Welcome screen animation gone missing

[Azpuck]

When I got my 2023 Badlands it had the rocks forming into the horse video on the 12" screen. Now it doesn't. Any way to get it back?

I noticed the same thing this weekend in mine. I searched through some settings but couldn't seem to find anything. I rather switch mine back too. Looking for answers as well.

I do know there was a recent update which I hope they didn't remove it all together.

Will check this on my ‘23 Badlands but my biggest qualm was the quality. Overall idea was neat but graphics rivaled a Nintendo 64z

I noticed it, too, after my daughter tells me her Kona welcomes her, and I said, watch this....and NOTHING! lol

Animation now costs $1.99 month. j/k

This was my thought as well, legit moving it behind a pay wall.

Broncos are no longer safe to play in the dirt. A new startup animation with bubble-boy suit and ball-pit will follow.

The rock/horse splash screen is still showing on mine, with having had a “power update” about two weeks back.

The animation shows upon door open, not during ignition

My center screen always works, but the IPC animation is hit and miss. Not sure if others have made the observation or listed in the "Easter Egg" collection, but I like how the rocks on the center screen come from the IPC (when it's working properly).

Mine too.

I use remote start every single time, so I wouldn’t know or notice.

For those not using remote start, do you sit there for a full minute while the Bronco warms up and idles down, or just take off?

I'm going to check mine when I get home today. I have had auto updates turned off for a couple weeks now.

I usually wait. I don't think you ~have~ to, but I feel better about it, and have done it with all my vehicles. It also gives Carplay time to figure out WTH it's going to do. If I try to just go, and I put it in reverse, Carplay connecting will sometimes interrupt the backup camera.

That said, both of my animations are glitchy. I don't think I've ever seen the Sync one complete all the way through, usually the rocks freeze and play jerky. The dash is very hit or miss too, sometimes nothing at all there. Even something simple like just adjusting the volume - the graphic that comes up for that is very slow/late -- like 2-3 seconds after I'm done adjusting it will try to pop up and tell me I moved the volume from 8 to 12.

My wife's BSport it plays smooth every time. And the volume tracks smoothly as you adjust it in real time. And it all just feels more polished. It feels like my Bronco is trying to run the entertainment and dashboard from a graphic calculator from 1987.

I chalk it up to chip shortage issues, but it's kinda embarrassing that my expensive car can't play a startup animation correctly but Kia can do it just fine. (Not saying I'd trade my Bronco for a Kia...)

Mine works just fine. ‘22 4-door Badlands. Sounds like maybe take it to the dealer and have them reload the os.

Usual pace is, ignition, seatbelt, close garage, connect phone, take off. Plenty of studies out there now showing you don’t even really need to wait for it to warm up, just don’t drive it hard till the coolant gauge moves off dead cold.
