Ah, I understand what you're saying. I did see some suggestions on Reddit regarding changing the screen resolution in AA developer settings. But alas, it made no difference. I suppose I'll just wait until the Google minions choose me.

FYI: It is believed that 3.5.3 is for 2021 trucks and 3.5.3.2 is for 2022's. The only difference between the updates is a digital owners manual that one has; I assume the extra manual is for the 2022 trucks since they came with Alexa and perhaps some other things that early 2021 owners got later down the line via OTA.

Not sure yet. A few people on gen14forum reported the same thing. Maybe they messed up when they released the update and they will fix it with the next one.

Just received 3.5.3.2 today. Have automatic updates scheduled for 0200 every day, and the update finished/notified me it was done at 1630. The truck was parked/locked/idle (connected to home wifi) since midday yesterday until around 1500 today. 2 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. seems like a long time, unless it was interrupted for some reason. Went out around 1500 (was bored) to check for an update, and to check the battery voltage. Battery was at 12.08v so fired it up and let it idle for a few minutes to charge it up a bit. Was at 12.58 when I shut it off. Less than an hour later, got the Ford Pass notification of the update, so maybe the battery voltage held it up.

I have been on 3.5.2 since Sept 30th. I did a bunch of apps updates to my Pixel 6 and today Android Auto would not connect. I restarted the truck a couple time and rebooted the phone twice, still no joy. I then cleared Cache in the AA app on the phone and all was well! Just a FYI.

Why wouldn't you want auto stop/start to work? Just curious. (I have a Powerboost so it technically doesn't have auto stop/start, although you could argue that a hybrid vehicle is auto stop/start on steroids.)
You sure about that? My Powerboost came from the factory with Auto Start/Stop enabled and it works flawlessly. Runs on the hybrid battery pack until it needs to be recharged or until I call for extra speed. This is what gives you 24mpg. I can see why you wouldn't want it if your 12V starting battery is giving you problems...you'd worry that it wouldn't start up again. Believe you can disable Auto Start/Stop with ForScan.
