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

[bytheway]

I got impatient and upgraded with FDRS. I was stuck on 2.6.2 or something from June. That was the last OTA update I got for some reason. It only took me about 2 hours and most of that was downloading the 5gb file. TBD if I get any further updates now that I’m caught up but I’m happy to have full screen finally.

What VCI Interface did you use?

Is there anything newer than 610? It’s buggy as hell.

I don't use the factory Nav... But it went full screen from day 1.
So far, only google maps goes widescreen. I hear Waze will soon.

After the update, I don't see a full screen map. AA just controls the "tile" on the right side, which is better than before, but still wish it was full screen.

AM I missing something?

So far, only google maps has the option to go full wide. Click on the Map icon, and then click it again to stretch it out

I don't have that option. I think the main thing is my AA hasn't received the Coolwalk update in the rollout from Google yet. Hopefully will have it soon!

Cheers have been trying to figure this out although I do think they did a good job with the partial screen partitions. Just enough to tinker with without feeling like a Tesla.

I got it Sunday finally. Really like the update. Got the Android Coolwalk update Saturday and the next day the Sync update. Been waiting forever it felt like. Anyone else set up Alexa yet? It work ok? Haven't had a chance to set it up.

Same. '22 High... updated yesterday while I was driving.

22 Here and still waiting...

It updated to Power-Up 3.5.2 back on January 10, and nothing since.

Vehicle is parked nightly where it is connected to my home WiFi and has a strong, high speed signal, with updates scheduled for every day of the week, set for 2AM....

I have a 2021 with LUX and it finally updated about 3-weeks ago. When I started it in the morning nothing was new but drove it to the gas station, after the restart after gassing up the download had completed. I must say that I am extremely pleased with the update. Not only did I get full screen Apple CarPlay but it also got rid of a problem I had been having with Apple CarPlay disconnecting completely in the same area where I live. It had gotten so bad that I had stopped using CarPlay and was Bluetooth only. WIth the update that problem is gone and I have had zero disconnects.

You get full width only with Apple/CarPlay...oddly enough the tile control for Android, when I select the expand option, allows my CPC streaming device (booted from CarPlay) to cast in full-width mode (for Netflix/Showtime/etc.). I thought I didn't get full screen until I tested it with a relative's Iphone, and there it was...so I bought the CPC unit because a forum member had confirmed full screen capacity with it.
