Posted in stupid questions thread to no avail, figured I'd try here. My best friend has a 2001 V6 Ford Mustang and suddenly the airbag light is blinking an error code. It looks like 3 blinks, short pause, 3 blinks, then long pause. We're guessing this is a 33. From poking around on the internet, there was mention of the airbag light being triggered by the battery being under 8 volts, which happened when his battery finally completely died, and then it was replaced a month ago. The light started appearing around that time and after he replaced the battery it's been intermittent. I've found reference to code 33 being "passenger air bag - open circuit or high resistance" but I've found no info on what to do or how to troubleshoot this.

mcmagic posted:Can any of you guys who have bought Mustangs recently share how much you were able to wrangle off of MSRP for the cars? About 4000 below MSRP. (for a GT Premium automatic, in December) This included about 1500 in rebates. Now that the 12's are out, I would expect you could do better on '11s, but selection is probably pretty limited now.

Lovely. What are the odds that the only way to clear it is to replace something that costs a few thousand dollars?

From what I've been seeing it looks like airbag Code 33 is related to the seatbelt pretensioners. The only reference I've seen to this though is from a vehicle that has been in a crash and the pretensioners blew.

I waited 9 weeks(ordered late July, received early October) for my Mustang and the biggest variable is where you bought it. Smaller dealers have less allocations so it might be 4 weeks before you even get a VIN and a build date shortly after. Keep on top of the dealership.

Well since costco just does the haggling for you, you could haggle lower. Costco is good for cars that are in short supply since the dealer agrees to the price on several cars not just the hot cars. I was still able to get a cheaper price on a Prius then costco and at the time gas was $4 a gallon so they were hot, but not as hot as the radioactive ones you can buy now. (Is it too soon for Japan disaster jokes)? I hope AFLAC doesn't ban me.

After driving SUVs for the past 8 years, I finally moved out of an area where I'd drive up to the mountains to snowboard every other weekend and am now in the land of sun (California). As such, I've decided to get a convertible, and after test driving a few (BMW 335i, Lexus is250/is350, Nissan 350z, Chevy Camaro), I think I like the Ford Mustang the best. I've been hunting around online for more info and I've got a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to online, but I'm hoping people here can answer:
Any and all advice is appreciated!

Presto posted:Here's a PDF of the 2012 order guide, which should answer all this. You are amazing. I've been hunting around on google for like 2 hours for something like this. Thanks! Edit: Doesn't quite answer when the 2012 became available, or how the GT handles compared to the V6, but this is still quite useful. From everything I've seen, it's impossible to get anything in the premium package by itself, correct? I don't really want leather seats because I hate how hot they get in the summer, but I do want a better sound system and Sync.

The 2012s are just coming out now (or recently) so depending on your location, there can be limited selection. The 2011s are mostly gone, and the 2012s are just coming in. Due to the lack of changes, any reviews of the 2011 Mustang will pretty much hold for the 2012 models. There are lots of 2011 reviews online for both V6 and V8, which should give you an idea about the handling and performance. Car and Driver's review of the V6 Mustang (with optional 19" wheels and Pirelli tires) was very complimentary on it's road handling behavior but at the same time said it did poorly in their lane-change test. I don't think you can get the audio upgrades and Sync without the premium package, which comes with leather seats, fancier trim, and more power goodies. Dont'cha love how options are bundled on new cars?

I ordered an 11 a while ago (a base GT). You can upgrade the stereo to shaker 500 or 1000 from the base stereo (I did not). You are correct that Sync is only available with the premium pkg.

This is truth, when I was shopping the dealership was willing to put leather in a base GT for me for like $900 when I told them I didn't want a base GT they had on the lot. As long as you don't get a crazy interior color I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

You are correct that Sync is only available with the premium pkg. While this may be possible, I'll just chime and and say, on Ford's website, using the build-your-own feature for the 2012, you can't do it. If you pick the base GT it locks out the other stereo options. That being said, the Shaker 500 and Shaker 1000 don't exactly get rave reviews from many owners on Mustang forums. I have the Shaker 500 and it's "good enough" for me, but many owners say to just get the base stereo and go aftermarket.

I originally really wanted Sync, but I don't think it's music integration features are worth the extra cost, and it's not like I'm going to talk on my phone in a convertible often! I'll get the standard package for now and if I decide I want to upgrade the stereo, start looking into aftermarket options. Thanks for all of the help, I can't wait to get my car!

Pretty sure doing aftermarket in these cars is stupidly expensive. Just the replacement dash kit is like $300. gently caress that. http://cgi.ebay.com/2010-2011-FORD-MUSTANG-RADIO-DASH-KIT-COMBO-99-5823CH-/140428571297?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b231f2a1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010...5fAudioQ5fVideo shaker systems still suck huge amounts of dick though.

It's a shame Ford doesn't offer their butt coolers on the Mustang. I could see them being a popular option on convertibles with leather seats. I've driven a few Lincolns with them, and the sensation of cool air wafting up your balls/rear end is quite refreshing on a hot summer day.
