Are there any improvements on the 22's vs the 21's, or just downgrades?

I think they changed the horn as well. I remember someone mentioning that their horn sounded high pitched?

USB connection in the back as well I think is an addition over the 2021.

I have both USB and 110v connections for the back seat in my June 2021 Badlands.

So what exactly does the LED in the push to start button do for you?

This is really minor, but when you're in the car and you press the brake, it comes on to indicate the car is ready to start. Then it stays on to show ignition is on.
Subjectively, I prefer the thinner letters on the lit button to the blocky looking rework.

That’s how I know if it has shut off. Although I’ve gotten into the habit of lifting a bit on the brake after stopping and that disables it at that point. The auto start and stop really hasn’t annoyed me like I thought it would.

Mine was a little rough re-starting some times. Made the vehicle buck a little. Also the AC compressor shuts off so it starts to get hot fast here and the engine doesn't actually stay off long. If you have it on max AC it won't shut off at all anyway.

Is mine then the only back-lit start button? Hmm...

The Start button in our 2019 Escape lights up blue (like all other buttons) but has no other light on it.

Is that what people mean?

Surely the button is backlit In order to be able to see it?

The USB connections were added instead of the original 12v cigarette lighter plug in May of 2021.

I set mine up like a week or two ago and I've been pretty disappointed by it. I basically have to be like 5 feet from my garage for it to work. My regular garage door opener works when I'm still in the road and haven't even pulled into the driveway. If you absolutely need the "clean" look without a garage door opener on your visor or where ever you put it, then I guess it's an option, or if your battery in your opener dies, but I ended up just going back to the old opener.

Have you tried one of the other buttons or resetting it? Mine works from several houses away down the street and reacts faster than the actual door opener.

Thanks I appreciate it. I’ll happily order and pay for them. It’ll be good to know if I can and when.

i wonder if our folding Explorer headrests will fit...

does anyone know if the buttons are live when the key isn't near the car? I.E. if the car is in the driveway and someone breaks in would they have access to my garage?

I thought the auto start stop feature was outside temp related, like over 95 degrees or so.

I’m out of town but if no one responds to this after trying I’ll let you know on Friday.

Ya’all sound like a Bunch of spoiled children. LoL
Back in the day when I had to walk to school, UP hill Both ways ! :’P
We were happy if the A/C was good and cold and we damn sure didn’t need a digital LED temp gage to tell us the cabin was comfortable.

No, there was a green LED on the button to tell you the engine was running. Or at least that is what I’m “LED” to believe.
