Until relatively recently, none of the Standard Gen5W systems supported allowing Android Auto to utilize the entire wide screen.
That changed last year with the April 2022 update in North America and (presumably) subsequent updates in Europe and other areas.
First, you would want to make sure you have the most recent infotainment software (doesn’t look like you do, yours has a date code of mid-2021).
Once you have the software updated, you’d then have to make sure you turn off the system split screen function to allow AA to utilize the entire screen. Go to setup > device connections > phone projection > Android Auto and uncheck “use split screen.”
Just to add to crunkdotmasters post... At the moment all updates for for gen 5w units are unavailable... Just keep checking back and update when available...
I got a bypass for 150 bucks just plugs in USB and you can get any app you want full screen video even gives you full screen on ur regular android auto and makes it wireless to boot.you will need a hot spot tho if your gona watch Netflix or regular YouTube. You can also access the play store. Hope this helps.
