Not that many use it, but the Apple Maps navigation directions have been integrated like that for a while as well. I did notice that Google is now similarly integrated. Waze needs to follow suit next.
This is my recommendation too. I take my BMWs to a trusted German specialist and I take my Bronco to a local 4x4 specialist (they started as a Range Rover restoration shop). I have those shops do everything from oil changes to tires to repairs. Dealership just does recalls and warranty repairs...
Yep. Sucks it happened. It happened to me about a year ago. It’s rare. But things fail like that sometimes. It’s not even close to a recall need though. I watch the posts about this issue and this issue hasn’t been posted about more than a handful of times over the past few years. Ford will fix...
That sucks. No doubt. That said, given your past experience with Fords and the fact that my original post was more than a year old without any more alerts about this issue, I think these are super isolated incidents. This is not at all a chronic problem with the 7 MT. They fixed mine in about...
I’m now a couple of days in — so far so good. It has connected automatically like it is supposed to each time I have gotten in. Have low confidence this will last, but I’m enjoying it for now!
Well, I have good news on the CarPlay front (and updated a separate thread I had started about this as well).
Last time I just did a “Reset” of my iPhone. This time I did a full factory delete and restore and cleared everything on the phone. Removed all the previous connections on both the...
Funny you should post this when you did as I was just pulling up this message to update this thread. My previous reset was the “light” reset on the phone. I did the full factory reset this morning and after a few hours of getting my phone back up and running, I just walked in from my garage...
I just drove home from getting mine done and it was the same situation as OP’s. No need for new shocks. Just installed the new covers.
Dealership also verified that my wireless CarPlay issue must be related to my phone as they were able to get their iPhones to work. So I guess I’m doing a full...
I don’t want to be stuck in the past, but this isn’t a step toward the latest technology either. If they were going to actually embrace the next generation of phone <-> vehicle integration, they would have kept their contract with Apple and embraced the next generation of CarPlay. Instead, they...
Ok, that makes sense. I got my Bronco in Feb 24 and it was barely a functioning app at that point. Hadn’t tried to log in for a while and when I did again it would no longer load. Good to know they invested all of their programmer time into a new infotainment system that seems to be taking the...
So — did they just completely abandon that app? I tried to pull it up a few times in the last month and it looks like the app is now fully bricked. Gives me a login screen but doesn’t react when I press the login with FordPass button.
I’m with you and your take here. It looked promising and the...
This is where I’m at as well. Posted about it last week. We aren’t alone and I still can’t find a solution. Have fully reset both my phone and the Sync4 system and wireless just refuses to work anymore. Just make CarPlay function as intended. Nothing else in an infotainment system matters to...
Have done that for both the Sync4 and my phone. Purged the connections on both first, then reset them and started fresh. Still couldn’t make it work on wireless.
Oh man, I thought this might have been the solution because I have a mesh network access point in my garage. Thought that might have been what was interference by. But I just tried forgetting the network on my phone but kept WiFi o. hoping that would do the trick but got same results.
And I...
Thanks. That is indeed one of the settings I checked and made sure it was enabled. When I read that advice in a forum, I got excited that it might have been the one that I was missing but, alas, it was already enabled.
Yeah, that was the “minor glitching” that I was referring to. It was annoying but when I did the system reset like you described I could always get it to work again. Until about 2 months ago. Sync 4 really is a garbage piece of software.
I'm especially frustrated because I installed a proper...
I know I’m not the only one who has experienced this. Also know not everyone has and it’s not just Ford’s infotainment system that has been impacted (have seen the same reported problem for other car brands using CarPlay). I’ve searched Apple forums, this forum, and everywhere else online I can...
Thanks for all who gave solutions to this. Like OP, I set mine off once a week at least. It is a sensitive little bastard.
Another reason why I need to get ForScan. But damn it suck’s I’m going to have to buy a Windows computer for this single purpose. All of our computers are Mac and this is...
I suppose it’s easier to offer “well designed” products when you steal designs from other companies and hide behind a foreign incorporation in China avoid the consequences of that IP theft. When I was considering the fold out table I ended up speaking to someone at iAG, the company who spent the...
I have had the iAG steps for over a year and they are great. Broaddict is a company that just takes other companies’ designs and replicates them and sells them a little cheaper. I don’t like that tactic so I order from iAG (my tailgate table is iAG and Broaddict also sells that copied table...
