Hopefully that's not a next gen dash unit. But it also doesn't match any current models, so it might be.

The mule is also outfitted with a new steering wheel, taken from the 2013 Ford Fusion. The new wheel allows for more infotainment and connectivity options, which means that when its wired to a fresh, modernized interface such as the unit inside this mule, the Mustang will likely take a step forward in the user-interface department. The screen is on the smaller side, given the trend toward larger displays, but this model is also outfitted with a conventional button array, so something like an upgraded MyFordTouch interface may bring with it a bigger LCD.

Oh great... as if having every other New Edge thread be about SYNC wasn't enough. Moar buttons and shineys to play with.

That is a current Mustang dash, if you read the article they're testing the center stack so all they do is wire one up to work and install a steering wheel with appropriate controls to test it out.

That center stack is a mess. This is worse than my '13. What was wrong with the simple 3-dial controls they used in the '90's? I could set everything by feel in my old Probe.

You know what I'd like to see? NOTHING! The only thing I like about the having that all-in-one Nav unit in the Mustangs, is how clean it looks.

I say, take it a step further. Put ALL the dash controls onto that touch screen and give me a super clean, no buttons, no nothing, center console.

No.

Better...

Something like this without the buttons on the sides.

You know... Just clean... no knobs or doo-dads.

To me it looks like crap. However I will reserve judgement until I see it in it's proper location along with the rest of the dashboard instead of bolted in the wrong place on butchered 2013 dashboard.

"feeling" and Probe" should not be in the same sentence.

Yeah, the name was an unfortunate choice.

That center stack looks like dog.
