Yep searched online and posts on other forums mention public beta. No button for me to try it. Oh well.
The climate button is remote start for EV (reverts to whatever remote start climate / seats / HSW you've got). Lightning is rumored to have control over climate settings from the phone. I tried installing the latest "beta" from EA only after playing with the open beta, I saw no additional features.
Ah gotcha! When I saw this earlier I was thinking the ICE were going to be getting some additional stuff in the app but saw your two versions between the two.
The ICE could have those features. There's nothing special about the EVs. Computers controlling computerized modules. It really comes down to the software team. With ford appearing to unify as much as the code across vehicles as possible, rolling out new features should be as simple as a single programming change (in theory). It's been a hot mess since since the first 2021s got to customers and just recently are software versions starting to line up across all years instead of a different piece of software for each model year. It really comes down to poor management starting with the CEO. Plus the new tools enabled by Ai should be making coding and testing more efficient. They collect loads of telemetry data, it's about time they start analyzing / using / predicting data for better vehicles and software.
I have a beta version that pops up. I dont like it. Too hard to navigate. Current/old version is much more
Actually the new version blows. There is no service history. No tire pressure. No trailer light test. There is nothing but start and locks.
Brand differentiation. 2023 Lincoln Nautilus also has windows up/down. etc. Fordpass has been losing functions since early 2021 (bluetooth to control Propower, etc.)
That is disappointing, but it might be added back into the app before it leaves beta.
