Is it too much to ask for Ford to give us a true full screen CarPlay? Edge to edge without the tabs at the bottom and redundant time and temperature at the top like other manufacturers. Would looks so much cleaner and a simple button press takes you back to the Ford UI.

while they're at it, they could/should make sync stop trying to wedge its way in, displaying CarPlay pieces in it's own interface!

No, ford, there is not a time or circumstance in which I want anything from sync that exists in CarPlay!

But do let Siri & CarPlay control the radio!

I do not worry about it too much since some software updates change things so no use getting married to whatever is there today.

Apple is exploring something called CarPlay Ultra that takes over all of the displays in the vehicle. Environmental and all other such controls have to be "owned by" CarPlay. If your phone is not with you, turned off or broken, the default vehicle's screens come back.

So far, this is available on just one car line -- Aston Martin. Not sure Ford would be a suitable platform for this.

True full screen would be nice. In my 2016 Escape with Sync 3, carplay is full screen (although a much smaller screen). There is a Ford "app" icon on the carplay screen that reverts to the sync screen should I need to access something there like climate control or radio.

Just about anything that kicks ford sync out of the way, and then kicks it in the teeth a time or two before moving to its ribs and breaking a couple would be welcome.

Hell, even though I wouldn't give up my iPhone, I'd by an android, blackberry, or whatever to leave in the storage bin to keep that misbegotten and abusive system out of my life!

:mad:

amen brother.
i drive a lot of rental cars for work. Ford’s “infotainment” is by far the worst.

If someone could please stop my iphone from switching the radio to iphone, twice after I get in the truck, that would probably be enough to satisfy me lol.
