Surprised - YouTube app available when parked!

[ramori]

Is this a new feature, or have I been in the dark on this? Saw the YouTube app available on my home screen yesterday. I'm connected through my Android/Samsung phone.
I've only had my 2025 Lariat since December. My previous 2022 F150 did not have this feature, as far as I know.
Are there other video-streaming apps available?

I wonder if this works for iPhone as well

I use one of those wireless connections for CarPlay and the adapter has a Netflix app. Makes me wonder if you're using a third party wireless connection and if so, maybe it has the YouTube feature.

I found this right away! I use this when my wife runs errands at the store. She shops while I watch YouTube!

Do you by chance have an Apple phone or are you good with tech so Apple products are stupid to you?..

I’m not super tech savvy (I have Apple so does my mom.) how does one do this?
I was poking around on the screen and menu for like 30mins trying to figure it out.

So, I have a 2025 Maverick - I think only the 2025’s and newer were loaded with an YouTube app on the display.

what year do you have?

I have an Android, and the regular "Ford-enabled" apps will appear, like TouTube, when my phone is connected thru USB. This is different than connecting through Android Auto, which is a totally separate software feature.

My partner has an iPhone; I'll try connecting with it in the same way, and will report back! (not connecting through Apple Carplay, but simply connecting the iPhone to the car thru USB).
