Wait, you guys can't get rid of the Alexa button like us 12" screen owners can?

I removed Alexa from my 15.5 screen
Never mind, Now I see that he's testing an advance release of the new screen layout, hopefully we will still be able to hide Alexa

It was in Connected Services in Settings on the 12" screen.

For me there was nowhere I could find to remove Alexa, but after I signed into Alexa/Amazon in the truck it disappeared. Maybe the icon just exists until you go to the Amazon setup?

Is your GPS the only thing off? My wife spilled coffee on the dash which leaked behind the screen and fried my Audio Control Module, killing ALL audio. Side effect was the interrelationship between that chip and whatever controls GPS, so I've been in the same boat as you - truck thinks I'm 100 miles away, so none of my charge settings work since it doesn't know where it is. Thankfully finally getting the ACM replaced tomorrow.Meanwhile my navigation / GPS doesn't keep the location which renders any gps dependent function useless. Can't set charge locations because it always thinks I'm somewhere else, can't use the onboard gos for charging locations.
Android Auto works during the first power cycle after setup... I.e. factory reset everything, set up AA, phone integration, PAAK, all of it and it's great... Get out of the car, come back an hour later and it refuses to connect to as wirelessly...
But fear not, the dealership can "look at it" in mid January.

How do you switch what the dial controls?After waiting the weekend since I did the last APIM update it was pleasanty surprised to see another update for the APIM this evening. The update was a big one, coming in over at over 6GB in total. I have included some photos of the new layout. My opinion on the new layout: I like it! The fonts and logos seem more refined. When you press the camera button it looks like the images are more clear too.
I still would prefer NO Alexa icon. You hear that Ford?

That's one solutionWhat I want to know is:
Does she always have to ride in the back now?
This occurred while she was driving it, putting her CUP (not even travel mug/carafe) on that little dash pad behind the screen. If she'd tried that with me driving she wouldn't have even finished the motion before I called her out. She does feel terrible though 
For everyone's future reference, replacement not covered by warranty runs about $1200

By pressing what you want to control and then spinning the dial. It also works for heated seats. Provides a nice animation when you turn the audio up too.

What happened to the propulsion sound option? It looks like it was removed out of one of the screens.
