So there is no dedicated "pet mode" but with 1.7.1 and 1.8 sync updates, you now have a note pad that you can write on it and you can leave your car on as long as you want, just turn off the "auto power off" setting. This basically what Tesla users did before "pet mode" was introduced.
Is there a way to turn off auto power off? I swear mine only lets me go to 30 minutes max or like 5 minutes on the low end.
Yeah, it is in settings, I think general or vehicle, can't remember where right now, but there is definitely an "off."
I see how that will work but you need to put some kind of note on the car. Tesla has their screen indicate that the car is being cooled or heated for your pet. Someone may come along and think you are abusing your animal by leaving it in a car that is not conditioned, and smash your window to get the animal out. They could call the cops too, assuming they having nothing else to do and are willing to come out. Both situations are not ideal for the lack of 50 cents worth of paper and ink. Even better yet, Ford can realize that Tesla has a great idea, copy it and install it as a software update for their customers. However, pride goeth before a fall so that is not likely to happen.
Did you not read his comment about the note pad?
That's exactly what the Tesla does. The only difference is there is a picture of a dog
Not sure what you’re saying? Pet mode is exactly this the Tesla just has it pop up with the press or a button rather than you writing the note yourself. Although I think there is a wave to save notes so you can save a template, so to speak. I just what
I think @Caramel posted what the note should look like, minus the music choice. When you push the button in a Tesla, it goes into the pet mode for climate control and their info screen provides a note like the one below. This tells people on the outside of the car that our furry friends are safe and you are not cooking or freezing their little brains. If you can replicate the same on the MME screen, you are golden. If not, then the hand written note is your back-up.
Yes, but you quoted and replied to my comment where I am literally saying that this is possible in the MME and you go on about needing paper or something. You can leave the car on at whatever temp you want and then use the notes app the write exactly what that says, just no picture.I think @Caramel posted what the note should look like, minus the music choice.

I think he was agreeing with and supporting you. Text tone is hard to read sometimes. Either way I think we are in agreement the screen sketch will work perfect to mimic the Tesla best we can for the time being
