Can we please have a night time/silent/camp mode please

[Lightning Bronson]

I just want to sleep or nap without the instrument cluster, ambient lights, and infotainment screens go full blast when you turn the headlight knob to off.

All I want is the HVAC to work with all the lights off. Treat the infotainment screen light a phone lock screen, where you can temporarily wake the screen to change temperature or see the time, with an auto screen time off, or something. The screens are just a giant waste of energy...


Just let me sleep in peace without being so easily noticed!

I keep a small towel in the centre console to drape over the instrument cluster

Fuse 13 is the cluster.
Fuse 29 is the center screen.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- on my PRO SR, there is a center button to 'turn off' the center screen, if you wish
- for 'overnight' annoyance of driver screen remaining on, put it on CALM, then drape a towel over it, or stuff a towel INTO it...

all in all, though, while this seems an annoyance, the truck IS on, so, it stands to reason that these 'lights' will obviously remain on, as it would in ANY vehicle.

in the future, we may see a software update to allow ProPower, or the truck itself, to remain ON, while no vehicle-specific lighting or screens have to remain powered, or at least can eventually turn themselves OFF after a specific designed time.

I miss the days when I could pick a slight grade, sneak out (or into) a driveway-house late- later kick a car into neutral, release the brake, drift quietly down the road with tires crunchy slightly. Dome light off, dead dark. Total stealth mode. Nowadays the trucks light up like 1st Avenue and sounds like a video game.

I can accept the lights staying on, IF it didn't set itself to max brightness on its own. Calm screen doesn't help.

Lariat+ don't have the ability to turn off the infotainment screen whatsoever either.

You can enable Silent Mode with FORScan.

You can turn off the center screen in Lariat by pressing down and rotating the wheel on the screen. I think the backlight might stay on, but the screen goes black until you touch it.

Forget asking Ford for camp mode, dog mode, generator mode, etc... because they've barely gotten any updates out in 3+ years, there's no way they are going to get anything big done.
