[DutchRanger]

You called for the OP? Or you had a similar issue that was resolved through calling Ford IT?

I had the same issue

Maybe it's the phone, Apple products are absolute overpriced hot garbage.

That is true, doesn't change the fact they are an over priced junk product.

So where are you getting your “junk product “ from? Proof?

I won’t buy anything but Apple products, but that may change, the latest IOS infuriates me beyond words.

I have an iphone for work....only because it is company issued. I was forced into the liquid glass update....that is a rolling disaster.

On my ‘25 Ranger XLT with tech pack, my iPhone Bluetooth settings indicate that my phone is not connected to my Ranger - yet everything on CarPlay works just fine. Odd.
I gave a few half hearted attempts to address this, but I eventually gave up because everything seems to work as it should. I have no idea why my iPhone says that it is not connected to my Ranger when it obviously is…
My truck and phone have been like this since I bought it back in April of 2025.

I have a 25 Ranger Lariet bought in April of 25. It now has 11,000 miles. A couple of time Apple Car Play would not connect but this was solved by turning of the truck and restarting. Over the last few days, Car Play does not connect at all. The phone, a 15 Pro, says it is connected via Bluetooth but there is nothing on the “indication” screen. I have deleted the phone twice and re-paired it but it is still not working. However, I can hear what is on the phone through the speakers. Any suggested fixes would be appreciated!

As a follow up to my post above, thanks for the suggestions. For whatever reason Apple Car Play started working again, at least for now.

Apple when their liquid glass beta didn’t go as planned…

My son starts his Ute waits until CarPlay starts then shifts into drive. He finds that if he shifts before connection CarPlay has issues. I’m not sold on it but it works for him. Happy carplaying.

I've had issues a few times if I get out of the truck with my phone while engine still running and move far enough away it loses connection, when I get back in sometimes it never reconnects. Only solution I've had in these cases was to "reboot" the truck. turn off engine, open/close door, then start again. sometimes even had to reboot the phone. Not sure what is going on with that but quite annoying. I did this reboot procedure one time at a stoplight which was quite annoying.
