Does this update allow this screen on the 8"? I would love to have AA maps open but also see my climate controls at the same time.

The updates great so far. Anyone try the advanced duel phone thing they are talking about?

And what changed in the backup camera? I can't remember what it was before.

That happened to me also. I thought it was just my connection, maybe now Im not so sure. It didnt initially load up on my way to work, but I stopped at a convenience store and when I came back and started the truck again, it loaded up no problem. Thats when I saw the changes.

Were you on Bluetooth or plugged in?

I was on bluetooth only. I never plug directly in while Im in the car.

No update on my 8-in. I'm starting to think it's for 12s only or at least in the beginning. The original tweet from Michael Levine mentioned it being rolled out to 12 in also. Hopefully it comes out because I can't stand the current way of having to get out of Android auto to do anything else.

For everyone using Apple CarPlay. Mine was on the top left of the screen to go full screen. Above the time. Just got the update as well

I wonder if I can get YouTube TV to play on the screen now.

I updated my phone this morning, and I dont know if there was an automatic update in the bronco, but I now have full screen android auto.

I added some pics to see the changes. I have a Google Pixel 6 with android version 13.

I wish I could be of more help here but that sounds beyond my realm of knowledge unfortunately. My phone just updated itself, and I happened to notice the change when I got in the car

Sideloading is how one installs Apps in Android without going through the Google Play Store. Android install files have a suffix of ".apk". One of the better online sources for all things Android, IMO, is xda-developers. The attached link points to an overview there about sideloading. As to where to download . . . kind of really need to know what it is you are supposed to download.

How to sideload Android .apk files

Wait...can you watch youtube videos on your 12 inch screen? Did you install one of those boxes or is it out of the box with Android Auto?

I started a thread a couple days ago on this, hoping to get some input on what boxes folks are using, what works and what doesnt.
But yeah, netflix, you tube, any android app...

I received the update as well but now my factory navigation text all begins with KIPcommand then followed by what its supposed to say. Even the Nav button on the bottom says KIPcommandnav

Mine did that for a few days before and it cleared up

My old FE got the update today, but for me it's kinda a repeat.
