I finally updated to 2.2, everything worked great, no problems except that the Ford Pass app on my phone says there is a brake problem reported on my truck, however, all my truck screens are fine. I was able to eliminate the message however, the brake warning is still there, there does not seem to be any way to clear it. I really don't think there is anything wrong with my truck. Any ideas?

You have to release the parking brake when you run the report. Run another report without the brake set and the alert will should be gone.

I really don't care but my truck and fordpass aren't communicating since doing the upgrade.

BJmayberry2, thanks for the post. I've been trying to find the link. What size USB drive is needed?

Is there a way to see maps when you're in the home screen?

Nope. One of the biggest negatives of Carplay.
While it is easy to enter destinations due to being integrated with the iPhone platform...
the maps and navigation in general are inferior. Apple needs to do a lot of work in this area.

Yeah, this has been almost enough to get me to go swap my iphone to some andriod device. My wife has a galaxy, and google auto is far better. The actual apple navigation sucks, the only part that is nice is a much more and able to search and find businesses by name quickly and easily. Once it's time for actual navigation though, it's very poor.

On my iphone6 it's also a little bit slow/sluggish to respond. It's sad that the 'home screen' of apple carplay is just a screen with icons. The main screen of andriod auto is much nicer, has useful information, and can actually be useful.
