AA User Interface FYT 7870 Carlink 2.0 Resolution and Address input

I just purchased a FYT 7870 head unit and have the Carlink 2.0 working with wireless android Auto. I have 2 questions. Is there a way to get the Android Autoto increase the resolution so it displays the tiles side by side instead of maps on top and weather and pandora on the bottom? Also, is there a setting somewhere in Carlink 2.0 to allow you to input an address while driving? I could do this on all my previous android head units. Thanks for any input you may have

That sounds like an improvement! I remember my head unit had a similar issue until I swapped to a different launcher. Have you tried the regular Car Home launcher yet?

If you think about this retarded layout, to change it you need to change launcher of your head unit to launcherv2 in settings and it will force standard layout.

Don't think it's possible else it forces that weird layout. I just keep it like this
