I just received 3.5.3.2! Phooey!

[oneinch]

My truck updated to 3.5.3.2 and now I have full screen Android Auto...or do I? No. No I don't as far as I can tell. The first picture my Android Auto is not in full screen. Maps is on the left and a Ford card is on the right. In the second picture Android Auto is in full screen. No full screen map. The only difference is now the card is an AA card. I don't have access to the Ford cards. If I touch the card it switches positions with Maps. Whoop-Dee-Doo. There aren't that many settings to look at. I see nothing that would change this behavior. If this is all that 3.5.3.2 is for Android, it seems rather pointless.

You, and millions others, are now waiting for Google to update your Android Auto to enable to new layout, nicknamed "Coolwalk". There is no work around without rooting your phone, at the moment. We are the mercy of Google flipping a switch on their end.

So you think Coolwalk will allow Maps to go full screen? I wondered about this. I don't think I have Coolwalk. How do I know? Can't say I rightly know except to look at the media player's progress bar. Mine is still the circular bar like I've always had. My understanding is that Coolwalk changes this to a horizontal screen width linear bar. I don't have this.

No, you do not have the Coolwalk UI, yet. It will look much different (you can google it to see examples). And yes, the few users on here that do have Coolwalk, have been able to do full-screen maps.

Yes, positive I've had the beta for months

If a family member has an iPhone, try checking in CarPlay and it’ll let you verify full screen works. CarPlay has had full screen support a little while now, so any reasonably up to date iPhone should work.

I believe your android auto has to be 8.8 for it to be full screen

I received my Coolwalk blessing this morning. Sounds like many people did.

No, it just has to be activated by Google. I got it activated today and my AA version is 8.6.625.

What clued you in to this? Notification or just that things looked differently?

It just looked very different. I go no notification of any kind.
