    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    Just select 2 pane, and then when you start the truck tap the pane you want.

    Man, I was hoping that you knew of a way to get only one pane. Our Acura shows navi full screen and I would like my Limited to do the same...

    Isn't this only momentary? I think that if I tap Navi from the three pane view, it will switch to full screen Navi, but auto switch back to three pane after a certain amount if time...I think....

    I agree I never use the navigation for this reason and also Google Maps is better. Hoping for a fix for this in the future

    I agree I bought a case for my iPhone and I find it takes a long time for the QI charger to charge. Plus I like having my phone on a nearby stand because I'm not really adapted to that entune radio system yet. Coming from a 1995 Toyota T 100 I just assume that all new cars would have Apple CarPlay or something that would be more friendly with the iPhone

    Apple CarPlay is terrible. Have had it in our last two cars and prefer Toyota's interface more

    My iPhone works quite well with entune. I just hold down the answer button on on the steering wheel and use Siri for calls, music(play rock playlist) text, and the in car voice for directions as well as music (ex play fm104.5)

    I also use a quick push of answer then hang up to go to the home screen from any of the full screen entune apps (eco, weather, phone, etc)

    Qi was a waist even when I had an android device which also wasn't bad with entune.

    I don't know why they didn't put a little digital one somewhere permanent. I feel like maybe that was in the 1st gen? Maybe 2nd too

    Except in the 1st gen the clock is behind the steering wheel and not all that convenient.
