Default Voice Command limitations (OK FORD)

I just turned this on and noticed that I cannot do some things.

1. Cannot tell it to change the fan speed in climate ctrl
2. Cannot tell it to change music volume ( I know just use steering wheel buttons)

Maybe its possible to do 1 and 2 above but I am not using the proper voice command, chime in if you know of a way for either.

My question is has anyone found other things they cannot control via voice commands, i.e. "OK Ford set cruise ctrl to 100 km/h" (again steering wheel)

Quite the opposite in my case, yesterday wile driving the truck paired with my old phone that I had with me instead of the new phone. I could't make a call until I figured that out, I killed bluetooth on the old phone and told the truck to pair to phone, and it worked,
Thought that was pretty cool and I didn't have to stop and shut off the truck, and turn it back on.

A 2021 F150 can pair and operate with a flip phone? Didn't realize it was that backwards compatible.

Where was a flip phone mentioned? My last flip was four phones back, and I keep them until they die.

Yeah, I figured that would be confusing.
I think it was Lemming yesterday stating he has a flip phone so I thought I'd harass him for a moment at the expense of this thread getting derailed.

Yes, flipphones do have bluetooth, and yes, they pair with the truck just fine.

Your point?

I wish when I got a text and had it read to me that I could say something like "OK Ford respond to text with pre stored text number 8". Ford has these pre stored texts in the screen that you can respond to a text with but they are so hard to call up, and you have to take your eyes off of the road for so long, that it's not possible to use them. What good are they ? And why can't I just respond with one of them by saying the number that is posted right in front of each text ????

Coming from a couple of Dodges and also owning an Acura I have to give props to Sync for being the most intuitive and responsive system I have had experience with. My wife doesn’t even use her Acura’s Nav or any other voice operated functions because she gave up on waiting for it to learn to understand her and she was amazed at how the Sync system in my Powerboost gets it right every time if you wait for the beep and use the right phrases.

I have zero complaints.
