Then spend the minute and stop using a shifty nav system.

But i need that minute to take the undertray off when i change my oil filter

Along with the previous suggestion to change the vehicle image to a Dark Horse model for a Dark Horse vehicle, implement a convertible image for those with verts. Again, completely doable, just a matter of whether FMC wants to.

They did / do it on the website, so …..

Better to lose two minutes of your life than lose your life in two minutes!

True - although, she said, and two minutes …

Does ford do any sort of voice of customer or feedback to be able to get these slight improvements? @Ford Motor Company

Imagine that: Something another used asked for is already covered IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL!

@NH_woodser

Good to know!

Our Cadillac has this and I hate it. I have to go hunt down keys when I'm in the garage and just want to grab something out of the car.

I hate that too... I disabled that day one in my Cadillac.

Maybe, maybe not. I spent the first half of my career writing software. If only everything people said was "easy" actually was easy.

Boy, you got that right... (I do programming for industrial equipment).

On that note... here's my "easy" one: maximum start volume for the stereo... (yeah, had a lot of GM cars).

ROADPILOT Yes, I did search the owner's manual and found the seek. Sorry you don't know what scan is: When you press one SCAN button one time and the radio plays the next station a few seconds, then seeks to the next station and plays that station a few seconds, then seeks to the next station... It will keep seeking the next station until you hear one you like and you press the SCAN button one more time to stop the scanning. it's nice when you are out of your home area. It's been a feature of every Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Volvo I have owned in the last 30+ years. I think my '97 F150 had it, but not positive. Maybe it was never a Ford thing?

I second the max startup stereo volume setting.

It's not broken. It's intended to work that way. Quiet mode enabled if started from inside the vehicle. Not via remote. We probably need the exercise anyway!

I highly doubt it is intended to work that way that is really dumb. If you have the time set for quiet start between certain times it should start in quiet mode regardless of how you start it. It's not about exercise what about people who live in cold weather who want to warm up the car early morning and turn it on from inside the house without waking up the entire neighbourhood. I thought that was the point of quiet mode.

You can highly doubt all you want. That doesn't change the fact that THAT is exactly how it works and that's how it's worked since the 7th Gen first came out.

That is how it works but that doesn't mean it's intentional because it's clearly a glitch. Doesn't work like that on the 6th gen. Are you paid to defend ford or what?

Don’t think they heard us ….

If that is the case then why did Ford tell me that a fix was coming to correct this? I was told the car should in fact start in quiet mode regardless of you starting the car from inside or the remote features (keyFOB or phone App).

I no longer have my car so I'm not sure if the fix has been put out yet or not

I just received that one.
Previous updates had a version number in the comments like 6.4.2 or similar.
How do I tell what version the system is currently at?
