I am starting a new thread, but this kind of has roots over at:

Rebecca,
You helped at the thread above getting that annoying 911 Assist Reminder turned off.
A day later we experienced a brief message on the screen, in yellow, about the 911 assist being off - too brief to read - followed by a black screen of death.
We could see the "header" and "footer" of the screen but everything in between was black.
I could change radio stations via the controls on the steering wheel and that little screen on the instrument panel but quite frankly I find that dangerous.
The only fix was to shut the car off and restart; hardly acceptable when on the interstate for an extended period of time.
2nd problem:
My wife's phone is connected via bluetooth, the only phone we have connected. I was driving and her phone rang. The phone panel popped up on the MFT but there was no way for her to answer it.
It appears I could have answered via the steering wheel controls and the instrument panel message, but that is unacceptable and - again, in my opinion - a potentially dangerous distraction for the driver (have you driven I-35 in Austin?).
She insists that before the update, she could answer via the large screen.
Help? (again, there seems to us to be no improvements of any kind with this update despite all the raving our Ford dealer did regarding this)
thanks.
