That was the best thing they did was make it full screen. Are you updating it at work? Or using FORSCAN? I haven’t looked into it but I’d imagine FORSCAN would be able to unlock YouTube via CarPlay.
I did it with FDRS. I really don’t want to use Forscan on this truck. Big brother is watching too closely.
I am not sure if Forscan will do it anyway. Forscan is good for unlocking and configuring access to software/hardware already installed. They will probably have to install quite a bit of software before it will be operational.

Yea…it took some convincing. Mine got tired of me complaining about selling the Pro. Although I did promise to sell the Rivian if I bought the Lariat. So the clock is ticking.
Start leasing out the Rivian and tell her it’s a side hustle.

We did that when I had thePro, but interest rates were lower then. At 7% for the Lariat, the Rivian will need to go ASAP to pay that loan off.
Yep… That rate frigging sucks. My Pro I did the Options plan at 3.99%. I didn’t want the risk if the resale value plummeted. Most of what we are seeing with falling values and inventory becoming available is because of the rates. I am so glad I did not do a standard finance on mine. I guess Ford is no longer promoting the Options financing because tier 0 rates for it are at 9.54 or something ridiculous like that.

For what it’s worth I got 3.5.2 a few weeks after delivery so mid-September. Then nothing until end of January when the updates started rolling - five between Jan. 21 and Feb. 9. It caught up to 4.1.1.

You’re almost there! If I recall 4.1.1 was the one that added the button at the top for the camera which was the best feature for my suburban money.

She’s officially mine!

It was built 3/22 though, but you guys are going to have to kick me out of the thread.
congrats - here’s hoping you get the FCSP soon!


Nope…. We aren’t kicking you out of this thread. You are our comic relief.😁
No no no, at least make him buy us all slurpies first or post a photo in front of a 7/11 saying 7/11 is the best build week… :p

Congrats! And this was an unsold mannequin almost a year later!? Either it was stuck on Ramp 51 forever or the dealer forgot about it on their lot. It's probably VIN .....00711 ;)

7/11 picture will have to wait a week until I get back!

But first mod:

Also…the vertical screen is a pain in the butt compared to the horizontal screen.

Impossible. I checked the tires, there’s no nails so it was never on Ramp 51.

It was at a dealer in the woods, no DCFC around. So I’m guessing nobody was interested in it lol. As for the VIN…pretty darn close. I was very excited at how low the VIN was.

I'm Sync 4 with the 12" screen....we always had the camera button :p
There is definitely something to be said about the tactile feedback of a physical button for sure.

7/11 picture will have to wait a week until I get back!

Guaranteed to get .00002 mi/kWh more after that mod 😁

It took a little bit to get used to the vertical but I do like it.

The only thing I like about the portrait screen is the streaming apps. Everything else is horrible.
