Reddit user finds hidden web browser?

This is... interesting...



Anyone else seen this?

Doesn't look like they are using a CarPlay box, also could be just total BS.

Looks like they can access YouTube as well, looks legit, but he isn't telling how he accesses it. Any guesses?

He keeps spamming videos and pictures but isn't telling anyone how he is doing it. ?

Yeah, not sure if troll or not, but looks real

Fermata Auto side loaded onto Android auto is how I do it

Yeah, doesn't look like this is how this user is doing it, or else you'd have the AA or CarPlay at the top

Dude finally answered, but just that it's on the mai screen?? I told him to make a video step by step on how to get to this or remove the posts for trolling. -.-

Yeah, so weird he’s not saying how he’s able to do this.

There are some menus that give you a web browser, like checking your SiriusXM subscription and also the AT&T Hotspot setup.. so maybe it's an exploit through one of those?

He's also worried that Ford will shut it down, which is laughable they would issue an OTA that quick to fix it.

In the video he's using android's back gesture, which is to swipe from the side inward. I'm fairly confident that Ford isn't implementing gestures into Sync so I'm gonna guess that he's using AAAD or something similar since I've been told that AAAD isn't functional with Sync4.

I saw that excuse in his comment and started laughing! I'm still trying to get him to just make a video on how to get to it.

If it's using the AA input wouldn't it show on the screen at the top?

 

[Logal727]

Ok, he's replying that he isn't using his phone at all to do this and it's an exploit that's in plain sight...

 

[Logal727]

I'm wondering if it has to do with the interactive owners manual?
