HVAC Temperature Digital Readout Dials Are Back For 2023 Broncos!

[Vanimalious]

100% agree.

The giant popup is objectively terrible UX, it's huge, laggy and pointless. The numbers on the screen would be fine if they didn't consume 8 inches of my dashboard while having no apparent or useful relationship with the speed at which I'm actually turning the knob.

I and the other people who ordered a $60,000+ vehicle advertising a feature that we never received are entitled to feel slighted. Especially when the people before and after get it. The people joining a thread in the bronco forums about climate knobs just to pontificate on how silly they think the opinions of others are should do some serious soul searching.

Obviously ford isn't primarily a software development company, but they should try learn from the mistakes other players have made in the past. Apple and Google learned long ago that animations just for the sake of having them create a horrible user experience. Remember when camera phones would pretend to close a shudder whenever you took a picture? Yikes.

Someone suggested attempting to use forscan to change it. I assume it's not something forscan related so much as the code itself? I can open developer options and tweaking animations on phones, but I have yet to find anyone doing anything to that extent to the bronco.

Also, more financially able to recover from a bricked phone to a bricked bronco... All for essentially a pop up ad? Meh. I'll get used to it. Again, minor annoyance. Curious to know what others constitute as a minor annoyance...

Here's a '23 that has hit the lot for verification in incredible and vibrant Azure Gray (Rick's secret favorite color).

Holy first world problems Batman. 11 pages of rant over a redundant feature showing temperature on a knob, wow.

It’s important to me. But I really appreciate your feedback.

Wow!! 12 pages with absolutely no real information...

How is there no real information? The title of the post has already been proven lol

Was looking at my vehicle order tracking, and opened the interior view 360, and, low and behold, can see the Temps displayed in the knobs...

To eBay I go!

What more do you want? The title is self-explanatory.

Hoping I’ll be able to order just the digital knobs themselves without having to replace the larger component-body they’re plugged in to.

It’s all one piece. They aren’t available separately

its on the infotainment...who cares

I've learned that using the 12" screen is just as easy as using the knobs to see temp. Not sure what the hype is, but to me it doesn't matter.

Yup, I don’t have the temp on the knobs in my f-150 with the 12” screen and I’ve never once thought that they are needed. It’s easy enough to see the temp on the screen as you turn the knobs.

 

[JimmyG]

Right on. I get it though. Some love it some can live without it. To each their own.

Excuse my ignorance. Why is a temp read out on controls a huge deal? Its like having two different zones on passenger and driver. It doesnt matter. Turn the dial till comfortable. Lol
