About a week ago my screen stayed black for about 2-3 minutes after the first start up. Sirius started playing right away. When the screen lit up the AA button wouldn't respond to touch but everything else worked. Then the next time I started the screen came on as normal but I had to setup AA like it was the first time. My phone had just updated the night before so I chalked it up to an Android thing.

Now today on the 5 start up of the day AA started playing music right away and the Audio button to the left of the AA button would not respond to touch.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

I only use wired Android Auto but this unresponsive screen happens to me sometimes. I have a OnePlus 9 Pro with Android 11 and use Musicolet for my music in AA. When it locks up, I can usually just reconnect my cable and it's back. Sometimes I'm able to use the voice command on my steering wheel and tell it to play a song through Musicolet and then I can start tapping things again. That's like a workaround soft reset. What applications other than Google Maps are you running?

AIMP and Pandora.

Only 1 button has been unresponsive each time so I presume it has to be a software issue.

Cycling AA to full screen and not full screen will sometimes reset it too but it's about 50% success for me

All of my control/app buttons are unresponsive. I think it's only ever been full screen lock or nothing for me. If it's only a single app from the launcher bar that won't load that may point to only that app with the issue, like the process has failed on your phone.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Not sure if this is correct place for this, I have the smaller screen and had been having issues screen locking up..showing only half the screen..and then today got back into Bronco after doing errands and screen is totally black. Made a service appt for Wednesday but this is beyond annoying!! Tried the reset with no luck :(

More weird stuff. About 5 minutes into the 2nd drive of the day the screen rebooted. I'm going to wait for a complete failure or until I'm closer to my 3/36k warranty expiration.
