Coolwalk has nothing to do with the Kia head unit, it's rolled out to the users in different areas and will adapt to the car screens when running. It's just a new version of Android Auto.

i have a 2023 Wind in the U.S. and saw this as an option last week, i tried it but i prefer the condensed screen as it gives me access to other widgets...my biggest pet peeve about android auto is the drop down search window that you can't disable. I always have to reach over to collapse it as it takes up 2/3 of the screen. I'm really surprised google hasn't given users an option to disable it. i don't want people to see the last places i've been to every time i plug in my phone.

Noticed full view Android Auto (AA) Maps (Waze, Google) since 4 days in my present BEV (2017 Opel Ampera-e/Chevrolet Bolt). As there are no Infotainment-Updates available, it has to be a better Adoption of AA to the respective car's Display. Before there was a black bar at the bottom, now the menu-bar switched to the left border, and the "squared" view fits better.

On android auto, tap on the Google map icon. The new update would turn your Google map from a split screen to a full screen. In some KIA models, there's an icon on the bottom right of the screen, where you can choose between a split screen, widget, 3 displays split screen, or a full screen.

Hi Brian on a different subject what’s the service schedule on your car as some people on a Facebook group keep getting reminders after just seven months of ownership? I was under the impression it’s 2 years or 20000 miles
@evodessey Жыл бұрын
Hi Gavin,it’s 2 years or 20,000 Miles. My dealer would have pestered me in November if it wasn’t the case. I’ve seen their service department several times since. I’ve had 2 lots of warranty work done since November as well. When i bought the car i asked is it 2 years and they said it was. I also managed to trade in my 2 years remaining e-Niro service plan for 1 free first service so i won’t pay for a service until November 24( end of 3rd year of owernership)

@evodessey Жыл бұрын
All i know is that before the Kia June 2022 Head Unit & Maps update AA would only display 2/3 of the screen with the 1/3 Android Auto blank panel. After that update you could turn full screen AA on with the split screen switch so in Kia’s case it was a head unit update that fixed it. I would be purely be guessing it may be same for the Mercedes.

@evodessey Жыл бұрын
Google has to enable your individual Google account. We are completely at the mercy of google as to when they enable this. Widescreen AA came in with the June Kia head unit updates. The version i’m running is version 221223 (this came out early January) from update.kia.com. As long as you are running the latest version of AA from the App store and they’ve enabled it you can tell you have Cool Walk version by looking for the 9 dots in the bottom corner. Android versions i’m running are Packages: WhatsApp: 2.23.2.76 Maps: 11.65.0703 Google Play Store: 34.3.18-21 [0] [PR] 507552939 Google Play services: 23.04.13 (150408-505809224) Messages: messages.android_20230117_01_RC01.phone_dynamic VLC: 3.5.3 Google: 14.4.19.26.arm64 Podcast Addict: 2023.1.1 AIMP: v3.30.1246 (01.02.2023) Zap-Map: 7.2.4 Android Auto: 8.7.630264-release
