Default 2013 Info Screen

Can someone with a 2013 F150 having the info screen confirm this. I was looking at the 2013 brochure and in one of the pictures it shows the dash and on the info screen (appearing to be a new app) is a compass with a truck in the middle. If this is true, I am wondering if it can be adde to 11 and 12 models. It appears to be on the same page as the tranny temperature

I stole this image from another site. I'm pretty sure our pre-2013 trucks can't take advantage of any add-ons for the MFT unless Ford specifically programs ours to do so. I personally don't expect any future features on my "dated technology" even though it basically does the same thing with less curve appeal.

It's not the FMT screen- I;m talking about the info screen in the center of the dash, above the steering wheel, where the truck apps.,fuel milage, tachometer, etc. are shown.

I think that is the off road app which will show what the truck is doing on incline / decline and also the left and right lean in degrees from 0

No- it is an actual compass. Here is a pic from the 2013 brochure.2013 Info Screen-2012-11-14_08-29-41_771.jpg

Interesting! I have not seen that screen on my 2013 lariat, and I have been through all the menu's. I wonder if this is another marketing error just like showing the 20 inch aluminum wheels as painted on the build website.

Or is it something that they were thinking about adding and nixed the idea?

Took delivery of my 2013 FX4 hard loaded about 4 weeks ago. I do not have the option in mine.
