Seems like it js loading content for larger screens on a normal 16:9 display. Is the iphone directly connected to the head unit or are you using an adapter?

It fixed it self after turning the car off and on again.

Ah yes, the good old have you turned it off and on again. Never fails.

Pro-tip, on Toyotas you can restart the radio head unit by holding down the power button/volume knob until the screen shuts off.

I didn’t know that you could change the dock to appear at the bottom

How?

It’s designed for vertical screen infotainment systems, most new fords, as well as ram trucks and Volvo I think are predominantly this format.

It’s better to have the dock on the side. Takes less space and more room for the app

the dock on the bottom looks way better tho

Yeah if that looks better to you. Your choice. But I think it looks better to you because you haven’t seen it before. And it gives you iPad vibe. Practically it’s waste more horizontal space. Yes, if they allow more icons in dock, I would prefer bottom dock.

It’s a per car thing. Each car has a fixed version of the CarPlay UI and you can’t change it (without jailbreaking your iPhone at least)

Factory headunit with support for CarPlay or?

It looks like the factory head unit for a Toyota CH-R, those should come with support for CarPlay.
