You did mention manual preconditioning. Was that just speculation, or is there any rumors that it's actually coming?

I am sure all of these features are "coming soon", especially the Sync 4A updates...2027?
This is all ran in your phone, not in sync itself. When AA or ACP are running, it's basically like a remote phone control type of thing. This is why the phones warm up as they're basically driving a remote display.

Here’s a screen grab of the new top ribbon in all its glory. New icons that don’t suck. But still no trunk button.

These icons have been in existence for... six months now? I'm not sure what @Ford Motor Company is waiting for to release them. Maybe @Ford Motor Company is worried that @Mirak will slay them with an aggressively hilarious meme?

The new icons are fine, @Ford Motor Company. Let's go. Get 'em released. And add the damned trunk button.

While I'm not too excited for the gmaps integration (I can already search for chargers and route efficiency is already set up for EV). I do like the fact that Ford is partnering with Google. This hopefully means we get a more stable, reliable android auto connection from our phones.

Will this update allow for battery pre-conditioning on our way to charger just like Ford's built-in navigation?
This is what I want to know! Thanks for asking! If it integrates enough to do the enroute preconditioning then this is a huge bonus! It would really help streamline the experience.

The car was in accessory mode, not fully turned on. That's what the IPC looks like if you push the start button without pressing the brake pedal.

This is true, but we still have to wait for Ford to enable the functionality with an update. Google has apparently said they're ready to go, they're waiting on Ford.

In the picture you posted I have a question.
The top light gray bar with the icons has a little tail down to match the rounded corners of Android Auto. Is that a Ford update or is that Android Auto doing that?
I use CarPlay and the gray bar is perfectly straight and so if my CarPlay screen uses the rounded corners I just have black empty space and it looks really bad. This fixes that.

I… did not notice that. I have no idea. I use CarPlay, and agree my top bar is straight. I don’t know if AA currently gets the little tails, or if this is also part of the eventual update for everyone regardless of CP/AA.

I just tested in my car with Android Auto and CarPlay. Both just have the flat bar with downward "tail." So I'm guessing that will be part of a SYNC update.
