Later model years have an Orange Snowflake in the IP that comes on when there is a possibility of road icing. There was some discussion years ago that it would be coming in a future OTA. Did anyone get it? I do not have an Orange Snowflake and conditions here have been consistently low enough that I would have seen it for weeks.
No FORScan hacks please.

My 2021 Job 2 has had that since new I do believe. Its basically useless if you live in a cold climate, we spent the last 20 days below 32degrees so I think it has been on since.

It is not really an indication of road icing, it's a 37 degree temp. I suspect if you surveyed 100 people, many of them would have no idea, and profess they had never seen it. I'll bet that 3 out of 100 don't say "it's great, it tells me the road might get icy soon".

Job 1 won't have it unless you do enable it with FORScan. That is what I had to do with my Job1. Job 2 came with it.

Ok, so one report of a job 1 that has it and has always had it, and reports that it wouldn’t be available to Job 1s unless the FORScan change is made. Sounds like I will never get a snowflake 😀😀😀😀

Europe and probably other countries had it but we didn't with Job 1. What is your resistance to enable it with FORScan?

Yes, I forgot you guys over there had it from day one. 👍
It’s been such a car😍

123,000 miles just turned up.

And thinking about pulling the trigger, flogging it to replace with a GT or something more sexy and less practical now I don’t need the range.

Dealer lent me one once, just what a car!

Stuck to the road like it had claws, and those matrix headlights, soooooooo impressive.

And the UK GT has all the accoutrements I like: pano roof, kick to open tailgate, ts all the boxes.

And the power!

Really do fancy one.

Should I?

Retired now, if I don’t spend it the kids will only spend it on Apple shite and Tesla crap!

I’ll be dead soon so need to buy and enjoy one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly the way I look at it. Enjoy it while you can otherwise someone else while when you're gone. 😳

FORScan is Russian and not open source. I have a pretty hard-wired mental block against Russian software. I have a similar block against Chinese software.
