Software Update for Full Screen CarPlay

[LuckyKnuckle36]

Love the update, got mine a few days ago. The full screen Carplay may seem minor but really is a great update and so fortunate it's just OTA. The way it should have always been, full screen...

definitely seems to be random on the customer side. I got the full screen CarPlay / Alexa update over a week ago and 3.5.4 (dual phone accessibility at once) today. looks like some got them in reverse order.

I had my 22 on a maintainer charger and it went into deep sleep after sitting for about two weeks. I have it wired to the cable terminals where Ford recommends, not clamped to the battery posts. I guessed it went into deep sleep from not having been started, and not low voltage. I hope mine went deep sleep dye to time, not voltage.

Where does Ford recommend wiring in a battery tender? Mine sits in the truck for weeks at a time, so I was going to just install one connected to the battery posts.

I was going to ask the same question. I leave a trickle charger on mine since I only drive it every few weeks, and it similarly goes into deep sleep mode even with the battery charger on. But for some reason, it did update and this morning I had full screen mode.

Positive to battery terminal and negative to frame/body (or to the frame side of the sensor on the negative battery terminal of the battery). Supposedly so the system can register the incoming current.

See above. I believe the truck can also go into deep sleep if it sits for an extended time (think it’s 2 weeks) regardless of battery current.

I have 7/9 of my cars on the NOCO battery tender hooked directly to the battery posts. Works awesome for tending and charging if need be. NOCO jump pack is insane.

Lol, me neither until I did a search and found it in the “How to” section of this forum.

As for the multi quotes, it’s simple. Just tap the “+Quote” of the persons’ post you want to quote. At the bottom, tap ”insert quotes”. From there, you can either re-arrange the quotes or remove a quote…then write your comments & off you go. Voilá!
