I have discovered a large amount of RF noise (~54 dbv) being generated by my 3 month old 2010 Mustang GT. A friend with a 2008 GT and has a very clean RF environment. Both of us have installed HF Amateur Radio transceivers in our respective cars. Both of us have installed ferrites on the radio input for power, microphones, remote speakers, and remote control heads. In my car, this 54 db of noise exists from 7 MHz to 54MHz but is not present on the VHF and UHF bands (144 MHz or 440 MHz). I have not detected this on the Sirius (2.3 GHz), or the commercal FM channels (87-108 MHz) or the much lower commercial AM band (0.52-1.61 MHz). The problem disappears when the radio antenna is removed so it appears to be something creating an RF field that is enveloping the antenna (trunk mounted very near the fixed AM/FM antenna) as opposed to being induced into the radio cables. The problem is first seen when the ignition key is taken to the ON position but not the START position and before the engine is running. Ford has had this problem before with their Explorer, and possibly other models. Based upon my friend's experience (same radio, same antenna, nearly identical mounting locations) there appears to be something new about the 2010 Mustang causing this problem. Has anyone had similar RF problems on the new 2010 Mustang or 2010 Mustang GT? This problem would affect CB installation as well as HF Amateur Radio installations. How was it resolved? Does anyone know if Ford has changed the Fuel pump (expected culprit), or how it is installed, on the 2010 Mustang from that of previous years? Are there any identified fixes for this sort of problem?

You are not wrong. The deal is an X-plan buy and I want to be sure I know what the real invoice looks like.

I simply like to know as much as the dealer at the closing. Ignorance can only work to my disadvantage.

Is it possible for a customer to obtain a copy of the Invoice before the car is delivered? I understand that the invoice is sent to the dealer but I'm wondering if there is a way for the customer to obtain a copy of the invoice independent of the dealer.

Dealer provided VIN is 1ZVBP8CH2A5158720 Dealer estimated delivery date is week of 11/3 Questions: 1. Can this be confirmed? 2. Is there a sticker that I can see that will show the X-plan pricing? Thanks in advance. v/r Robert Goodwin
