I’ve had the truck for two years and never had this issue until now. Previously when I got into the truck, the Apple Music app would load onto the screen, but now lately, it is loading the screen which shows all apps. The music still starts automatically playing, but now I have to click into the app. Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve restarted my phone and rebooted the infotainment Screen, neither did anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you received updates recently?
Could be a change that has been made through an update?

Probably, but it seems there should be a way to revert back to automatically opening the last app that was open.

They relocated some apps with a recent OTA update, that's probably what you are observing.

I got that update: Software Update 6.14.0 12/14/2024

We’ve listened to your feedback and we’re making changes to your SYNC system so that it’s simpler and easier to use on the go. Please continue to send your feedback and we will continue to work on improvements. Changes we’ve made in this update:

• Replaced the Display Brightness Slider with +/- buttons to make it easier to use on your drive.

• Combined the USB and Bluetooth Media sources into a single app for easy access.

• Added new Onboard Scales, and Smart Hitch apps for eligible vehicles.

• Moved the Sketch app into the “Entertainment” page so it’s easier to find.

• Updated the icons on the top bar to make them easier to see.

• Added a phone battery icon on phone app screens.
Public Charging (If Applicable)

• The Public Charging application, previously known as Charge Assist, can be located in your application drawer, where other apps live.

• You can now start and pay for charging on the BlueOval™ Charge Network without requiring a smartphone. Filter by charge speed and network while staying informed about real-time information about new chargers, such as availability and those under repair.

• A new map view has been added, allowing you to visibly search for nearby chargers and quickly see what's available.

AM Broadcast Radio• AM broadcast radio is now available for listening through your audio system and can be controlled just like FM or SiriusXM channels. This gives you even more flexibility in how you can access your favorite sports, talk and news content - including receiving Emergency Alert System notifications.
