Apps on the media screen

l asked this question a while ago but didn't get a definitive answer, only that it was possible.

How can l move an app from screen 2 to screen 1?
Spotify is on screen 2 and l use it all the time, the vehicle often shuts the app down when l leave the car so l have to open it again.
lt would be better if l didn't have to swipe on to screen 2 in order to get to it.

If you are talking about the home screen with the three tiles, you swipe right once (or keep swiping left) and you'll see an icon with a pencil. Tap it, and you can select which tiles you want and where they are located on the home screen.

If you're talking about this screen:

Then you hold down on an icon and drag it to the bar on the left (or right for LHD vehicles) and you can replace the standard nav/phone/media shortcuts with whatever you select. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝟎 𝐒 𝐏𝟑𝟎𝟎 (Pangea Green over Acorn/Lunar)

You do it on your phone itself.
Go to Settings, General, CarPlay. Select the Pivi for your vehicle then click Customize.
You can then reorder the apps or delete or add as you wish

Oh, you didn't mention it was for Apple CarPlay. I only use CarPlay when I'm in a rental car without navigation, so I don't really bother to try to adjust anything. I think it mirrors you phone, so you might want to put Spotify on you home screen. Although swiping to the next screen doesn't take any effort. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝟎 𝐒 𝐏𝟑𝟎𝟎 (Pangea Green over Acorn/Lunar)

l never knew it mirrors your phone.

l'll have a look at it. l should have realised, with apps like "ring go" on there, which is a parking meter app.

l've only had the Defender two years and still thought the apps on the media screen were installed in the vehicle.

The media screen, and the picture you took are two separate things. Your picture is of the Apple Carplay home screen which is derived from apps on your phone.

The "Media screen" is the Pivi based screen where the code/apps resides inside the brains of the Defender. 2022 Defender 110 SE P400 Tasman Blue Expedition and Cold weather package
