Wish Ford implements non-scheduled (departure time) climate start on the Fordpass app.

This is from Hyundai Ioniq 5. I can start before leaving home and not have to change a schedule or add one to do that.

Is this not a good idea?

Tesla has this, as does my old 2015 Chevy Spark lol. A feature I use frequently, and would hope is in the pipeline at some point for Ford.

Is this not what remote start does?

I'm not sure which model truck you have, but Ford kind of has this wrapped up already. Just press Start on your app and you are done. In the truck you select "Auto" for the start and include Auto on seats and depending on the external temperature it will start AC or heat, including the seats for what it needs to do.

Not quite like what you show, but I think just as good and simpler. Just press start and it is taken care of. I don't need complication.

I have the 2022 Lariat Lightning. Yes the remote start does the same but this you can remotely set the temp in case the previous driver set something else.

So what is departure time - is that just warming the cabin without starting the truck.

'Start' is fine but why is there a 30 minute limit? I had a glitch the other day where the app thought I had already started the truck so it wouldn't allow me to start it again without driving. I had to get into a chilly truck. No one should be forced to do that.🥶

I completely agree about the 15 and 30 minute intervals. If Ford's app truly was worth its weight, it would simply remind you the truck was running or let you start it again. Only allowing 2 starts or the time limit they have is bad. However, they don't understand users nor delivering value. They've used this same 15/30 minute thing for 10 years or more.

Yes, something this customizable would make sense. I hope Ford starts implementing these changes soon because the technology part is the most exciting part of the vehicle and how it can be updated.

I had to recheck what forum I was in because I thought that looked familiar. 🤣. That is a nice feature of Hyundai’s app and it works quite well. The app performance is also faster than Tesla’s which surprised me.

I wish START didn't turn on the headlights. It's kind of embarrassing to walk out in the dark to discover that they've been shining on the neighbor's house because I back it into the driveway. Am I missing something?

No, it's silly. It's clearly a relic from ICE vehicles that need to be running to operate HVAC systems. If an ICE vehicle is running it's lights turn on. At some point someone decided it was more important for all Ford vehicles to operate the same way than it was for its EVs to operate the best way.
