Anyone got this to work yet?

It is working for me but I did not do anything to "turn it on".
I started AA, in app menu started Pandora, went back to the app menu and choose Waze. When I did this, Waze appeared in the main screen and Pandora moved to the right screen.


When I choose the truck navigation, it replaced Waze and Pandora from AA remained in right screen.


I could not swap screens like you can with Sync 4. If I swiped Pandora to the left it appeared in the main screen and also remained in the right screen.

 

Animals. Great Album!

 

I am must getting to ordering an F150. One thing I saw on an online review was that Apple Auto (or whatever it is called) works over Bluetooth, but Android Auto doesn't work over Bluetooth. True or false? Did they just not know how to configure it property?

 

Android Auto works just fine for me. One of the reasons I bought the truck. Tested it out, and it is virtually automatic for me. Very pleased....so far.

 

Wireless Android Auto only works about 30% of the time for me. I thought it would be slick but I have noticed that when using wireless AA the battery on my phone dies really quickly. Usually I can make it through an entire day of moderate to heavy use and still have 15-20% of the battery left. I went on a 2 HR drive using wireless AA and it dropped my phone battery by 25%. So, while it is a cool feature, I don't see it being practical without having a wireless charging pad or plugging in your phone which defeats the purpose of wireless AA.

 

I normally charge my Android when in the car, and probably would in the truck. So might do wireless still while charging, or might do connected. Does it have to be plugged into a specific USB on the truck?

 

The USB plugs in the little cubby below the radio connect to the radio. The USB plugs in the center console are just power

 

this works perfectly for me:
