  16. 4.1.2 stuck in full screen mode

    I’m reading through threads and worried that my screen may be stuck in full screen mode. This may be what people refer to as portrait mode. Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to shrink this up. I’m not a fan of this mode as the CarPlay icons are now at the bottom and not close to eye level...
