Running the Developer Preview right now and haven’t experienced any issues so far. Still wrapping my head around the UI changes.

I absolutely wouldn't mind changing that whole system. Forget that the infotainment system in this vehicle is perhaps the cheapest and ugliest I've ever had the misfortune of having to look at each day, it's about as unintuitive as it can possibly be in 2025. I think Ford May well have paid extra to botch both the interface and the quality this badly. I won't even get started on the patchy navigation system.
I had the Jeep UConnect in my last vehicle and I complained endlessly about it. From expert experience I can tell you this , It was outright elegant compared to this POS.
I'm going to look into changing both the speakers, which are horrible, and the screen/head unit. Oh, and by the way, having the remote volume controls on the left side of the steering wheel render remote volume control useless to me because I've never turned the volume up or down on anything since the early 1960s with anything but my right hand. I'm sure the same could be said for most of you who are not left-handed. For me, it's a left right brain thing. Not a television, not a boombox, not a car radio, not a car CD player and not any home stereo ever. I literally have to reach for the dial to handle volume control no matter where or what speed I'm driving. Volume control is a right hand function throughout most of the world.
Just thought I'd throw that into my public complaining.
