FISKER OCEAN - OCEAN OS 2.6 APPLE CARPLAY

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean receives the OS 2.6 OTA update, bringing Apple CarPlay and a "Hollywood Mode." While the update process is straightforward, the "Hollywood Mode" is currently hampered by slow performance and login issues with YouTube, though Prime Video functions. The reviewer notes that it's essentially a web browser with limited app access, and hopes for future additions like Netflix. Apple CarPlay integration, via the Autokit dongle, works in both wired and wireless modes. The reviewer prefers the wired connection for its stability, charging capabilities, and clearer call quality, though wireless can be set to automatic. Navigation with Apple Maps and Google Maps is demonstrated, with the reviewer noting Apple Maps' tendency to auto-zoom. The update does not address existing OS 2.5 bugs, such as Bluetooth connectivity issues, which are slated for a separate 2.5.2 update. Future updates are promised to include phone mirroring and further bug fixes.
