Outside air temperature reading.

I complained in a previous post that my 2015 Platinum did not have an outside temp guage and many of you had the same complaint. I finally called Ford to complain and found mine. It is under "clock" in settings. Why it is under the clock settings is beyond my understanding but it is there, at least in my case.

The default setting from the factory is "OFF". One more touch on the screen to "ON" and WOW, there it is!
I hope this will help some of you.

If you ever have time to sit in the driveway and navigate all of the menus and sub-menus, you will be amazed at all of the stuff you uncover. I tried using the Sync guide book that came with my truck to try to figure some things out, but it barely scratches the surface of what's available. For instance, you can select to have your front windows roll down just by pressing and holding the unlock button on your key-fob. (Too bad it will not function similarly to close them by holding the lock button, nor will it operate any other windows or the sunroof, but it's still kind of cool.)

I was wondering how that worked. Just haven't gotten that deep into things yet.

I'm more concerned with how to do it. I didn't know it was something that could be done. Could be an option with the newer units. I don't think that's possible on my '11.

I assumed that was what you wanted Andre, but being a guy and not liking written instructions, I was grabbing photo instructions for you. I don't know if this works on pre-'13's or not, but here's the process on mine.




I cropped/re-sized a picture of my kids and used it for my wallpaper, but there are pre-sized pics online as well.





I have imported several wallpaper picture options, but have stayed with using my kids instead.





Go to the settings tab, select edit wallpaper. One of the options is to import. Have your properly sized picture on a thumb drive in the USB port and import away!

Thanks for sharing how to do that. Chuck and I might be left holding the door, but I'll bet some others will benefit from the walk thru!!!

Rep that man, please
