While I really like the new update, I miss the option of bigger secondary tile screen. I'm referring to the bottom of the screen where you'd typically see recently used apps.
The new setting has made them smaller which limits information. Previously when in Android auto, I could see the trip meter which displayed Miles/kwh, time and distance traveled on the trip. Now It only shows Miles/Kwh.

previously, you could increase/decrease the size of the screen but I can't seem to find this option after the update.
Am I missing something?

One step forward two step backwards with these guys - the sync 4 team.

Totally don't see the reason why you would take away that option to make the tiles larger/smaller SMH. IT provided information you don't have to push a button to get, In turn gets your eyes quickly get back on the road.

Yep. Some worthwhile changes and some worthless changes. Eliminating screen sizing and bigger secondary tiles is really annoying. We like having the tire pressure displayed and now it’s too small to show all 4 tires psi.

It's actually not too small to display the tire pressure. They've just chosen to display the words "Tire Pressure" and "PSI" instead of the actual useful information.

The annoying thing is it’s like that in the original UI and they have never fixed it. Now it’s just a lot more noticeable.

I would gladly give back some of the CarPlay real estate for the option to see the station/band (in addition to song name) in the radio tile. Such an annoying change. Very poorly thought out. Why take away the option?

Urgh worst part of the update. That and the 3 new top right buttons that look straight from an iPhone 3GS
