Reddit user finds hidden web browser?

[AlpaChino]

Not the original poster, but Fermata Auto is working for me now on 12. I just reinstalled the latest version via AAAD.

Thank you! The updated version works.

This is the same user from Reddit, if there weren’t a video that looked pretty real, I’d be inclined to pass too

Does the video show, in replicatible, step-by-step detail, how this was done? I’d like one of our established members to reproduce this, otherwise, I’m just calling “troll” unless I’m given steps I can follow in my own vehicle.

And were sitting in the parking lot of the Caledon East Community Complex this morning

Not gonna lie, I double-checked FordPass since my car is in for windshield recall (or so I'm told.) Fortunately I do not appear to be in Canada.

I'm messing with it currently with no luck so far. Not much left to click on.

On a not completely unrelated topic, I did discover I can change the background of android auto! ?

Did you try anything in debug mode?

If real it certainly seems to have something to do with Sirius; it's his most recently used app each time.

Good observation

I believe we have the exact same vehicle. 21 FE Grabber Blue. AWD Extended Range.

The screen locks up at 8 kph/ 5 mph so you can use it while driving.

Ah, but what happens when you hit 88 mph?

I noticed this also, but you only see the apps down there when you move to the next thing. So unless when he used it to get to the browser and the car put Sirius into the app drawer, I'm not sure this is the solution. But I'll try messing with Sirius more all the same.

And why hasn’t the person come back with the actual steps? How do we know he just isn’t displaying a custom screen on some kind of rooted android phone (I know absolutely nothing about android so forgive me if I just said something totally stupid).

How do I do that? Where do I get my bounty?

You need to enable ad blocking before I'm interested. ?

He also shares his password (like so many users here). Go get him, Ghostbuster! ??

He told me he doesn’t want Ford finding out and disabling it. Any android device that is being projected would have a header there at the top, that is why this is pretty interesting

Its definitely the built in browser that isn't supposed to be user accessible. Just need to figure out how he's accessing an address bar.
