I've no bluetooth or usb or dash power socket or leather seats or ...lots The TitX has more but even then, not 'The Full Monty' as I understand it. As a matter of interest, why have an ESP off button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_j_jacobs Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 no ive not got bluetooth either hence why ive upgrading my headunit to Kenwood DMX 7017DABS just looking for a nice USB fitting so i can plug my phone into plus steering stalk leads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjw Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 2 hours ago, k_j_jacobs said: i wonder why its blanked off... thought titaniums had ALL the features my 2010 had ESP controlled via the menu on the dashboard LCD screen - also doesn't look like your one has heated seats which mine did have (thought these we standard on the Titanium Mk2.5 but not on the Mk3/Mk3.5) Might be worth putting your reg no into Ford ETIS and see what it says about the car - if you want the reg from my 2010 car to compare I can PM it to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The wires on the picture are for the optional passenger airbag deactivation warning light. The optional passenger airbag deactivation system consists of a keyswitch inside the glove box and the warning light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_j_jacobs Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 yeah i can turn mine off at the central menu computer. wonder why they left it perhaps they just used all the looms for the same cars no heated seats in my car. i used Ford Etis great tool that. when i first bought this car i was finding easter eggs for months...

Micro Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 JW1982 - I was close then! As for why you would want to disable ESP: ESP works by detecting individual wheels speeds, rotation of the vehicle, and direction you are steering. If it detects you are spinning an individual wheel, not travelling in the direction of steer, etc, it will attempt to correct that by braking certain wheels and reducing engine power. On certain road surfaces, ice, snow and mud for example, you may not want the car to compensate for you, and therefore you turn it off to ensure you have full engine power to the driving wheels at all times. It turns itself back on automatically when you cycle the ignition. I took part in a skidpan course in a Focus mk2.5 with the ESP and ABS turned off at points, it was most enjoyable on the closed circuit!
