Please link to who you think took a screenshot on here. I'm curious on the key combo as well as how you get the file out of the sync system once it's been taken.

Current thought: this is not possible.

Change my mind!

I think what’s happening in this does it to me whenever I’m in the car and Apple plays connected and I try to take a screenshot with the phone. It seems to copy the big screen.

It captures what’s on the big screen and it captures what I’m trying to take a screenshot on the phone, but they’re separate photos under photos then then

So I went out in the car and the only thing I can think of if it’s screenshots of different screen, they’re just taking a picture and cropping it well but this is what happened when I sat in the car and did the screenshot. It appears it will do anything that’s an apple play that’s about it. If you have the map open, it’ll take a screenshot of the map and whatever the other thing you were originally taking a screenshot of.

It’s easy to get a screen shot of the Sync 4A screen. Pick up your phone, open the camera app and take a picture.

Taking a screenshot of CarPlay is easy, but nothing of the sync screen itself.

Why I’m saying, I think someone’s just taking a good picture and cropping it but that’s the only way I see that it captures any kind of active screen, but it’s related to CarPlay stuff

With CarPlay connected, take a screenshot on your phone. When the little preview shows up on the lower left corner, click it so the edit menu comes up. Swipe right to left on phone to reveal the screenshot of the CarPlay screen that was also captured.

I was looking at posts about the on board scanners and thought the results were on the big screen. Evidently the screenshots were from a phone.
maybe Ford would come up with a way to get screenshots.

This cartoon looks like feet on the clutch and brake simultaneously, which is a perfectly fine thing to do in a 3-pedal car. (See gas pedal behind right foot)

Even if you decide to push both gas and brake at the same time, new cars have been built to always have the brake able to hold the car. (I think this was post that Toyota stuck acceleration debacle). Because of that required feature, those cyber trucks with a stuck accelerator are still able to stop by pressing the brake.

Don't try it in an older car, I don't know when the requirement became mandatory on new builds.
