My 20021 still isnt showing the climate button either, but when i realized its easier to use the physical buttons i didnt care to much. Tried master reset and it didnt change anything.

For those who have updated and don't have the climate menu option (and want it), there is a fix using FORScan starting at this post:

I had the same exact issue and this fixed it for me.

Awesome, thanks for this info
Don't know if it is required, but I couldn't get it to work unless I wrote the entire block at once - if I just updated the one value that changed it didn't work. If that makes sense.

What's even easier is just using voice to change the temperature. I never use the climate app in sync 3. I just said it with my voice. If I want to turn the air conditioner off I just reach down to the panel and turn it off. Next time I go to Ford, I'll ask them to install that file that gives me climate back

How do you load the apt file? Should I put forescan on the laptop and hook it up to Bluetooth, through the OBD port?

What value is changed in Forescan for the climate control? If this turns out to be easy I'll go ahead and do it otherwise I can live without climate control icons on the screen

Thank you, Alex, I hooked up my laptop via Bluetooth and connected but I could never get that long list of items you choose from and I think it's because I am on forscan light and they won't let you change anything. So I just paid them to ten bucks so I can do what I need to do.I'll see what happens when I get the full version. I did download the beta version for the Windows 10 and installed it but I never get those long list Al items that can be changed. I'm going to have to get the activation key

Yeah I sent them $10 cuz when I hooked it up to the truck it didn't give me a whole lot of options. The only changes I think I'm going to make is adding the climate back in and add the seat heaters into the display. Other than that I'm just going to follow the thread and see what other people are doing. Mine is activated I'm just waiting for the $50 hook up from Amazon. I want to go direct USB rather than Bluetooth.

Just make sure you've

FYI, since you use it. As long as you have the latest app and voice pack, you can get by with just saying "xx degrees" now. No need to pre-pend the "Set the temperature to..." prior to the temp.

During this lockdown Ive been very tempted to do the update. If I do, when the genuine update comes how will we go from the leaked to genuine version?
