RIP Car Icon (2019 - 2023)

[Gullwingdmc]

I feel like we need a memorial video of the car icon. Obviously, set to this music…




Or damn, maybe this IS the memorial video.

It’s sad. Hopefully Ford brings it back, and makes the other buttons more aesthetically pleasing while they are at it

Yes to all of that

It’s ok. More of a novelty to me because I don’t adjust the fan or heated seats ever, and the temp only goes up for down by a few degrees so it’s easier to press the + - buttons than use the knob.

At first I thought so too…but now I find myself using the butt warmer knob all the time.

I put my seat heaters on auto when I bought the car and haven’t touched them since.

I never get any updates anyway, so if you really miss the icon, feel free to trade cars with me for a day. Especially GT owners!

I figured I would start a memorial page for all that miss this nice detail.

RIP car icon, I will miss you.
I’m sorry that your descendants are a huge disappointment.

How are we supposed to know what kind of car we are driving now?

Don't worry about that, they added a pic that takes up 1/3rd of the screen in case you forgot what car you took to work. Very good use of screen space

I hope that nice picture of myself will be still on top of the screen indicating it's my profile

You beat me to it! There’s now a giant functionally useless picture of the car with tiny buttons shoved up in the corner to open the frunk/charge port/trunk.

Don’t worry that stayed thankfully.

Maybe I'm the only one that gets annoyed that it's black one time and white others. Drives me crazy. My car is white. Let me have a white icon. If it was red or blue I've be more annoyed with a white or black icon.

the update doesn't seem "so bad"

How we measure 'progress' these days is amazing.

I would much rather they customized it to the car and trim. There are a bunch of combos I know, color, trim, day/night, but that wouldn’t take that much space or time.

I miss it too but Ford will save so much money not creating car-specific icons and opting for the squiggly line one-size-fits-all icon. So much money

Tens of dollars, thousands of cents.

I’ll donate my time to generate out the different color combos if they bring it back.

I always hated the car icon. It wasn’t the amazing Grabber Blue color. If it was I would absolutely love to have on the UI still.
