1 Eveytime I started the truck it went to CarPlay weather I wanted to use it or not.
2 When I tried to stop using it it would pop back up
3 It kept overriding the radio station I was listening to with IHeart radio

When I would switch it off it would come back on by itself. So I finally turned it off and went backed to wired.

I am pretty sure the 2021 and lowers do not support it because the hardware is not there. If I am not mistaken it uses Bluetooth for the connection. The older Sync system does not have the bandwidth to support the wireless CarPlay.
Ummmm, did you turn it off on your iPhone?

Made me wonder if Ford will do this any time soon? Nothing was changed in her suv just a software update that took about 45 minutes. They sent a letter out and offered it as a complimentary service.
Makes me think the capability is there for Ford as well?
Ford will not make wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto active via a software update.

Plug the phone in to the USB port, let it find the phone then select CarPlay. Or go into setting on the Sync and select use CarPlay. Ford Pass is not what you need to run Waze.
