FISKER OCEAN - OCEAN OS 2.6 ANDROID AUTO

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean receives the OS 2.6.0.4 OTA update, bringing Android Auto and a "Hollywood Mode." While the update process is straightforward, the "Hollywood Mode" is largely unusable due to slow performance and login issues with YouTube, though Prime Video functions. The update introduces "Autokit" for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, supporting both wired and wireless connections. Navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze function well, with Google Maps offering more persistent zoom controls than its iPhone counterpart. However, call stability over wireless Android Auto is reported as iffy, with a fix expected soon. The reviewer notes that critical bugs from OS 2.5, including Bluetooth issues, remain unaddressed, with fixes planned for a separate 2.5.2 update. Future updates are promised to include phone mirroring and further enhancements to "Hollywood Mode" to improve performance.
