2011 GT - Spedo Sucks
Am i the only one that thinks the placement and style of the spedo sucks, i cant tell exactly how fast i am going, looks like im going 70 and im going 65, think they should have put a digital display on these cars like the Camaro. I have to leave my GPS mounted just to be sure i know how fast i am going.
Do they make a small digital display i can mount somewhere? hate leaving my GPS on my windown all the time

You could always get an SCT touch screen Xtreme and mount it. I'll bet you'll eventually get used to the speedo, though...

I am just like you though: I have a windshield GPS mounted up and I use that to get my exact speed. Besides, when going into a curve and you are holding the steering wheel turned a little to maintain the turn, your hand and steeing wheel spoke cover up the speedo.

I haven't ever really run into issues with the speedo myself. Generally whatever my speedo says I'm doing, my GPS always agrees with. Maybe it just takes some getting used to, but at least for me I found that although sometimes i have to move a bit to take a look, it isnt too bad.
I don't know that I would've liked a digital readout in the mustang. Yeah it would be convenient but it would also hammer the retro look to hell.

iTSX replaces TSX, that is, when iTSX is released to be sold.
What iTSX is is it is not an actual physical tunner, it is a software app you upload into iPad, iPhone, iPod, and it comes with a bluetooth wireless OBD2 dongle you plug into the port.
You then can load your tune from you iPad, iPod, iPhone as if these were the TSX tuner. You iPhone/Pad/Pod IS the tuner!
