Here is SXM and TPMS

Thanks. Confirms there's nothing on radio/SXM, and TPMS too (the easiest thing to just stick 4 2-digit numbers onto). Damn. I know sometimes SXM just shows something generic if between songs (like the name of the sponsor during a commercial), but by showing the name of the channel ("Mosiac"), it sure looks like it just stays that way with no content info. That's highly disappointing.

WTF @Ford Motor Company ??? 😡

I was in my garage when I snapped the pics and SXM was having reception issues. I think it says the song name at times. I don’t think the behavior is any different than what the previous version displayed on small tiles.

Disappointed to lose Artist and Song while Carplay is on. Every car I owned had it in the main instrument cluster as an option for display. All this screen size and I can't see the song title without clicking a smaller tile? Such poor design.

I don't see any reason for the large tiles as long as the small tiles have all the same data on them. Which it appears they have room for (looks like 3 lines of text could fit on there). All they have to do it just put the data on them. Still waiting to see what's actually on the new radio/SXM tile and the TPMS tile. The scaled-down Trip Meter tile is the only one I've seen posted (below).

A little shorthand would be fine on the tiles. Just give us the data. The driver display is full of shorthand (short little indicators and numbers without identifying headers), so the small tiles could do the same. For instance, I'd be fine if the small Trip Meter tile below looked something like this instead:

TT: 73.8 mi, 1:09 (or T1 or T2)
3.1 mi/kWh

That’s fine. I find the additional information provided on the larger tiles useful and it never hurts to give people choices.

Artist and title appear on the large tile when CarPlay is active, as I recall.

I took mine in to the dealer for the 20k service and found out they are giving me a second key fob (I have a 2021), doing the HVAC update and have a 15 module update to perform.

Can you also confirm what the Carplay dashboard looks like? That's the screen that shows the map and media at the same time. With the large tiles the Carplay dashboard had the map in a vertical format while when the tiles were small the map was a horizontal format. I prefer the vertical map format so I'm expecting to be annoyed....
Thank You.

It is horizontal.

And reception was better in my garage a few moments later and the song title was displayed.

Large tiles are gone on the new interface, I believe
Well, if true, that’s unfortunate. But not uncharacteristic for Ford. They LOVE decontenting their vehicles in subsequent MYs 🙄
