puttling climate conroles onto the screen

[Dude]

Are the controls fixed on the screen, so that they show even on the CarPlay screens?

Climate controls are only on Sync 3.4 (not CarPlay) - see link in Post #10 and attached pic:

some are some are not. the knobs are but the buttons I don't believ so, unless they are active. I will doubel check. i am getting pretty good at finding them from memory but they are small and not the easiest button layout.

I remember thinking when I bought the car that maybe they took a pacy from gmc and the interior ilumination with the tech package would have a little led light directed at the control area, like it does in my wifes 2019 ford edge. it lights up the cup area and the buttons below the screen with out interferign with anything else, but nope all it does is light up the footwells and the door handles.

Yep, I can't understand why people wouldn't want them there or say it clutters up the screen.

Because it's unnecessary lol they're all there with illuminated switches. It's not 1960 guys

To each their own

So don't add them, it's simple. You the type that others actions trigger you, even though they dont affect you?

some are some are not. the knobs are but the buttons I don't believe so, unless they are active. I will double check. i am getting pretty good at finding them from memory but they are small and not the easiest button layout.

so i double checked and yes they are iluminated, but they are veryy small, and if you do any type of night driving out of the city you dim your dash lights so you are not blinded by the dash glare (ford you went backwards in this, we need to talk)

so for my comort I have the dash lights dimmed to about 30% and at that level you cannot see the button ilumination.

they have messed up the dash dimming so bad with the bronco and I never noticed untill I went to check. why are back lit buttons dimming with the dash lights, why do the speedo and rpm guage not dim with the dash light?

in 2014 on my f350 platimum the screens dim independiantly from the dash lights so you can turn the dask lights down where you like them then do the big 8" screen even more, but the back lit knobs and buttons don't change, they are blue they glow not glare.

I think you forgot this...

IMHO

you seem to be triggered here by my actions. like i said, to each their own. we're all just having a discussion this is a forum after all.

Another reason to add the Climate Control tab:

I was interested in the Climate Control tab on the 8” screen (‘21-’24) way back in early 2022 because of the Bronco Sports annoying (to me) habit of automatically turning down the A/C fan speed when a phone call comes in (or during Google Maps navigation prompts).

The (incorrect) 2022 Owners Manual states: press A/C & Recirc buttons simultaneously to turn off (or on) the fan speed reduction feature.

Only having the 8” display with climate controls added via FORSCAN can control the fan speed reduction feature.

Here’s the scenario: set fan speed to setting 5 or higher, receive an incoming phone call (or during Google Maps navigation prompts) - fan speed automatically lowers to 4 during the voice operation. This is annoying when A/C is keeping the vehicle cool during very high ambient temps of 105°F and higher which is routine for summers here).

Seems like Waze and Nav do not alter fan speed (at setting 5 or higher). The fan speed reduction also occurs when using CarPlay and the scenario above occurs.

I never tried adding the Climate Control tab via FORScan to see if I could disable the automatic fan speed reduction feature because I typically use CarPlay and do not have the Sync screen displayed - the climate controls on the 8” screen do not appear when CarPlay is enabled.
