Display screen upgrade?

[BCarter]

Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the factory monitor? I have a 2022 XL. My wife has a new Corolla and the resolution of the monitor is a much higher quality. It's easier on the eyes, especially when using navigation.

What’s a monitor?

I'll be watching this one. The low quality of the screen is the one thing about the Maverick that I'm not too crazy about.

The entertainment screen that has shows CarPlay, radio tuning, navigation, etc.

In time someone will have an aftermarket higher res screen and a bigger one that eliminates that little cubby. I've seen it on other brands. They were going to put in Sync 4 with a larger screen but costs were a problem so it has the lower grade setup causing the cubby.

This would get you the same size screen but the screen itself is a bit of an improvement, using Ford OEM parts.

A larger screen may be possible in the future, pricing would be higher on that option.

Thanks for all the responses. I will keep an eye out in the future. A larger monitor would be nicer but it's mainly the resolution and brightness that I am looking for.

I'm watching also. Mavericks screen is horrible.

Ford infotainment graphics on my 23 XLT suck.
Here is the graphics on the home screen on a 2018 Buick Encore which is the cheapest vehicle they sell.

Buick encore 2018 home screen night display notice the date is also there. You can also change between analog and digital clock.

Here is a daytime display with the radio screen. On a Buick Encore that is 5 years older than my Maverick.

And then we have mavericks display which looks like it came out of Microsoft Windows 3.1.
Hey Ford how much more for a better display and date???
Sad display.
I'm guessing Ford really wanted to stay with the cheap theme of the Maverick.

I like having it because the cubbie is way more solid to hold my phone with an insert from etsy and doesn't block the AC vent. I thought is was terrible before adding the cage looking insert. I would be happy if they kept the design and just had a better quality screen. Looking at the difference side by side with a cellphone shows just how bad the quality is especially the colors.

I'm always in Android Auto when I get in. I have a bluetooth connection so I don't have to plug in my phone. I use google maps. And my Youtube music splits the screen if I want it to. Plenty bright even with my sun roof open. I haven't had the issues most have stated.

The 2025 Maverick got rid of it with a 13 inch screen

I have been recently. I'm not entirely sure about it - the communication from the company is a bit weak - but they claim it retains steering wheel and dash controls along with Sync. Unclear to me whether it requires the new backup camera or can utilize the existing one.

I might pull the trigger when I can afford to do so and report back. Definitely a better value than some other solutions, and the AXPIO-MAV1 still shows no signs of releasing.
