Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

All I want is a way to force wired or wireless android auto. I lived rurally so around the property I have WiFi and repeaters. So I like having the WiFi on as I don't get cell service up here, maybe 1 bar occasionally in some spots.

This is the first vehicle I've had with wireless AA and I'm pretty surprised I can't chose to enable or disable it, or a connection preference. If I remove my phone from it's docked connection it's a fiasco because for some reason it just constantly wants to reconnect to AA even if I force it to not reconnect. Same with my viofi dashcam. It just disconnects and goes back to AA.

But I've also noticed the AA is a cluster of displays even on the 8.4". With about an inch on both top and bottom being static stuff like my seat heater indicators that I specifically bought the 8.4" to have the physical HVAC controls of and avoid screen interactions with. So useless space...

Just kinda is what it is I guess.
That's a setting in your phone. You have it set not to automatically connect to AA. Turn off that toggle. On my phone, whether it's plugged in or not, AA won't launch unless I choose to
 
Interesting update My wife's BMW had an updated interface and the Android Auto added the incident reporting feature on the screen where you could tag police accidents etc. Same phone using her car and using my truck and the feature shows up there and not on my truck. So there are things that RAM could do to add this functionality to these trucks they choose not to.

That feature is dependant on AA and has nothing to do with Uconnect. I know because that has always worked on mine.
 
I guess you missed the point where I said same phone both cars shows up on the BMW does not show up on the ram? To explain how you turn it on on the RAM there's no setting there's nothing on my phone move from one car to the other wirelessly shows up on the BMW doesn't show up on the truck... Mines a 23
