UX 3.0 Update

[Alex]

There used to be icons on the left side for home, media, etc. They have now extended CarPlay to take up the full possible width, so those icons are gone.

Right! And they need to put those on the diagonal right part of the screen, like they had originally many years ago. That goes for all the other apps too, so they can have more space on the left.

WOW! I just installed the update and applause all around for the new software team! Nothing is perfect, but this is a huge leap forward. Audio quality - much more bass. Being able to have Nav on he bottom screen and music on the top, wonderful, as it should always have been. The iPhone lock and unlock is working perfectly - I hope that continues. The car "remembers" me and what I was doing, resumes with the same song. It seems like they fixed a lot of the issues that drove me crazy. I have not figured out how to keep it from locking in my garage yet but I'm hoping that's in there somewhere.

My one question - how do you get out of Carplay and go back to the native Lucid interface up top? With the old software, if you pressed the Lucid Nav button, it would take you out of carplay. I am guessing there's a button I'm overlooking?

Pressing the Apple Carplay icon on the top row.

Pressing the Apple Carplay icon on the top row.

There is also a Lucid app on CarPlay, but unless you have it on your first screen, it’s probably not worth doing. The top row is the quickest.

Looks like you took the picture simulating your face 6" from the steering wheel. Here is what it really looks like to me from my seating position. And I would prefer that all the apps would use the entire screen (I cropped sections not relevant):

I was emulating what I actually see, not taking a photo to try and exaggerate it. That much really is cut off from my seating position. How tall are you? I’m 5’9”

They were hard to reach on the right, even for me; but I agree that was better. There were many complaints though, I assume from people with shorter arms than me.

I was 5’10 ½" in my youth. But 5’10"or less now. So not much different from you. I do have long arms.

My main adjustment in cars is that I like to first adjust the seat back and forth until my foot touches the dead pedal. That makes driving more comfortable for long distances and sets up all the other parameters. I adjust the steering wheel and seat back so that my wrist touches the top parts of the wheel. On the Lucid Air, I also adjust the steering wheel down enough so that the face sensor can see my face, at the expense of cutting off the top of the center display. I might also play with the seat height a bit, but that of course changes all the other parameters and we have to go through the whole rigmarole. With those settings, I get the image that I showed above.

Of course, there’s thigh support, seat width and headrest position, but those don’t affect the blockage of the right pilot panel.

Well, I can’t just reach them without slightly overextending my arm and rocking forward a little. But that for me is acceptable because I don’t touch those items that often versus the display, which is always in my face.

Anyone else having issues with Android auto not using the full screen? I'm on a Galaxy s26 ultra.

His photo was of CarPlay. It's very far to the left. I think you are showing the build in Lucid Nav?

I believe that is dependent on a new AA update that is coming soon, but Lucid will support it

Finally got the 2.11 update. The UI is excellent.

However, does anyone have issue with "Easy Entry and Exit"? Before 2.11, the seat would go all the way back. After the update, the seat would only move so little and it's hard for me to get back into the car.

Yeah I have the same problem.

This was a change in 2.11 update. Ideally it would be nice if you could adjust how far back it goes. Prior to this update I turned this feature off.

Easier Entry and Exit​

Easy Entry & Exit is now more personal and tailored to each driver. Now when getting in and out with this setting enabled, the driver’s seat will automatically move relative to the saved seat position, providing just the right amount of space to get situated more easily.

 

[socktucker]

Same. It kinda doesn’t do anything actually. Maybe a little bit.

 

[doubletwist]

Personally I like the amount of moves back now, but recognize folks have different preferences.

It makes for a difficult choice for Lucid. I suppose they could make it adjustable but that might not be as simple to accomplish as it is to say .

Minor items on this list is to get a dark theme back. This bright gray is somewhat annoying at night.

I called customer service and she said that she had never heard of this problem.
She then had me text her a picture of the screen, but that didn’t really show off the problem properly.
She then offered to have the local service center call me to discuss the situation.
I told her I would rather just go to the service center next time I am in that area and discuss it then.

My car is a 2023 Pure and I did get the $950 upgrade.
I did do the hard reboot and I did let it sit for a couple days without a key nearby.
Does everybody have this washed out gray look?
Should I wait for a possible software upgrade to fix it or do you think I should go to service?

Android Auto doesn't fill the full screen yet. We're waiting on a release from Google.

its a very agressive gradient but I'm not sure its an error. It also kind of extends over part of the map in a weird way on the top screen too. Maybe its related to the Vibes, which also don't work right. Update can fix both I reckon.

Was starting to get UX 3.0 FOMO and pulled the trigger on the CCCv2 for my 2023 Air Touring. Seeing as I plan on keeping the vehicle for several more years, I "justified" the expense! I submitted a request online and it took about a week for service to get back to me. Surprisingly, Costa Mesa can get mobile service to me in less than a week! Pretty amazing as service requests have typically taken a month or more.

It’s worth it just for the multitasking and faster response times on everything, especially the cameras. Like every major OTA update since 2023, it has its quirks that you eventually get used to until the next major feature update.

I have a washed out gray background screen as well on 2.11. 2025 Air Touring.
