Hey! Quick question, I followed that link (thanks for sharing). And was ready to buy but the description says it’s not compatible with 2022 Fords. There also seems to be like 6 different boxes that appear to be the same visually but are different prices. Can you clarify which one you have? Seeing box AI, bad max, box max 23. Ect. Sorry. Thanks in advance
I’m specifically using the Carlinkit AI Max 12 (top left corner in the image below ) .. it works perfectly with the 15” screen and has no issues. Another forum member bought the 13 version which has Android 13 .. he is having no issues except Hulu wont work on his which I believe to be an issue with android 13 .. so I would for with the 12 version .

No judgment here (brace for judgy comment): sounds like a bad idea to watch tv while driving.
Completely agree and my kids have a table for that. I’m more interested in mirroring my phone for on screen data from my phone linked to the OBD II port on the truck

I’ve owned three AI or MMB devices now for the purpose of having streaming services separate from the Sync interface and the one to get is the CarLinkit 12 plus ( also called max sometimes) .
It’s spectacular. For the OP , you can have Waze open and then have the app of your choice do play video Picture in Picture.

This is also the only device I’ve found yet that fills the entire screen on the lightning

Question....does this still work while driving or does it shut off once you go in motion?

Still works while driving . It's essentially a hack of Apple CarPlay . So if CarPlay would display , this will display.

I’ve seen people mention a workaround for streaming services like Netflix on the screen while the truck’s in park, but I’d still be cautious about using it while driving. The legal and safety risks are too high, and there could be serious distractions. I was actually researching tech setups for drivers, and interestingly found that some use their break time to catch up on studies or work online. If you’re studying something like nursing, for example, a site like nursing writing services offers writing support. Staying productive during downtime is smart, but I’d keep the entertainment features locked when on the road.
Thanks!
