Update 11 Center Touch Screen

Sweet - we got the Center Touch Screen APIM update at midnight (could see the SOC drop when it installed),

I ran the multiple volume presses evolution to force a system restart. After that I went through several car start/stop cycles to check the changes, including persistence of things:
-New widgets are there, as reported.

-Navigation prompt volume changes persist, at least within a given drive cycle (I ran a lot of "hey Google, navigate to..." rounds, adjusting volume, to see that the new volume setting was used on the following responses)

-Bonus! car-usb-handler appears to have been added (or fixed). AudioWagon retains access to the USB across restarts. @Sharbotcom

(AudioWagon is a USB media manager app available from the car's Play Store. It lets you use commands like "hey Google play artist Fleetwood Mac album Rumours" if you're already listening to AudioWagon/USB, or "hey Google play Wake of the Fluid on USB" if you're presently listening to SiriusXM.)

I had the update installed at the dealer and it still doesn't hold the permissions for AudioWagon.

I'm back at the dealer on Monday for testing with the engineers. Let me know if anything changes with regards to persistent permissions on your vehicle this weekend. Thanks.

I will. Since the OTA it's been very consistent, working across multiple restarts testing things.

@markfm can you please confirm update id of your last update. I want to confirm it with the dealer that it has the same ID as what was loaded on mine (by the dealer). Thanks.

This is what went in at midnight. Prior to this APIM flash AudioWagon was 100% consistent in needing to have USB access (the checkbox thing) thanks on every restart.

Note: if you did have this update, it's always possible it was a bad flash, sometimes that happens without any obvious issue.

Mine shows the same update release id but still no sticky permissions for AudioWagon. Thanks.

I tested it today and appeared to stick. Was the checkbook there before?

Everytime I start the car the checkbox asking for access appears (or, I have to go into the AudioWagon settings to force it to appear).

You should only have seen it once to set it and never again if it working right.
 
I noticed that if you turn the radio off it stays off when you start the car (it used to turn on at every start), and the keep your hands on the wheel and keep your eyes on the road messages on the dash seem to be more prominent.

I also noticed that my iOS Lincoln Way app was updated to Version 5.28.0 on 9/24/25, then later that day the app showed that an OTA update was ready to install. I don't know if that is a new app feature or just something I never noticed before.
 
I finished a 650 road trip and blue cruise was available most of the time. We experienced far fewer keep hands on wheel and eyes on road announcements. We both keeps hands on wheel even in BC mode. The software is definitely more mature.

The only software glitch was one mirror did not unfold.

One annoyance is when you change drivers (switching profiles) the navigation is lost and has to be redone. If I use AA navigation, it persists since one phone is used with either driver.

I did not use Audio Wagon but it does not prompt.
