Yep, I refuse to pay for Ford's navigation. As of now neither carplay, nor android auto, can turn on battery preconditioning in my van. I've been monitoring the battery heater state in an app just in case it starts working in a future update. Recently an update finally allowed carplay to read my E-Transit's SOC when connected.

It would be nice if I could figure out some way to just force it on with a switch/aftermarket module talking to the canbus.
