With the latest OTA or Android Auto update, I now have some different tiles showing on the screen. Can't get this weather tile to show anything, and can't find a way to edit or modify in the settings. Can't replace this tile with anything else either?

Anyone know where the settings are to change the tiles?

Mine does the same thing sometimes - sometimes it'll just update during my drive. No rhyme or reason that I'm aware of.

If the weather on your phone hasn't updated recently it might be blank for a bit.

I find after driving for 5-10 minutes it updates with the weather.

You could tap one of the app shortcuts like Maps for instance, to make that app take all the available space.

Or if you have the older SYNC in your vehicle like I do, then shrinking the space provided for Android Auto will give a totally different 2 or 3-part layout that you might prefer.

The weather tile is mostly a placeholder for more important things like an active phone call or a new text message.

Ahhhhhh that explains things. A few days ago I initiated a phone call in Android Auto but then had no way to control it. Pressing the phone icon just brought up my contact list, and unfortunately the MME phone screen had nothing since I was calling through Android Auto. I normally use maps full screen so I guess I need to make it smaller to see the call screen.

Mine will not update, and I can't remove the tile or change the setting to allow a different tile/info to appear there.

What happens on your phone when you click on the built in weather to see the current forecast/conditions?

That doesn't seem to work in latest UI updates. I haven't found a way to get maps to take up the full screen in my 2023.

Google map can take the whole screen, but waze can't.

There is a setting in android auto that allows to disable the weather card, but then it shows the empty card until a call or text takes its place for some short time.

Genuinely curious how to do that with Google maps. Tapping on the little google map icon on the bottom of the screen does nothing. Tapping on the map itself just makes me interact with the map.

I have 2 views available in Android Auto. One is "75% map with 2 large tiles underneath", and the other is "50% map with 50% app selected from app drawer"

@spicy_taco in AA on the car screen do you have the little black and white boxed icon? It toggles how big the various apps on the screen are.
Not that I can tell. Below are the two views that I have. I saw in earlier beta versions of the new UI there was an icon in the upper right corner that allowed maps to be maximized, but I don't see it in mine.

Try to touch the small Google map icon under the weather card
