Greetings all!! Just got a '19 Ranger Lariat and configured a couple of things (Bambi, double honk, & Traffic Signs) ... all work perfectly!!

Question - anyone know which module(s) control the cross-traffic warning? (For example, a tone when backing up and someone's approaching from either side in a parking lot). Mine does not seem to be working at all, although I've only had one or two situations where it might sound. I'll wait for a while to take it in for diagnosis, and just want to make sure that when I do, that module is "As Built".

Thanks in advance!!

Anyone know if there is a mod to show Sirius on the apple car play home screen instead of apple music or Spotify?

Not that I'm aware of. I would love for Ford to release an app that just cast the Sync3 music info and controls (input included) into Android Auto/CarPlay so you could control the radio/sat radio/CD without leaving my preferred UI, AA in my case.

Climate controls in AA/CP would also be nice for cars/trucks with limited physical controls for those (like the Ranger).

Oh man, it really is so annoying to have to go back to AA home than click the Ford logo to make changes to the radio when I'm navigating...

I imagine it is a AA function, not sync though...

Since we're bitching about AA, lol, the volume, temperature and fan popping up and taking over the entire screen.

Luckily you can just push the home button on the steering wheel to get out of carplay/AA, and then just tap the AA "tab" in the bottom to go back. It's how I've managed it when I need it. It's painful, but it could be worse.

Holy hell.

How did I not know that worked.

I never use those buttons because I'm afraid I'll randomly call someone. ?

You're welcome! ? That's the only way I get out of AA if I need something in sync. I also use the mic/voice button to activate assistant for stuff, that also works great.

It is still a pain because when you go back it's on the AA home and not where you left off...

Interesting, for me when I hit AA, it *usually* goes back to the multi-panel view. There's also a maps tab for me that'll take me back to google maps in AA too.

I did it a few times, takes me to the AA "home" :-/

It is probably AA version specific as to the action it takes when you return... And based on how Google rolled out AA 10 and the tiles I'd say it could be server side... ?

Shrug

It could be worse, I could be using carplay.

dumb question, but where is the 'home' button on the steering wheel? I have a Lariat with Nav if it matters. I don't see a home button. I have the 6 ACC buttons on the left, and the 6 audio buttons on the right side.

On the xlt, the up and down on the top right is the volume, and where your volume + there is a home button. Evidently the lariat doesn't have it.

Darn. I would love a hot key to get out of Android Auto. Appreciate the reply.

Did you RTFM? Doesn't sound like you did.
