Instrument Cluster new layout?

[Gullwingdmc]

Talk about making a screen as generic as possible. And that car does me no service. Useless.

Not a fan of the new normal!!!!
Flat, boring, generic! Come on Ford. Do better!

Make sure to send in feedback using the record feedback app on the touch screen. I’m definitely going to call that number too.

I think the instrument cluster is pretty great, it's my impression they plan on displaying more car related feedback on there...I do love a centered speedometer as much as the next person but I will not lose sleep over its current iteration.

I get it. It’s obvious everyone has a preference. And that’s why there should be options to change mph location; it shouldn’t be fixed.

You wrote: “record feedback app on the touch screen“ ? Where would I find this?
Sorry…new here.

On the touch screen hit the apps buttons in the upper right (which is of course a house icon, because that makes sense) then the record feedback app will be one of those apps. I believe it’s red with a picture of a microphone.

Oh! So was your instrument cluster with the speed in the middle (no car) and now, after an update, there is a car in the middle with the speed on the right? I had not heard of this happening from an update.

Hey Ford, why not just allow us end users to be able to toggle/move things around on our dash display? Maybe some users want the speedometer on the right and some back in the middle. Or provide us a few preset dash layouts to choose from. Some of us don’t use blue cruise or the safety features like lane assist. I don’t want to see a picture of my vehicle in the middle of my screen.

Plus, with so much real estate on that dash screen, why not just give us options to increase the font size? Maybe making the speedometer larger?

Either that's a joke, or you don't spend nearly enough time on this forum.

Correct, I've had my 2023 Mach-E since May and the speed has always been in the center. Now post update the car is always in the center with the speed to the right.

He's the OP. I'm guessing it was more of a debbie downer sigh type thing, a comisseration.

If that is the case, I would call Ford (the 1800 number) and tell them what happened and ask what they can do about it. If it is something that can change in an update, you would think it is something that can be fixed in an update too!

Great point! I think that would make everyone in this thread happy.

Can someone please post a photo of mph in the center with gold lines surrounding it. I had this spontaneously displayed for around 5 min one morning after an update then it reverted to the mph on the Right with car in the middle.
I just saw a Mach E commercial during the game 3 Stanley Cup and it showed those gold lines surrounding the center MPH.

 

[Evelyn830]

I wish I could. I can’t get that car out of the middle no matter what I do. And I hate it. I’ve tried everything. Ford failed on that one. Why do I need to look at that stupid car over how fast I’m going?
Very frustrating.

Sure! This is a photo I found online of how my instrument cluster USED to look before they accidentally put the car in the middle in October 2023. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

Yes that is it. Does anyone know what secret combination of settings unlocks this view??
