Fullscreen Apple CarPlay OTA Update Coming Soon! - Per Ford (Mike Levine)

[j_anderson]

What’s the unreal theme?

I'm wondering this too. FINALLY got full screen CarPlay in my '21 last night but dont see any other changes except being able to expand CarPlay (which is GREAT). The look of the unreal theme from the pics people have posted look great. how do I apply it?

You must use Forscan to activate theme. See Forscan thread - spreadsheet on F150 forums

Mine finally updated last night (Sept 2021 build). Over the weekend I changed the update schedule from Sunday night at 2 am to every night at 2 am. Don't know if this broke the ice, but it's worth a try if you're waiting...

I updated without issue using FDRS and a VCM II. Took about two hours. The longest part was writing the usb stick.

Mine updated overnight (OTA, nothing done via computer). Nov 2021 Build Date. Don't know if it mattered or not, but had the emergency break on overnight.

Interesting fact, is I have my auto updates to install at 2:00am (est) but got my notification via Ford app for last night at 10:12pm

Woke up today to an updated layout! I was pretty excited, to say the least.

I'm using Android Auto so it's noticeably different from Apple Carplay, but without further ado:

Here is the original without full screen:

And here is the updated version in full screen mode:

You can tell by the arrow on next to the Android Auto button that it's in full screen mode because arrow indicators show it's pushed out, but other than that, I cannot tell.

Super cool update, and the best part is that the right third section of the screen now has less functionality since it ONLY shows the current audio.

Couldn't be happier.

Sarcasm? Best part is less functionality?

Sarcasm, optimism, same thing.

I got some kind of update pushed last night. It's been pouring rain so I'll have to go check it out and a bit. I guess patience wins the day?

Patience. Common sense. Same thing.

It is / was not soon per any definition.

No kidding! I’m still waiting for it too. I keep tweeting at Levine every so often and he just comes back with “the updates are going out in waves”. Some damn slow waves for sure!

No, it is not the same thing.

Interesting mix of quick access options in these screenshots. Some have Ambient Lighting + Climate, and then you've got neither and are missing Navigation. Did Ford follow through on the rumor that Nav was being removed from 2023 models?

Well I found my climate screen is my fault from forscan. The ambient light is actually the favorites button enabled. I did the color changing ambient lights under dash,seat and cup holders that can be adjusted on the sync screen. Now I don’t have to dig for it in the menu to change the color.

You don't have the NAV section. I wish the same for me...

I haven’t tried but you could probably turn off the NAV domain in forscan. Once the free 3 year thing is up I may do just that.
