I think it's weird that 3.2.1 mentions Alexa. I have Alexa already. So what is it adding really? Or is that for '21 trucks that didn't have Alexa yet?

My 2021 Lariet is fully updated via FDRS and doesn't currently have Alexa (not that I really want it). Did yours come from the factory with it or was there a recent update?

My '22 had Alexa when I bought it in March of this year.

22s came with it. I think 21s are getting up to where the 22 Job2s are, but the SYNC versions don't match between the years.

Yeah, the only thing that gives me concern is that the updates for 21 and 22 aren't in sync yet. Is this the one that gets everyone on the same page, since we would need the full screen and dual phone, too?

When I have Car Play enabled, I'm unable to use the speak icon to call someone that is in my contacts. I have to disable Car Play on my iphone to get it to work. Anyone else experience the same?

Dual phones seems cool, but I miss that in my '17 it gave me details of my phone that's connected in the header bar. Now I just get "phone list" (no battery meter, which is what I miss)

I'm pretty sure mine always says "phone list". I'll check in a bit.

edit, nevermind. I get what you mean... I want it still to display because I don't always use aa (i.e. I listen to the radio a lot), but o always have it connect.

Go to www.NHTSA.gov. Select Ratings. Type in year, make, model. Select from the menu of vehicles. Scroll down to Manufacturer Communications.
That's a great tip, thank you!

Are you holding the button down for an extended time? With Android Auto enabled a short press brings up sync, a long press brings up Android Auto voice recognition so I can make hands free calls, etc.

Anyone have an update on when 3.2.1 might be coming out? Are we talking in the next month or next year?
