Strange. When I look up the app into on Play Store, I don't have bullet point #1 - maintain service records. The app version to be installed is 5.9

I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro on Android 15. My download size is only 20.01MB.

Any ideas why there'd be a discrepancy?

I'm note sure why that is the case.

BTW, I tested inputting a manual service record, works on my Galaxy S24u

After you put in your own service record, you have 90 days to edit/delete if you like.

It's that way on IOS Apple, probably the same with Android.

Departure time start of cabin climate, was wonky this morning, I watched the Vehicle screen show the message "starting climate" for several seconds as usual, then the screen flashed quickly and returned to the parked message instead of saying "Climate On Until x:xx...."

I hit other tabs to cause a screen refresh, didn't cause an update.

I hit the fan icon again, it went through the motions of climate start, then an error, then showed me that it was running with an ending time, for kick's I hit the add time button, came back with error that maximum time already alloted.

I'm guessing the automatic departure start actually worked, I was just not aware of it and the second tap on the fan caused an extension? normally that would "stop" the process ?!?

I can't say this is a glitch exclusive to 5.9.0, I seem to recall this inconsistency on prior versions.

I seen this when I have a departure time set and not having the truck plugged in. If I hit climate control or fan button I get a error. Turning off departure time the climate control works just fine....very silly buggy software glitch.

The wonkiness continues.

Afternoon departure time started @1:45 pm, but is showing a full 30 minutes of run time until 2:15 pm, without me touching the extend button. For kicks, I tapped the extend and the request failed as expected since the maximum had already been reached.

The updates to core security patch level on Android devices may have broken functionality of the WATCH4 app for Fordpass, symptom is a brief flash of Fordpass on your watch, then return to list of applets.

Fix: uninstalled the Fordpass watch applet, reinstall it, should resume working correctly.
