Anyway to display outside temp in the gauge cluster?

Does your home screen still show the actual map when using Car Play? Mine just shows a blank area that says "maps" with an icon that takes me back to Car Play... it doesn't show the actual navigation map.

yeah, just shows the blank map. it's not a big deal to me, i just use waze anyways.

the only thing i don't like is that when i'm streaming pandora and it's on that screen, it only shows the titles sometimes. haven't figured out how to fix that issue yet.

Again, what I’m trying to accomplish is be able to use Car Play AND display my temp. I know I can toggle back and forth between sync and car play. I also know I can disable car play all together. Neither of these allow me to use car play and view temp simultanously.

Based on the replies I’m assuming there’s no setting to make this happen. So the next question is if there’s a forscan tweak to allow for this?

I think it kinda sucks that carplay pretty much kills the SiriusXM apps that come 'free' with the truck- those little apps are pretty neat... weather, movies, sports, etc... all of which aren't available on friggin carplay!?

Yeah, the implementation seems quite limited. I don't know if these limitations are on Fords end or Apple but it certainly needs to improve.

most likely it's a combo of both - Apple has to dumb down the app availability because the Blackberry QNX stuff is just 'OK' for computing on the dash...

now if we had a beefier computer running the touchscreen, it would be on par with tablets, etc..

It really is kind of strange they don't include the outside temp as an option to display on the dash.

I use the information a lot in the winter to help gauge whether it might be icy on the roads, especially going to/from the mountain passes since the temp varies quite a bit with the elevation changes. It would be much easier to just glance down to take note of it.

Reveiving this thread. Any solution to dash display of temp?

Wonder if there are any Carplay apps you can download that would show the temp with the app/widget.

Download the app called weatherology. It will show up on carplay and give you weather info on your location.

Ford recently added this option in the form of a Gen 3 Raptor...

Not sure how it is why the new Sync 4, but agree
