SYNC Voice activated fan speed?

Does anyone know if it is possible to control the blower fan speed with voice as can be done for temperature or is this not possible? Not clear in the documentation. What is the voice command to increase or decrease blower speed? Manual infers it is possible...

Controlling your climate settings (if your vehicle is equipped) is convenient and easy with SYNC® 3. For cabin comfort, you can use SYNC 3 to adjust a variety of climate control features, including temperature, defrost controls, and fan speed.

I've never been able to get it to work, so I'd be curious what the wording is to use

You can not change fan speed only. Must be with temperature
1 This option may not be available in all markets or may require a subscription. Climate Voice Commands You can control the temperature of the vehicle using voice commands. ___ is a dynamic listing, meaning that for climate voice commands it can be the desired degrees for the temperature setting. To adjust the temperature, say: Voice command Description Adjust the temperature between 60–85°F (15.5–29.5°C). Climate Set Temperature __

We've determined you "can't" however you are supposed to be able to in Sync:

Turn up/down fan speed
“Climate” | pause | “<Increase/Decrease> fan speed”


Use minimum fan speed
“Climate” | pause | “Min fan”


Use maximum fan speed
“Climate” | pause | “Max fan”

We’ve reached that point where simply pushing a button is too much work.

Except ya have to push a button to use Voice Activation LOL

To be honest the buttons on my 2019 were redesigned slightly over my previous 2016 F150 that it makes it way easier to NO LOOK adjust the fan, location etc

Yep, mine is on a clip that hangs off my belt. I get in Start engine with a push button, while arm is extended push Auto Start Stop button. End of story no cost at all.

That will still be too much for some. I will upgrade when we can just think and start the vehicle.

There in lies the problem. I have absolutely nothing in any of my pockets while I drive. Key in the ignition. Phone and wallet on the console. Works for me.
