Apple Carplay / Android Auto expand display

I believe if you take a look at the very first post in this thread you'll see the arrows in the top left corner

Okay thanks. I don't have those arrows. Guess I'll just keep waiting for the update.

Thanks for sharing, it looks so good . I'll get really excited when I start seeing pics of 21's lol

My Job 1 2021 is updated and has this - but I did it via FDRS, not OTA.

Has this update been scrapped? I'm surprised by now it isn't rolling out to people, and that it's not being discussed anymore. I have a 2022 Tremor 402a, it's hooked up to wifi when in my garage and it has a good wifi signal. I set it to update every night with a 10 hour window every night.

Last update I have is the 3.5.1 the one about prepping for future updates.


Also a side question, I know Jesse isn't giving out files anymore but just for my curiosity when everyone says they use FDRS to manually update, is this a part of Forscan or is this something only Jesse has access to?

Many of us purchased the Mongoose adapter and license for FDRS (Ford Diagnostic Repair System.... So not Forscan)

We then updated our trucks, rather than wait for OTA or have a dealership touch the truck.

Look for the infamous FDRS thread. It's legendary here.

Post #1 pretty much explains everything.

This might be the route I take if coolwalk comes out but not the SYNC update.

I saw a post on here stating Coolwalk update is out for beta testers and to be released in 2023.

What’s coolwalk?

 

[Kanuck]

Coolwalk is a part of AA and CP that is needed for full display. It is an update for your phone if I understanding it correctly.

What’s coolwalk?

Coolwalk allows you to see multiple things on Android auto. Carplay basically already has it. With AA right now full screen will let you see nav, or, music, or whatever. But only one at a time, coolwalk fixes that.

My Android auto updated this morning. Now able to see Google maps in full screen.

This is why I'm holding off on the cable and license, with my luck I'd pay for everything and the OTA would roll out the next day haha.

2 things needed to happen in order for Android users to have full screen Google maps.

1. Ford needed to release an update to allow Android auto to use the entire screen real estate
2. Google needed to release an update to Android auto to allow maps and other apps to take up the entire app. (In widescreen audio controls were permanently docked to the side much like the default Ford UI)

Both of these updates are now in the early phases of roll out (within the past 3 months). This is a big deal for anyone using an Android device. From my understanding Apple CarPlay has supported full screen maps for quite some time.

Note that the new version of Android Auto "coolwalk" is only available for beta testers currently and is expected to fully roll out within the next 6 months

Yup, my brother has apple car play in his Silverado, he has a smaller screen so its full screen. As much as I dislike Apple products, as of right now CarPlay is superior. Coolwalk is definitely a step in the right direction.

@zacko11288 @grrrizo Are you guys both signed up for the AA beta so luckily have it enabled for you already?

I've been lucky enough to be on the beta since AA first offered it years ago.
