror and was not too pleased that it didn't come with a temp sensor. I ordered the one with the temp and garage door opener - on sale for $279.00. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
