Apple Carplay / Android Auto expand display

[Jesse-Infotainment]

10-4, do you expect that this will deploy to 21's?

I dont.

If it does it would be in three months when the BC maps are expired again

THis is not factual this is my opinion

Doh! I missed that. Thanks!

Don't feel too bad. I had never noticed it before myself and I don't think I have missed hardly a post that he has ever made.

That problem is solved now though.
Hope his wife enjoys steak!

By the way, I think what I am enjoying most about this update is that Android Auto now keeps the IP scaled for navigation even in between next turn events. In other words, this morning I said "Alexa, route me to work"

I wanted to see if/what might be different with the update and Android Auto enabled. Almost instantly the Instrument Panel scaled down the tachometer and speedometer to make room for navigational information, but it stayed that way even without navigation prompts displayed yet. Has it always been like that? I thought I only witnessed the scaling when a Nav-next-alert was called for?

Anyways, I think the IP looks far sharper when it's scaled that way. So crisp and vibrant.

I believe this has always been the case, it's like that currently on my 21

My 22 has always done that.

Thanks guys.
Just goes to show there's more going on in this thing than I have brain cells to commit to it.

I noticed that your Android auto buttons are on the left side of the screen verse on the bottom, has that always been the case? The UI also seems very different between the 21's and the 22's, this may be part of the reason the rollout is slower for 21's, just a guess

Must be from the update. I have a 22 and mine are at the bottom.

Yeah so are mine

I believe that's consistent with how Android auto looks when it scales, I think this is what the cool walk update builds on.

@zacko11288 @TJE Even with Android Auto using Google Maps?

With SYNC Nav, I've seen this, but I'm with Bruce that I don't remember seeing that with AA nav specifically.

I've only ever used Google maps with android auto. I seem to remember noticing it the first time I used it, 60 miles from the next turn. I'll have to double check it next time I think of it, I haven't had any updates yet so nothing should have changed.

Correct, my controls are always at the bottom

I believe he's referring to the navigation scaling down all the time in the gauge cluster, not the location of the buttons

Apologies, yes, I always use Google maps with Android auto and the gauges shrink down like you've described.

 

[Snakebitten]

I do admit that I may be confused, as I stated earlier, but I thought that I had seen my instrument cluster scale down when a large graphic alert was triggered, then scale back up after the graphic disappeared.
And while I've used both Nav programs, native Sync Nav and Google maps, I didn't note which behaved one way or another.

Regardless, the truck just keeps getting better and more mature software wise. The technology race is definitely ramping up in the automotive world and I'm enjoying.
