    Bama tuned 2008 GT auto questions

    Thanks it does help. I hadn't seen any bad reviews of the BAMA tunes on an automatic. I will do some more investigating including looking at the Steeda. Where did you buy yours?

    Bama tuned 2008 GT auto questions

    I am thinking of buying a handheld tuner for my 2008 GT automatic but have a few questions before I decide. 1. Will the shift points be at higher revs in the daily driver setting? If so what is a typical RPM? 2. I live in Portland so we get a fair amount of rain. Will tuning be a problem on...

    Adding Nav to 2008 GT with Shaker 500

    I agree, navigation definitely has it's place. Having it as a back up plan is a good idea. I have an old Garmin Pocket PC with built-in GPS that I have used in a similar way to you. I just figure that if I am going to add iPod integration to my car, I may as well go the extra yard and add Nav...

    Adding Nav to 2008 GT with Shaker 500

    I am less interested in navigation as such. I am an old fashioned kind of guy and like to use a map. So the map display is more important to me than turn by turn directions. I like being able to see that a mile or so off my current route there is a lake etc. To me that is the biggest benefit of...

    I am also looking for iPod integration, so a new head unit makes sense to me.

    Thanks for the info. Do you have photos of your install? If so I would love to see what it came out like. The link to the unit on Crutchfield is Pioneer AVIC-U310BT Navigation receiver at Crutchfield.com

    Adding Nav to 2008 GT with Shaker 500

    So, I took a look at Crutchfield and saw the Pioneer AVIC u310BT listed for $399. It looks like it will do what I want. My question now is how do people deal with the installing/positioning of the GPS antenna, the microphone, and the USB connector for the iPod? It sounds like the best positions...

    Adding Nav to 2008 GT with Shaker 500

    What is the best way to add nav to a 2008 GT with a Shaker 500 system? I am thinking about adding nav and I am trying to find out what my options are. I asked a guy at CarToys and he was saying I would need to have all the wiring replaced. Is this true? Is there an alternative? What nav units...

    iSimple - iPod Direct Connect Kit for Ford

    Not on my iPod!!! That honor would belong to ABBA. Seriously though. Is that really the only drawback with this system? How do you access it? Does it replace another component?
