I’ve had my Uconnect5 12” for one week and experienced this multiple times with wireless CarPlay. Three states I’ve observed:
1. Never connects. Continuous, circular busy indicator in device manager. This persists across multiple starts of the truck and iPhone power cycles. Deleting device in device manager and iPhone Bluetooth settings and then adding device has worked so far. Have had to reset Uconnect system before CarPlay started. Gave up once after all this to have it connect immediately the next morning.
2. Takes a long time to connect. Intermittent, circular busy indicator. Indicator present while trying to correct then goes away briefly showing phone not connected. Connection cycle starts again automatically. Eventually connects if I leave it alone.
3. Connects immediately. This happens less than half the time.
There is a reset category under the settings app. Can also reset radio there. I’ll have to try resetting first, next time this happens.
