Switch to radio screen while Android Auto is running? (Lariat/Sync 3)

[Sevesteen]

Is there an easier way to switch the infotainment screen back to radio with Android Auto running? The only way that I've managed is to change the radio station with the steering wheel control, then tap the notification that pops up on the infotainment screen. Hondas have a couple of different ways to switch screens without changing stations or other settings, am I missing something in the Ford?

Try the voice commands.

You can turn the radio station with voice commands. Say " tune to ###"

I guess it might be different with the sync 3 system, but in mine I press the speaker button that takes you to the audio settings and that also brings out the navigation bar and with it the sources button on screen.

My Android Auto home screen has a Ford icon that goes back to the Sync 3 interface.

Yes. On the steering wheel push menu, then audio, then radio.

Thanks, I feel kind of dumb--I took that to be a mute, not a display control. Works on Sync 3 as well.

That is how I do it!

I've been having issues with this lately. I've discovered that sometimes Android auto needs to be playing audio to be able to select audio within the Ford system. Then I can change source to radio. The other thing that works is unplugging your phone, turning on the radio, then plugging your phone back in.

Have you tried pushing the menu button on the steering wheel, selecting audio and then picking the source there?

Admittedly now that I know there's an audio settings button that's the one I'm using most since 95% of the time that's where I was going to the Ford interface for.
