That's only for models that have the Sony upgrade stereo, right?

Ok I need to disable that, I really don't want to a have anything that interferes with the music I listen too. OK so perhaps some engine noise might acceptable when listening to Bachman Turner Overdrive's FOUR WHEEL DRIVE but that's about it.

Dealer just has to hook up their computer and electronically turn it of in programmable parameters, no adverse effects on audio system

ETIS is not updated yet. Window sticker has a blend Date of 220160315. Does this mean build starts next Tuesday?

I have had the VIN for a couple weeks now, and just got a build date of 3/15 and ETA 3/27 from Ford Service. Where are you getting the window sticker? Thanks

Does anyone know if it's true that factory orders can only be placed on Thursdays? I ordered mine from a dealership last Thursday and when I called today to get the order number they told me that they hadn't ordered it yet. I'm worried 6-8 weeks is going to turn into 10-12 weeks...

Different regions may have different rules, My truck was ordered on a Monday and my dealer gave me the order confirmation sheet to look over to make sure it was all correct before I left the Dealer. That sheet contained my order number and all of my specific options
