Yesterday (when I received the vehicle), the center display showed icons along the bottom like:
Music App
Google Maps
etc.
When the music app was selected, the display listed what was playing along with the album cover.
All as expected.

Today, the icons along the bottom are changed. When Audio is selected, I get a display listing what's playing and a generic background.
What's up with the change in the display?

Correction, it isn't icons along the bottom now, just button images. No icons, no artwork.

What is the source of the audio to your truck? I use YouTube Music via Bluetooth.

I'm using an app (Musicolet) to play music present on my phone. Music play works fine. I think what it looks like is that at first the display was run by Android Auto, and now it's being run by SYNC. Just guessing.

I figured it out. In the center display,, under Apps, select Android Auto. It takes a little while to switch over. When it does, you have AA map and music, with album art. The screen button that was Phone changes to Android Auto. The Navigation button still calls up SYNC navigation.
