Is there any way to swipe the eco stuff, fuel economy and so forth off the screen? It's always on the right side and has what looks to be a slider bar but won't move.

 

You can make the nav and carplay/AA* screens full screen and hide those IOD cards. When nav is up touch the 4 arrow icon in the bottom right of the nav screen. Carplay has the expand icon in the upper left..

* With the latest Sync Software.

 

I still can’t get full screen in Carplay. the last update I had is Ford Power-up 3.5.2. Is there another update I am not getting or maybe something else is wrong?

 

As of right this minute, we’re only given full screen capability with the navigation. I believe there’s a new OTA update slowly getting rolled out that will allow full screen CarPlay, but I think there are some kinks getting worked out. Be patient because it is coming soon.

 

You need another update. 3.5.3 Ford isn't sending those updates out OTA... You must do it yourself with FDRS (or convince the dealer you are having Carplay stability issues and have them update to the latest level)
