I don’t even think we’re getting YouTube. It seems like it’s a bunch of crap like Alexa music, podcast services and live news.

I hear it includes audio books, too. Wow!

Does the YouTube button appear in the new entertainment tab, or in Android Auto? I got some games in there (Entertainment tab) today but no YouTube yet.

We got that update today and I see the YouTube app in the entertainment section. Is there some way of getting rid of the Alexa icon on the home screen?

Click on it and choose the option to dismiss the icon.

So… what’s everybody’s thoughts on the YouTube thing so far? Bugs? Frustrations? Enhancements?

I like everything about it except how slow it is.....and the recently announced price increase for Youtube Premium family plans.

Pretty barebones browser implementation but it works okay as long as you have a good enough internet connection/WiFi. Button presses are very laggy, and the app is slow to load. Sometimes I wish the picture could be moved to the very top of the screen.

Sort of reminds me of Apple adding a YouTube app on the first iPhone in 2007, but I think that was better/less laggy.

Ugh. Come on ford - where’s the stupid remote frunk release already? I can watch YouTube on my phone! I can’t open my frunk from my phone!

There is a Frunk button right next to the trunk button. It works
