"Start Driving" button missing

Using wired Android Auto on my 2022 F150 Lightning (large screen, Sync 4A), the “Start Driving” button is missing from the pop-up window showing selected destination.

  1. Select Looking Glass option from main screen.

  2. Select Search option from the displayed menu.

  3. A list of recent destinations is displayed

  4. Select any destination

  5. The pop-up window in the upper left of the main screen is displayed showing the back arrow and the first part of the selected destination name, but the rest of the window is blank. No distance, travel time, or “Start Driving” button. Pressing where the button should appear does not work.

  6. My workaround is to unplug the USB cable to the phone and plug it back in. When the ABRP screen is redisplayed, the pop-up window is correctly populated and the “Start Driving” button works.

Where does this happen?

    Hi @Jim Allen,

    Could you provide a photo of what this looks like on your screen?

      I will try to get a photo, but my phone mount also pluga in my USB-C cable for wired Android Auto, so I will have to set up a separate cable connection before the problem occurs. It may take several attempts.

    Similar issue with wireless Android Auto. The button appears on my phone's screen, but not on the car's screen.

    I encountered this today. When driving/in motion, the Start Driving button is missing. While driving, you can select locations from the recently searched list or search my voice and then select from the results list. Once a selection is made, it transitions to the next screen but the Start Driving is missing. It will only appear once the vehicle has stopped, which is less than ideal and confusing as you are able to do all the steps prior while in motion.
