The 12V outlet's placement. Whenever I have my phone charger hooked up I get the wire dangling all in front of everything. The CD player, controls, all of it. Why couldnt Ford have just stuck it on the bottom. Jeez.....talk about nit-picking, I still wouldnt trade her for anything though!

They placed one at the top center of the console with radar detectors in mind I believe.

I kind of like the looks of the start button replacement for that spot (I just don't see the point of it).

You could also add an aftermarket one anywhere you want.

I was thinking of using the one in the console for the iPod or cell phone or something. I thought of that when I first saw it. So many uses...just which one to use.

SN95 Mustang owners had the exact same complaint going the oposite way - when you have a radar detector plugged in the cord runs right down the center of the consol. So Ford did "fix" it.

Maybe next year they'll add one to the lower consol to please everyone once and for all... and maybe a built in coffee maker just under the glove box I could use 3 12V I guess - Radar, Ipod, Phone... and why not a factory inverter for my laptop

Will the coffee maker come standard or is that optional
