- 2018 Explorer Sport
I love my new 2018 Explorer Sport but I can't stand the lack of physical buttons to adjust the air direction controls. The controls to change air direction is done from the touchscreen which I find very annoying. I've noticed the XLT has the buttons on its interface but some of my fancier features might be missing, like I did not see the seat coolers, so I'm not sure if it is valid possibility to "downgrade" my interface to the XLT version if I lose features.
At the minimum, is there some way to reprogram the existing physical buttons to make it so you can bring up the Climate Control screen on the touchscreen? Like for example the Sound button, I haven't used that button once except for a quicker way to get to the Climate Control screen when using CarPlay which really makes it harder to get to some of the climate controls. Can a button like that be reprogrammed through the dealership to make it do something else? Is that wishful thinking?
Or are there other after market interfaces that might work for me? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Like I said, I love pretty much everything about this Explorer, but after 3 months I still haven't warmed up to how to use the air direction controls.
Thanks!
