On the 12" screen how were you able to remove the Ford "cards" from the right side? My phone just got the AA update last night and I like the new look but the right side of my 12" screen still has the Ford cards showing and I wish I could remove them

Your truck needs the 3.5.3 update from Ford in order for that to work.

Loving the Android Auto update. I like have the ford panel but it's nice to switch it up and have the podcast app up with the map on the full screen. I don't think I'll ever use full screen map, but its nice to have a d I know others like it.

You can't force an update. there are countless threads about this. If you are on 2.7.4, you are well behind in updates and it will be a while before you see 3.5.3 sent to you. Ford pushes the updates completely at random.

That sucks that it is that far behind, I have had auto update turned on and the last one I received was 2.7.4 back in October of 2022

It is a very common issue. Ford's OTA process is very broken.
