I find it difficult to tweak the temperature setting while driving. I'd like to see that adjustment function be at the knob for a few seconds when the temp slider is activated. (Each detent = 1 degree and push to off)

I was unclear. I was attempting to get ideas for "Volume Knob Uses" in one thread. God forbid anyone should think that I would think that my observation was original .

I mentioned this in my review. It could do so much more

I’ve highly recommended this idea in both my meetings with the Ford team. And they are reading this forum. I hope they are working on it. But they have not mentioned this as a future enhancement. Keep pinging Ford about it.

I completely agree that it is difficult to set temperature with the slider when you are driving. Consequently, I always use the Voice Activation Feature. Just push the button and say “set temperature to ___”. Using the radio knob would be more difficult than current Voice Activation.

I rarely think to use "Okay, Ford." It makes me fell like I'm cheating on Alexa. o_O

That is how I’ve always set the temp as well.

I agree. Have that knob be a function of the HVAC when the HVAC screen is active.
I would really like to see a feature that you could program hotkeys along the top of the screen to perform any existing function, like turning on/off 1PD, turning on the camera for parking (in drive), Open the hatch or frunk, drive mode, etc. Having to change screens to do something while driving is a pain and not safe. We bought the MME over the TMY because there are more buttons and such, but my old Rav4EV was better than all of them with regards to this. the Touchscreen only had anciliary things, and HVAC, radio, etc. were all conventional (for a toyota).
