This system replaces the previous SYNC 3 interface and offers a more seamless and intuitive user experience. The Android Automotive platform allows for deep integration with Google services, including Google Maps, which can display navigation screens on both the 13.2-inch touchscreen and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
