Do you think there are any buttons missing?

I feel like any car needs to have a play/pause button, preferably on the steering wheel.

My RAV4 doesn't have a dedicated button, but if I hold the mode (source) button down for a couple seconds, it will play/pause. Very annoying, but it works.

I know some folks mentioned a rear lift gate button should be down below the steering wheel, and I agree.

The audio power on/off button is effectively play/pause. I use that all the time on my current vehicle.

On the Mach-E, this button is in the center of the volume knob.

Thanks good to know.

My usual situation is I'm playing music or a podcast and I'm running Waze for nav. If pause with the power button, wouldI still get Waze instructions?

This one:

A button with a logo nearly like this one already appears inside the fruit (front boot).

Seems like a bad idea for the driver to hit that while the vehicle's in motion... But yeah I can see this being useful for ejection of backseat drivers.

Does Ford have a suggestion box where we can drop off these inspired ideas?

On MyFord Touch at least, the Mute button on the wheel actually is both a Mute and Pause button for media - when you unmute, you unpause. It's actually a very nice setup.

It does mute the speaker which means no Waze, I'd expect.

I would like a soft button on the main screen for Recirc. With the current design, one needs to press once to reach the main climate screen, then press Recirc.

I’m sure they were trying to avoid clutter on the main screen, but Recirc is a button I use alot.

I’d be happy if it remembered your last setting as to recirc and kept it on instead of always having to turn it on like some cars every time you go for a drive.
