2015 to 2017 Subtle Changes

[slythetove]

Sounds on par with mine. I can't comment on the intake noise. I wonder if they use a different sound tube design, or if they have added engine sounds through the audio system on the 17's.?
My modes are all grey in my 16 pp. The only thing yellow that shows up is the Traction control light.

I wonder if anyone with a 2015 PP can confirm the mode icons are grey or colored. That would confirm it's PP specific (which I think it is considering the line about different stability tuning in the info).

I don't think they are doing any audio system piping of sound, but if they are it's phenomenally realistic because I can't tell. I am guessing it's potentially a sound tube change. Driving my step dad's 2015 manual back to back with my 2017 pp it was very noticeably different.

The only trouble I have is I don't have a 2015 performance pack to compare - that would tell me if it's a perf pack thing or a 2017(16) thing.

Mine was built 24 Aug 2015. Looks like ford made a minor software change between September of 2015 to November of 2015

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds these subtle changes interesting!

My 16 does not keep cooled seat position.

Strange. Mine does:shrug:

Mine too. And I wish the same thing. :frusty:

My build was April.

My 2016 does NOT retain the cooled/heated seat setting from the previous drive. I would be curious to know the build dates of the guys with the remembered setting vs. the guys who cars don't retain the setting.

Mine keeps it. Built 5/16...Literally the last of the 16's DIB built

I am going to fight the urge to replace them as long as I can, but I will eventually lose that battle I just know it!

I believe you are referring to when remote starting the vehicle - or starting it "manually", is this correct? If so - then temp settings for both HVAC and Seats will remain at last user setting IF your Settings are or were changed in the Display Settings via the steering wheel menus.

From steering wheel, cycle through main menu to:
Vehicle Settings >> Remote Start >> Climate Control (Auto or "Last Setting") >> Seats (Off or "Auto").

From Owners Manual:

Automatic Settings

In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C). The cooled seats are set to high (if available, and selected to AUTO in the information display).

In moderate weather, the system either heats or cools (based on previous settings). The rear defroster, heated mirrors and heated seats do not automatically turn on.

In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C). The heated seats are set to high (if available, and selected to AUTO in the information display). The rear defroster and heated mirrors automatically turn on.

Now, I am not sure if the above applies to ALL model years and ONLY "Premium" models with certain option groups. I do know for a fact my 2016 Premium w/PP does retain both Seat & HVAC settings in my last chosen configuration. My build was October 2015, received December 26, 2015.
