OTA Update 2.7.0

[Celeras]

It seems like the update did go through as I can use Android Auto. But the error still remains after the soft reset. I'll probably just wait and watch.

Am I crazy or does the AA rectangle appear to be crooked in your picture? The gap on the bottom right against the flat part of the screen looks smaller than the left.

Hope it's just the angle of the picture playing tricks because that is some nightmare fuel.

Hahahaha that would kill me

Got it!!! Works beautiful!!!!!! you Lucid

I just heard from Lucid that the watermark fix doesn't work for pixel phones. Can someone else please confirm?

After following the instructions to remove it, I only get it on my pixel 5 but not my Samsung.

Nice that it shows the turn directions in the other screen. Can't see remaining range on arrival, and does anyone else notice the surround cameras take a while to kick in when parking?

If only they could get it to fill the space so it doesn't look like a cheap integration.

I haven't seen the problem on my pixel 9.

Might be the phone then. TY for the response

For those who haven’t seen the updated release notes (@Bobby):

Addressing Watermark Display
Some users may experience a "Pre Production Hardware Not for resale" watermark on the Android Auto displayed on the Cockpit display.

If you encounter a watermark, follow these steps to remove the watermark:

• Delete pairing information on Mobile Phone and Head Unit
• Ensure your Android Auto app and Android system apps are up to date
• Select "Force stop" and clear "Cache" for the Android Auto app [Go to Settings->Apps->Select Android Auto]
• Re-pair the Mobile Device to the Head Unit and Launch Android Auto

Can't see remaining range on arrival

Herein lies the problem. Both AA and Apple CarPlay in the context of EV's lies in the expectation that automakers like Lucid will simply grant access to their systems to Apple and Google, allowing them to provide that information. However, very few automakers, such as Ford and Porsche, have complied with this request. While security is no doubt somewhat of a concern, the most probable reason is that data is highly valuable, and most companies would prefer to retain it for their own use rather than sharing it with others.

These systems, particularly navigation systems, are therefore problematic for EVs. They cannot create proper routing plans that include charging stops. Even if they can make guesses, they are useless if they cannot access the car’s efficiency data in real time. It's also why I believe we will never see mass adoption of CarPlay Ultra like Apple intended it to be used.

I've used A Better Route Planner (ABRP) that intergrates with Enode by using my Lucid Motors account. It gives real time SOC, consumption, etc. for route planning. Sometimes there's lag depending on car data connection, but it's accurate 95% of the time. You can use Google maps to navigate with waypoint charging stops, but the real time data is only available in the ABRP maps. What I like is that ABRP charging stops are way more accurate and abundant than the Lucid navigation system.

Android auto not sexy at all.

Yeah looks the same on CarPlay, doesn’t use the full screen. Looks better if you make the background black, at least then it’ll look more purposeful.

If Lucid would just let us have access to the lower screen for our apps while in AA, I could ignore this. You're right, not sexy at all.

That sort of thing is on their disclosed software roadmap, although there is no timeline for release.

I just got the notification for update to 2.7.0. Going to do a factory restore before going to this (hoping it fixes my awfully long app-to-car wakeup time and some other bugs I've experienced)!

 

[SM_NCarolina]

Just updated mine AGT '22 and this looks awfully ugly at first look. Lucid seriously need to work with the providers to figure out this space usage on screens. Need to test out the usefulness that may be better. Keeping fingers crossed.

Let me know if that works for you. I’ve noticed my wake time is much slower on WiFi than cellular. I’m thinking it’s because the garage is pretty far away from the router.

You can force your phone to make the app use cellular connection only instead of WiFi. This was my original go-to solution. I hope it works for you.

I installed it this morning and gave a quick test. Looks very much like CarPlay but AA does come with some games which I thought was cool. I don’t know if CarPlay has it maybe it does and I never bothered to turn it on?

I like AA’s version of Google maps vs CarPlay Google/Apple Maps. CarPlay Maps has the keyboard open with a very limited space to scroll through the list of results vs on AA you can hide the keyboard to see the full list of results. A massive improvement IMO.

I also like how Lucid shows both AA and CarPlay side by side. i thought one would replace the other.

It is indeed crooked IRL
