R5T and CarPlay

[Bobbybob]

Did the update and now can no longer keep my phone connected or access CarPlay. It's not the phone...has not changed. Did the update and now it takes a few tries to get the phone connected, if I can. If it does connect, CarPlay will eventually find its way but it does not remember the phone and auto reconnect. I have done a soft reset the phone (iPhone 17 Max Pro), deleted the profile from the phone and the Uconnect system (2025 14.5") and still does not change the behavior. Anyone else?

What version of Uconnect are you currently running?

Okay...here is what I have learned to help out here a bit.

After the update, my iPhone lost connection. Deleted the profile on the phone and the truck and tried to reconnect. It would connect by then would disconnect. Did soft reset on the phone a few times and got the same behavior. Did a soft reset on the Uconnect system (hold down power for 15-20 seconds), did this twice, and then reset the phone again. Connected to the system and the BT connection finally hung on, but would not go into CarPlay mode. Would only let me access the BT phone connection (phone, music, etc). Looked into the phone while connected and noticed that my Wifi was connecting to the Android Auto hot spot coming from the Uconnect system, like it was confused as to what type of platform was connected to it. I disconnected that the wifi connection and forget it. I have not had anymore issues. The phone will connect each time I get it, it recognizes that it is running iOS, it launches CarPlay, and stays connected.

Now, if you could just get my pedals to stop shaking when I go over bumps to where my whole pedal cluster shakes, that would be awesome. According to the dealer this amount of pedal vibration is normal. Makes no sense to me.

Let me know if all this makes sense or if you have any questions about it. Think I captured most of the steps I went through.
