(debunked lol) android auto not available on base bronco

[BE_]

in a bizarre twist, it would appear android auto and apple carplay, 2 features that are standard even on the budgetist of budget cars, can only be gotten through the mid(+) package, and not "a la carte" on the standard.

here is a screenshot of the big bend options:

and here is the base options:

as we can see here, the base bronco is locked to standard, while the big bend can be upgraded to mid:

though, oddly enough, apple carplay/android auto is not listed in the mid package description...

so all we really know from this is that apple carplay/android auto is not available on the base bronco, it is likely that any bronco with the standard package will lack them.

i know a lot of y'all are old folks and probably don't care, but the only thing about the piece of junk korean car i am driving now i like better than my old XJ is the map that comes up on the touchscreen when my phone is plugged in.

edit: ford is apparently claiming this is a mistake, will be standard on all broncos

I don't understand? Can I connect my phone with Bluetooth and listen to podcasts? That's all I want. Even an aux cord is good enough. What's apple and Android play or whatever do?

Bluetooth should be fine. AA/AC basically just mirror your phone on the screen (with compatible apps).

Very nice!

However, how many times has this reveal been delayed by external forces to allow these things to be cleaned up?

Thank goodness that’s the case. I was going to go up a trim possibly just so I could get CarPlay.

Cool, it was a mistake. I was kind of like WTF no AP/AA. We actually use it a bit as the maps are nice to mirror. I was wondering if it was a play to get people to buy subscription navigation based service by locking AA/AP out unless you got a trim level to activate it.
