Way to "lock" side screen / tiles?

[jsimon77]

Not sure if this is possible....

On the main screen (audio, nav, settings, etc.) the screen is divided into 2 parts. Left side is large (like when apple car play is on) and the right side are those small scrollable / changeable tiles.

That side screen / tile keep changing. Is there a way to set it so that it will as an example "always show audio tile?"

Thanks for any help!

I was pretty disappointed to see how they implemented carplay on the gen 3’s. I feel it should be full screen.

I agree and I wish it would be full screen but so far I can't figure out how to control that side tile. Example.

1. I'm on CarPlay using Waze.
2. I select "Audio" for the tile so I can see my music information at the same time as Waze
3. Let's say I now press the main "Audio" button so I can choose a new SiriusXM station. The side tile changes to CarPlay. This kind of makes sense as they just swapped placed.
4. Once I pick my station I now hit "CarPlay" again in the main nav. Waze comes back up but not the tile also stays on CarPlay when I would like it to go back to what I had before which was the "Audio" tile. Not sure why it doesn't swap back.

You would think there would be a way to select a tile and have it remain the same tile unless you manually change it.

Any ideas?

Drop the Ford Nav....it is useless junk. Use WAZE and you will be so much more happy.

He said he’s using Waze. The side tile should stay set when you turn the truck off and it doesnt. Damn annoying.

This is perhaps why ram went with the portrait style 12”

My son in law has a 2021 Ram 1500. I love that screen. Ah, but he says mine is much better. And they way they implemented wireless charging, it is vertical and won’t fit a Max iPhone whereas the horizontal charge mat on the Raptor easily does.

The smaller right screen seems random at times, and depends what I have on the main when I start or restart the truck. Don't like it.
Also, the wireless charger is useless... but wireless carplay has been great.
