Need help with Android Auto

[Gid]

I use my Samsung phone to stream Sirius quite a bit. When I get into my 2025 Lariat, the Lariat takes a minute to connect and display my phone. When it connects, I see a split screen on the Maverick with my GPS and Sirius Satellite - and I like that. However, when trying to swipe up on the Mav to see my Sirius station options, the display swipes up fine, but then retracts back down like a spring-loaded window shade so I can't choose any stations other than the top several. Anyone have a fix for this?

Instead of "swiping" just "tap" on the Sirius screen (on the right). It will go full screen to XM and all stations will be listed. Hope this helps.

Edit to add: when you find the station you want, touch the "home" icon, top left, and it will go back to split screen.
...or you can press the talk button and just say "play Metallica on Sirius" and it will do it without taking your eyes off the road.

Thanks for your detailed message. My 2025 might have different software (or my phone might) because your suggestions aren't working or I'm not doing them right. Today, I'll try to the voice icon and ask for a Sirius station. If that works, I'm a happy camper.

John, that is a glitch with an app and not with your truck. I have the same issue with mine and I've Sync 3. I've read many others, with other brand vehicles also complain about it, too. It's not clear if it's a glitch with the Sirius app, or Android Auto, but it has been reported.

Some said it was fixed with the Android Auto 13.5 update, but mine still does it and I've 13.7.

Hopefully they'll get it figure out. As Curtis mentioned, you can still use voice commands to select your channel by saying it's name or the channel number.

The way it is now, you can't hit the button fast enough before it scrolls back to the top.

Thanks, all! I started using voice, like: "play BB King Station on Sirius XM" and it works much better than I thought it would. Appreciate the help!!

Strange, but yesterday my phone would not connect with my truck. I turned the screen on my phone (Samsung Note 10) to find it was updating. After that process, my phone and truck connected and Sirius (as viewed through my truck via Android Auto) worked correctly. I could scroll through stations, and they would not 'snap" back before I could choose one. Problem seems fixed.

John, I just checked mine and it is working correctly also. I see there was a recent Sirius XM update, so perhaps it's that?

Whatever it is, I'll take it.
