FordPass app - Climate controls appeared then disappeared

[m_bt54]

I have a 21 Powerboost and am running the most recent iOS beta app 5.26.0 and do not have access to climate controls when I remote start

I thought I had read that only 24+ models get the climate controls from the app these days

How do I find what version I have?

On FordPass select the upper right graphic for account, then on the bottom of that page.

Ah. Thanks for that. So I have a PB. How do I know if I have the latest version?

I have a 2025 Lariat and I didn't have climate controls before. It's probably been 1 - 2 weeks since I used remote start from the phone, most of the time it's from the key fob. Glad this was called out.

Reading this carefully and looking for why some do/some don't...

I suspect my not having access to climate controls on a remote start is due to not having Fordpass connect (Premium Connectivity).

Does anyone have Climate Control and not have the premium connectivity ($10/month)? And does anyone not have Climate control but believe they meet all three above requirements?

I have a 2024 F150 XLT, SYNC4, Pixel 9, Premium Connectivity and I lost climate control settings when the app updated to version 5.25. Downloaded version 5.26, still no climate controls. So I downgraded to version 5.24 and I got all functionality back

It says electric vehicles only

Where do you see the word "only"

Where did you find a working APK? All I could find were ones with bloatware

I did Uptodown, installed their downloader, downloaded and installed apk 5.24, then deleted their installer. Just make sure to turn off auto app updates in Android. You'll have to manually update other apps until Ford decides to release their new app but it's worth it to have functionality back

Thanks that worked, twice actually... Forgot to dismantle automatic updates.

Do you think the devs even know/care or are they headed towards making that function subscription based?

I have only seen their replies to user reviews in the Play store, but from there they're saying they're working on a new app. Honestly though who knows.

I know man. Made me sick. It worked for me in the morning, by afternoon I got the same message. I'll let you know if I find a workaround.
