What year and trim level is your truck? Mine doesn't turn down A/C at all. Are you using those integrated crap phone apps (forgot their names)? I just use bluetooth, and zero issues. But I haven't have to crank it too hard; maybe at 4 max when receiving calls (I hang up very quickly while driving though), and it stays there.

I have an XLT with manual climate controls. When I am hooked up to Bluetooth and my phone rings, or when making outgoing calls the AC turns down to 3 out of like 7 or 8.
It it also turns down when texting. Super annoying.

I've searched and couldn't find any info on this, but is it possible to change the speed that the auto high beams enable themselves? 50km/h is just way too low, 70 would be way more useful/not annoying.

Not sure what year truck you have, but in the troubleshooting/how things operate paperwork I have, they don't list a speed as something to activate the auto high beams, its all depending on a interior mirror camera that's looking for light in front of you, either headlights or tail lights and your head light switch being in the auto position. This is for a 2015, 2018 maybe different.

Now that you mention this, I do remember it happening in my XL. I'm more likely to have the fan on high during the winter. I usually don't get many calls while driving which is fine with me.

Sorry Gordy, updated my sig after posting this.
2017 Lariat 502A
The system is supposed to not engage high beam when under a certain speed (50km/h engages and 40km/h turns them off in my truck). I've found that driving through some towns the street lights aren't bright enough for the camera to tell the system not to engage, so i'm driving through towns with my high beams on.
I was hoping to change that so they system would be a little more useful, as it stands i basically have to turn the feature off.
If it's not an option it's not an option though
I did do heated cooled seats in home and climate screens, auto fold mirrors and tilt mirrors. I feel like I have the truck it should have been now
Thank you for all you help in this Gordy! Wicked, wicked mods!
Need to find a 2015 Escape spreadsheet now lol
