Any new features added besides the colors? Does anyone know if the skip-shift feature has been "skipped" for the new year models?

 

SkipS*** is unfortunately here to stay, at least for awhile.

As for other differences between the '12 vs the '11, the '12 gets a variable electronic steering. One setting for the street and the other setting for performance.
And the '12 GT 300a package is $500 cheaper than the '11 GT 300a ppackage.
The premium packages were increased over the '11 premium package prices.

 

I hadn't even noticed until I read your post... but my skip-shift stoped skipping... lol and its been a while already now that I think about it :-/

 

I think the SkipS*** actually stops giving forced feedback through adaptive learning.
For the first week or so, my SkipS*** gave me feedback lock-out, but after jamming the gear in anyway, I think eventualy the ECU shut off the forced feedback.

 

Is the adaptive learning tied to which key you use? Mine went away and came back. I swapped keys about the same time, but it could be my imagination.

 

There is the 2012 Boss of course! How could we forget that?

 

it gets a homelink visor that i plan to put in my 10 as soon as i can verify colro and if it looks like the other visor.

 

I got rid of skip shift too, it's called unplugging the solenoid on the transmission. Takes like 30 seconds after you jack the car up.

As far as the visor goes, it'll work just fine.

The other feature that was added was selectable steering effort. In my mind that's pretty awesome.

 

Did you reflash your ECU?
Going with an aftermarket tune will could wipe the ECU's stored knowledge of adaptive learning. Well, that is moot if your tune eliminates SkipS***.

Or if you return to stock, the processes reflashes the ECU and resets adaptive learning here too.

 

I am curious, how the street steering effort setting feels.
For me, I like the default performance steering effort setting of my '11 GT (which happens to be the only steering effort setting, LOL).
