Hi @dontpannic that sounds the same as mine, although I don't have the icon of the car in the top right. I have a '+' in the top left, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Strangely, the green/amber/red lines do very briefly show up on mine sometimes, but only for a second or two. That leads me to believe there's a setting somewhere that could keep them on. 

Yep - exactly the same as mine. I see the lines the first time I turn on the car and select reverse quickly - I think maybe before the APIM has fully booted.

For the icon in the top right, Rowan sent me the following:

for parking sensors go to apim asbuilt

7D0-02-02 xxxx-*xxx-xxxx

change * to 2

But the dynamic lines are a total unknown sadly!

This guide is obviously fantastic and has been really helpful for me even though I have bought a loom. 

However, and I cannot believe this hasn't been changed in the OP or even mentioned in this thread, if you have Android Auto you don't need to buy a new USB Hub. 

I have spent a lot of time looking for the correct parts and ordered a new USB hub from Ford which I now realise I don't even need and it's non returnable. 

So if possible can the OP be amended as it'll save a lot of frustration for anyone else planning on doing this with Android Phones.
