Hands Free icon shows even when disengaged #120

Describe the bug

When BP-6 boots and before touching any controls, the Hands Free icon appears within the left tachometer display. It is visible even before or after BP is enabled with the steering wheel ACC button. This is different from stock ADAS on the Ranger. Stock ADAS shows the icon when enabled and removes it when disabled.

Note that stock ADAS now displays the hands free icon if enabled even when the Comma disconnected,. Stock Ranger ADAS did not display that icon at all before running BP-6. i.e. BP changed something in the Ford interface that persists after disconnecting the Comma. It's not a big deal, but it is probably not what was intended.

I used bp-6.0.1-beta up through the last day. I did not see this hands free icon during the entire use of that branch. When I installed bp-6, I am 98% sure I still did not see it. This icon only started showing after I changed Show Hands Free UI to true, drove for a short time, and then set Hands Free UI to false. It is currently set to false.

Opinion incoming - I prefer the blue lines around and in front of the car icon to indicate when BP or stock ADAS is engaged. I think the way BP uses those blue lines very effectly to show when it is fully active and when only MADS is active. The steering wheel icon is superfluous and just clutters the display. I can see no new information it adds that the blue lines do not already convey. As always, IMHO.

Which car does this affect?

Ford Ranger Lariat 2024
