FordPass App has been Neutered

I miss test trailer lighting after hookup. Could stand behind trailer start it in the app and make sure all the lights were working. Now back to the old way.

@Ford Motor Company please read this thread and being all this back ASAP. Nav plan/send, zone lighting, trailer lighting, etc. All missed by many!

Also, let’s throw in better non-app based paak while we are asking for things. I recently experienced wallet/card based NF paak on an iPhone in another brand (BMW) and it is amazing compared to Fords app based option via Bluetooth.

yeah, it’s completely gone.

Is Trip Planner separate from the nav plotting the charging stops?

Maybe I’ve missed the forums on here about this but if not I don’t think this gets talked about enough. Seen some things on Reddit about it, but when I bought my XLT, one of the big selling points was what all I could do with the FordPass App. For me it was the monitoring of the ProPower Onboard and the Zone lighting. The sales guy showed these features off and it was really a tipping point for me on making the purchase then and there because these features are super useful via my phone at work. The scales feature as well. But since the new update, all these features are gone. Now it’s just a Home Screen that lets me start climate control and honk the horn. I’ve read on Reddit they’ll reintroduce these features later, but man do I feel like I lost something I paid for. I love the truck and this isn’t going to make me trade it in of course, I can take the extra few seconds and climb into the cab to check all this on the screen, but having it on the phone was a real time saver at work when the truck is sometimes 300 yards away. Really wish they’d bring these feature back already, it’s been a few months.

ProPower Onboard monitoring is coming back very, very soon (no, not just Soon™)

@Ford Motor Company This is why you have a reputation of being shitty at software.

REAL software companies know enough that every feature they remove will annoy some user somewhere.

As a software developer, this made me laugh out loud. I guess I'm not a "real" developer.
