CarPlay and Sync 3

Just a heads up, CarPlay wouldn’t work after updating my iPhone to IOS14. I connected the truck to WiFi at home and updated Sync 3 and its all back to normal. It’s always something with all this software but at least this was a quick and easy fix!

Go to <Settings> <General> and <Automatic System Updates> scroll to the bottom and select <Scan for Updates Now>

My phone/truck interface works just fine. It's the latest update to the phone that has me messed up. Have you tried to set an alarm clock? Talk about change for the sake of change!

update - so the truck (weirdly) refused to connect to wifi

i had to do a Sync Reset, then connect to wifi (it would then) ... then update Sync.

so far so good... other than i bet my long standing issue remains... when on Apple CarPlay and i get or place a call... consistently the person on the other end of the phone says "i can barely hear you"

No issue when bluetooth only.

bummed.
