Thanks. Looks like an additional heater that does not rely on engine's heat to heat up the cabin, something you'd need in extremely cold situations. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() As per my understanding, an auxiliary heater refers to having a proper heat pump in the car (all electric vehicles can have only this kind of unit to achieve heating). Conventional heaters in ICE cars rely on heat exchange with hot coolant - making for a very elegant and efficient way to heat up the cabin, all the while cooling down coolant a little as well. That said, since the Endeavour takes it own sweet time to start really heating on a cold morning (basically, not until the engine reaches operating temperature), I think it doesn't have an auxiliary heater. I think Ford/dealers are using an incorrect term to refer to what is actually the cabin's rear heater, which as I understand it, has a separate heater core. And that is what will be deleted IMO.

Thanks! Is there any explicit mention of "Auxiliary Heater" in the Endeavour's user manual? |

| ![]() Does that mean that the feature deletion will affect the models manufactured from December onwards only? Last edited by 330i : 17th December 2020 at 17:21. |

![]() Yes, all models manufactured on or after 01 December 2020. The "cut off" VIN as seen in the relevant post implies the same. | |

Anyone has better and cheaper suggestion in Bangalore, preferably in whitefield area? Is there a way to check the feature exists or not? Brochure downloaded on November 5th mentions about active noise cancellation, but not in the one downloaded on November 24th. Mine is November manufactured one. | |

BTW, the Ford India website still talks about ANC as a feature - see here. Last edited by cool_dube : 17th December 2020 at 18:51. | ||

| ![]() Thanks to a friend who checked out the December 2020 manufactured Endeavour in person, following are the pictures showing the features deletion: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - apart from Microphone for handsfree calling, other 3 Microphones for ANC have been removed from the roof ![]() Rear Heater removal - The rear HVAC has now been reduced just to AC and there is now only blower speed adjustment knob ![]() ![]() Apart from this, the design of the alloys on the 4x2 versions have been changed back to the original single tone alloys among other changes to the 4x2 variants ![]() |

Another question to Endeavour owners - what is the current provision for heating the car in extreme cold situations, say sub-zero temperatures? Does this change impact the same in any way? Quote:
![]() So, the "Aux Heater" is essentially the rear heater, which is now gone, as confirmed by the post above from A.G.! Mods - apologies for back to back posts. Please merge. Last edited by Sheel : 18th December 2020 at 21:34. Reason: Back to back posts. | |||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Poor Ford! God know what all they are planning to strip off from a well placed product. I had a nightmare that Ford took away all deleted stuffs from my car, which is 2017 version- everything as launched but with Sync 3. Ford do not realise that such deletion are not helping them anyway. Next would be sunroof from 4X2 models. Guys hurry up, if still interested.
