It is full screen.

Android Auto is running full screen, but there are two app windows within the AA full screen for two separate apps.

Don't confuse that with being able to run a single app in AA full screen - that will come when Google makes the change on their end for you (and requires Coolwalk, which I believe was finally released via PlayStore with AA 6.625054-release).

I just call the current two-screen rendition "pseudo full screen".

Correct. IIRC, it told me I had to disable wireless app projection and use the USB cables for the phones.

Besides, it isn't that big of a deal for me to disconnect one phone and connect to the other as needed which is not very often.
I think the primary intent is to allow the driver and a passenger (e.g., spouse or SO) to have both phones connected and then calls could be made/answered through the vehicle. Anyone who has two phones (e.g., work and personal) would certainly benefit, but I digress.

I've attached some photos for reference, anyone else having similar issues?
Yes, I reported that here on the forums a week or so ago. I assume it will get fixed at some point in the future.

If you are using AA wirelessly, the easiest way to get it back is to just go to Settings/Phone List and toggle the AA icon (far right of three icons for your phone) OFF then back ON.

When it reconnects, the hamburger is back (or the current route boxes are back), and it picks back up on your route (no need to cancel/restart route).

Ok, so I though my truck was fixed this summer from the dreaded grayed out auto-update button after I had the dealer install several updates. After that it was no longer grayed out and I received OTAs as recently as October 8th (3.5.2). However I have been awaiting the 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 updates and have not yet received either. No biggie it just isn't my time yet i guess. However, this morning I went back into my update settings and noticed the auto-update toggle switch is grayed out again and I cannot turn it back on. Yesterday it was on. I was able to schedule update time which I did for this afternoon so I guess we'll see if that works. Anyway, could someone lookup my VIN to see if anything is stuck? 1FTFW1E89MFB00484

I sense that Ford has really started to push 3.5.3 out much more aggressively. Hopefully I'll se it soon.

I just got an android auto update to 8.6.625084 on my Pixel 6

I was told I got 3.5.3.2 on the 27th and then 3.5.4 yesterday. However my sync 4 version does not seem to reflect that.

You got 3.5.3 sent to you on 1/26 and it failed to install. It was sent to you again today and it is trying to download the files now.

Power Up updates that you get OTA do not upgrade your Sync version every time.

So full screen does not appear to be working, do I have to wait for sync 4 to update?

Thank you for checking. Do you think that's why the "Auto-Update" toggle was turned off, grayed out and I was unable to turn it back on? If so will it revert back to "on" and allow me to change it after the update is completed?

The update is still in your queue trying to download the files. You won't see full screen unless it successfully goes through.

Very possible, yes. I am still waiting on them to send it to me.
