Facts

  • Delphi announced the 2005 Mustang's colour-configurable instrument cluster as an OEM industry first, offered on base and GT models.[2]
  • MyColor blended red, green and blue LEDs through acrylic light pipes, using pulse-width modulation to set each colour's brightness, for six presets and up to 125 backgrounds.[3][2]
  • For 2010 SYNC became a factory option on every trim except the base model.[1]
  • For 2013, a 4.2-inch colour LCD between the speedometer and tachometer brought Track Apps with 0–60 mph and quarter-mile timers, plus a gauge mode for readings such as oil temperature and air-fuel ratio.[1][4]
  • Ford built the S197 from September 2004 to June 2014 on its D2C platform.[1]
