departure time preconditioning not working when not plugged in!! FIXED

[dhova97]

Known fact that most all android users are waiting for the Fordpass 5.3 update which adds back the "prepare cabin off plug" button. Well be delighted that it is indeed available on fordpass 5.2.0

With the knowledge that iOS fordpass users had the button restored in the 5.3 update I borrowed my son's iPhone and downloaded the fordpass app logged in with my credentials went to the energy tab-> depature time and enabled "prepare cabin off plug" . Logged out and uninstalled the app on his iPhone. Then I opened fordpass on my galaxy zfold and it was there!

It will certainly prepare the cabin, but I don’t think the battery will precondition off-plug

I believe the issue was just that they could no longer select the option to condition the cabin at a set time when not plugged in. They knew the battery would not precondition.

Ah ok, I misunderstood preconditioning to mean battery preconditioning.

No worries - Ford calls both of them preconditioning and it can get confusing as you mentioned only the cabin will work when not plugged in. I almost made the same comment you did!

You, sir, are a effing genius. Been waiting for 5.3.1 that iOS has but we Android users are stuck on 5.2. I just did what you suggested and got the setting enabled on 5.2!

It's crazy that all I had to do weeks ago was enable this on one of my iPhones to get this on my Pixel.

?

Thank you!
