Display audio track on gauge cluster screen?

[jastevenson]

I often have Carplay running Apple Maps on the main Sync screen, so I can’t see what song is playing without switching over to the audio tab of Sync, and then switching back again.

Is there a way to have the screen in the instrument cluster display audio information? There are various options that can be selected, but I can’t find one for audio information like track name and artist.

Thanks!

U unfortunately, no you cant. I personally hope they change this soon.

The 3rd gen can do this. Are you certain there isn’t an ‘entertainment’ or audio information screen?

Nope not in the new instrument cluster. The f series trucks and expy use a different screen than the other ford models. One of the better things they omitted from the third gens.

Can’t believe they overlooked this. Now it’s basically a full color high resolution 8” odometer.

Copy that.

You can on the Explorers of the same model years, but not the Expedition.

The new interface in the new explorers retain this as well

My wife's 2018 Edge does this and my 2011 Explorer did it. Kind of silly they couldn't make this work.

Personally, I would prefer navigation turn by turn on the center dash cluster. That is just me, though.
