2014 GT track key

[Monster5.0]

can the track key and regular key each be tuned differently by your tuner?

So far nobody has been able to do it.

awesome, I guess doing a factory order will pay off after all. My car scheduled to arrive next week. I will be getting this for sure.

I wonder what Shaun@AED thinks about this? Can someone tap him to step in and comment on this now that its on the GT not just the boss. And maybe he understands why now it works on the GT and not just the boss anymore. Or if there is a way we can all have it?

Interesting. Note too that the warranty doc only covers the Boss 302, not the regular GT..

See above about new ECU's.

While it's neat, it seems more of a novelty item.

Man so close but yet SO far away! At least you aren't alone in having a sad 2014.

The aftermarket looked into the 2-key / different tune setup and we know how it works. It basically replaces the 'My Key', but in standard GT / Boss Strategies the tables simply do not exist to change the functions Ford Racing changes.

Ford Racing has created their own unique strategies that have added tables which are accessed via different keys.

SCT/Diablo/Sniper, etc can all 'read' out these strategies and convert them for use in their software (same way they do the standard Ford Strategies), that is not the problem. The problem comes from 'activating' the additional key. It's not possible without Ford hardware/software (in person) AND there are security protocols that require vin verification at Ford in order to activate the additional key.

Sure, if we spent enough time we could *probably* get around all these issues but it's simply not worth the effort.

I say good for Ford Racing. Those guys rock.

And I thought I had the best tuner....:bash: seriously its nuts the stuff yall tuners learn about these computers. I thought FAST XFI was insane lol.

Unless you are terrified to tune your car, who cares? Aftermarket tuners will give you far better results. IMO

 

[me32]

This is a pretty cool option. Seems it will help M6 sales with all the issues thet have had. Does anyone know if this track key sets the rev limiter higher than the 7k

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Expect this to be an option on all manual GT's in 2015.

 

[GCubersoldat]

anyone know when the key will actually go on sale? says "coming soon" on the website. part number is the same as the boss 302 track key if im correct?

 

[Heuristic]

6/13


Though I was likely going to go with an AED tune anyways

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THE GT TRACK KEY

I just spoke with Ford Racing. The gentlemen I spoke to said the 7/1/14 date is not correct. It will work on late model 2013 and all 2014 GTs with manual transmissions.

It's function (ability to work) is related to the updated instrument cluster.

A release date is not clear at this point, as it is in development. He would not give me a date.

The price should be the same as the Track Key for the Boss 302...which is $302

WooHoo I'm in!!!

Feel free to call for more info 800.367.3788, choose option two for the Ford Racing department.

I'm getting one. Woo hoo!!!

 

[AFGuy0127]

If that price holds out, that is great news. I'm definitely getting one of these when it is released. It would be cool to see any HP differences between the standard and the track keys. I'm guessing comparison dynos have been on the boss, so I'm interested in seeing the difference for the gt.

any info on this yet?
