Why is the Car Play screen only half of the display screen?

I don't need the other lines showing radio station etc.

When I use my partners Ford Puma the whole screen is filled with the display and it is twice as big as mine. Much better for Waze etc.

Is there a simple way to change this setting?

In a word ... nope.

Its such a poor implementation (IMHO) taking the minimum default setup. No portrait, second screen, wireless connection ... I guess they always had the Android / Google pathway in sight so for Sensus this was just a simple integration to 'get it on the feature / marketing list'.

This has been one off my bug bears about Volvo. Poor implementation of the CarPlay lazy asF 🤬 it’s the least used function in my car purely because of the tiny screen. If it had filled the whole screen 😁 it would have been a worthwhile function.
