Temperature readout showing in HVAC control knobs for 2023 F-150?

[nicholsbradley]

I added mine back to my 2022 $141.00 on ford parts all day long. If someone is paying 200 and more they are nuts...

Would you be so kind as to share the part numbers? Did you just buy the actual knobs?

Dang, that's tempting. Is Forscan magic involved or do these simply plug in and you are off to the races?

I usually scour the internet for these things when I purchase them. I mean I have gotten good deals on A LOT of stuff. But this is one I got boned on

I believe it was @FrankThompson that discovered the only real work you have to do to it, as far as programming, is dropping your as-builts into it when installing

Also, I believe the price of these must've come down recently, because I'm fairly certain I looked on the ford parts site and they were $400-500. But memory is a fickle thing

Mine were plug and play. I removed old and replaced new.

I thought they was going to be allot more looking on ebay and forms seeing what people were asking. So just for giggles looked at ford and u see what I paid.

Do you have a DTC, being a new unit and all?

Not that I am aware of . No dash lights and have not used forscan to verify

Dayum that's a good price. When I got mine they were going for $300+ and I felt lucky to get mine for just over $200.

This is only the case if you've gotten a used one. if you get a new one that's never been programmed, you have to load your asbuilt onto it. You'll still get a DTC because it's not programmed for your VIN, but there is no CEL or anything due to it.

How do you program it to your vin? Just a Forscan change?

as far as I know a dealer has to do it. I've never done it and don't plan to. The only benefit is the DTC goes away which I only see if I scan for codes.

Holy &@*% !
That is a massive price drop and any one who held off this long really lucked out. I thought @nicholsbradley ran into a fluke or bug, lol. but looking up the part I see it is currently $105 to $109 everywhere !!
@dolsen, your memory was right on. These were in the $400’s during the summer no matter where you went.
They must have them stacked to the ceiling and want to get rid of them. Ford does ‘rebuild’ these. I saw some places were adding core charge buying ‘new’, but got one from a dealer not enforcing. If someone had it work plug and play, good chance it was a refurb. But at $100 who cares.
As noted in the other threads, a new never installed can’t communicate with the truck. The Forscan as-built configures one to be able to communicate and work. Mine being new would not work until I wrote my as-built back. The DTC requires firmware, which os FDRS flash or sweet taking a dealer into doing it. I’m fine with the DTC, stat effect anything.
I may get another one out of principle. Dollar cost averaging will make me feel better maybe

I recall having an '03 Mercury Grand Marquis LSE that had temp and fan speed setting on the steering wheel. Not sure why they stopped doping that. I thought it was a handy feature.
Not enough room for all the buttons nowadays maybe?

my 2002 and 2006 f350 had them as well
