Before the last upgrade, when traveling to a location where the truck has no signal with it's built-in cellular, I used to be able to go into the settings and turn on the Wifi and let it connect to my phone's hotspot and still have data/maps/music. The built-in cellular in the truck is poor in my area (even though I have 4 bars with Verizon on my phone, the truck will have zero signal).

So now when I go into Settings | Wifi the option is grayed out and says something like "Wifi will turn back on when parked." So I have no way to turn it on. And it doesn't look like it's "smart enough" to get data via the bluetooth connection. So no maps :-(.

Is anybody else having the same issue? I've opened a service appointment because it seems like that's the only way to get anything logged as an issue.

UPDATE: I received the latest update, and it allows me to turn on the wifi now, even while driving. Problem resolved. Canceled service ticket.
