No heated seats icon on mine after the upgrade, but the icon wasn't there before, either.

Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

But I'm assuming that you had heated seats on the main screen from the get-go, right? I don't think this update fixes anything other than restoring Climate Control. Even though I have heated seats, the controls were not on Sync. I added them via Forscan, and they remained after applying this update.

I don't have or use Forscan. Yes, I never lost the heated seat icons from my display, probably because I didn't apply the update prior to this latest one that broke that.

I had the heated seats on the main screen when I first got the truck. I found an option to turn it off because I thought it was stupid to have them on the screen when there's a hard switch with lighted indicators right below it on the console, and I thought it just cluttered the interface. I don't know if there's still an option somewhere to toggle them off and on, I'm happy that they're still gone. It's a mystery whether there were supposed to be seat controls on the screen at all, whether there should be now, whether their state depends on configuration options, etc. Almost certainly it's a bug that they seem to be random, but I have no idea what ford intended.

I don't. The Sync QA team are almost certainly testing against an assumed-static configuration, not one that's been modified by customer end-users who have been playing around with their settings using Forscan.
I'm assuming that the reason I have never lost my heated seat control icons on my screen is either related to a) not installing a previous update, which likely removed those icons as a bug, and/or b) that I've never used Forscan on my truck. I'm not saying that people shouldn't use it, but I have no desire to use it myself.

Yeah, I was thinking along those same lines. The physical controls, which do exactly the same thing, are just a few inches below the Sync screen. I don't get why anyone would consider this to be a blocker to upgrading, but, to each their own.

I have no problem using the physical buttons either, I just found it odd that some have it on the SYNC screen and some don't.Yeah, I was thinking along those same lines.

This is a panic-based reaction to a non issue. I believe I had the seat controls on the climate page when I had 3.3. I do not have them with 20282. Unlike the rest of the climate controls however, if you have heated seats, you have physical buttons to turn them on and off that are far more convenient than finding them in a UI anyway. I thought it was weird, but don't miss it or need it. I did not have them on my front page like @Al Gordon did. On my 3.3, they were buried in the climate and then "More" page. I had to press the UI 3 times just to get to them. Other than this, the 20282 release fixed a lot and has no issues that I'm aware of.

With 3.3 I did not originally have them on my home page and was not even aware if they were on the climate screen sub menu. Which I agree is an inconvenient and stupid place for them. I added them to my home screen with Forscan and they have stayed through all the updates. Even after I lost the climate careen and had to restore it with Forscan.

Finally did the update to 3.4. No issues with the install. Everything is working as it should be. Just have to get used to the color scheme.

That is somewhat changeable in Forscan. Just go to a Lincoln theme if you want to get rid of the blue.

Just ordered a OBDLINK cable to get into Forscan. I have used Forscan before. Hopefully it won't be too intimidating.
