Replying to: evandro (Sep 08, 2005 7:13 am) >>>One car hardly call a figure averaged over 3000mls exceptional              Your comparing the MPG on a commute to work to the MPG on a trip across the country. Apples to Oranges.   >>> But the more astonishing of all is the Corvette: it can easily average 27MPG on the highway, with 400HP to tap.        If you gear anything tall enough it will get 1000 MPG. The Vette has enough torque that they can put a real tall final gear in it. Replies to this message: evandro (Sep 09, 2005 8:43 am)

Replying to: 5port (Sep 08, 2005 2:48 pm) If you follow the threads carefully, you'll see that I replied to a post reporting the highway mileage of the Focus. Thus, apples to apples.   I posted other times that I get the same mileage in my Focus when commuting as in my Bonneville and Intrigue, cars almost 1000lbs heavier and more powerful. Oranges to oranges.   Bottom line: the Focus is a little gas guzzler. My case is not exceptional, but, apparently, the norm, given so many posts reporting similar numbers.

Replying to: evandro (Sep 05, 2005 2:38 pm) 200 miles is not an accurate way to measure gas mileage. it needs to be done over at least a thousand miles, or so(multiple fillups).

Replying to: abacues (Sep 15, 2005 9:08 pm) Don't know if you have found an answer to your question, or if this will help at all, but I had CD player fail after just 2,000 miles. The kind members of the Freestyle forum were generous enough to share this with me. Good luck!   Printable View (10 KB) TSB 05-10-19 INTERMITTENT CD PLAYER CONCERNS - AUDIO UNIT PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION (PMI) REQUIREMENTS     Publication Date: May 16, 2005    FORD: 2005 Five Hundred, Focus, Freestyle, Mustang, F-150 MERCURY: 2005 Montego    This article supersedes TSB 05-06-09 to update the service procedure.    ISSUE: Some 2005 vehicles built before 2/24/2005, and equipped with a 6 disc CD player with MP3 capability (e.g. radio must have MP3 logo present), may exhibit one or more of the following intermittent CD player concerns.    CD player skips repeatedly Locks up when playing certain homemade CDs Displays "Error" or "Bad Disc" repeatedly Will not accept CDs CD inoperative or inconsistent playability of some CDR media    ACTION:    Obtain detailed description of symptoms reported by customer. If issue only occurs with a specific CD, examine the CD causing the concern. Confirm that it is in good condition (e.g. CD is NOT chipped, warped, scratched, labeled, or contaminated). Replace radio with latest service level through your facing audio service center.    SERVICE PROCEDURE    When replacing the audio unit (radio) on 2005 Freestyle, Five Hundred, Montego and Mustang vehicles it is necessary to perform programmable module installation (PMI) prior to removal of the old audio unit. This information must be uploaded into the new audio unit once installed. Failure to perform PMI on the new audio unit may result in inoperative backlighting and/or diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2477. It is not necessary to perform PMI on the F-150 or Focus.    If communication cannot be established with old audio unit to download this information or if old audio unit is not available, as built data will need to be entered. Use NGS+ or PDS scan tool to complete the operation or follow the procedure below using WDS:    With radio (ACM) DISCONNECTED, start a new WDS session (delete existing session if started). After WDS identifies the vehicle, select Toolbox > Module Programming > Programmable Module Installation > ACM. Follow WDS prompts, connect radio (ACM) when prompted to "install new module", hit tic mark to continue. WDS will prompt for as built data. Enter as built data and finish following prompts until "module configuration successful" is displayed. As built data can be obtained at the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website or at www.motorcraft.com. For additional information, refer Workshop Manual Section 415-01 and 418-01.         PART NUMBER PART NAME -18806- Audio Unit    WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage    OPERATION DESCRIPTION TIME 051019A 2005 Five Hundred/Freestyle/Montego: Replace CD Player (Do Not Use With 18805B Or 18805C) 0.7 Hr. 051019A 2005 Mustang: Replace CD Player (Do Not Use With 18805B Or 18805C) 0.9 Hr. 051019A 2005 Focus: Replace CD Player (Do Not Use With 18805B Or 18805C) 0.4 Hr. 051019A 2005 F-150: Replace CD Player (Do Not Use With 18805B Or 18805C) 0.3 Hr.    DEALER CODING BASIC PART NO.

Replying to: abacues (Sep 15, 2005 9:08 pm) Same problem with my CD player in my new 2005 Focus. I had it to the dealer 4 weeks ago and still waiting for a replacement, the part is back ordered. I even made a call Ford directly with no resolve... It seems Ford is having problems with this unit and the vendor that supplies them... I would suggest you call Ford to register your problem.
#574 of 614 Features Programming by evandro Oct 09, 2005 (4:05 pm)
Does anyone know if it's possible to program some features, such as audible or visual feedback when using the key fob, when and which doors lock automatically, etc?   TIA
