Hi!

I'm starting the second leg of my road trip tomorrow with the Maverick and heading home. My apple carplay has been nothing but fantastic until today. A few times today while turning on the truck and plugging in my Iphone it wont immediately start apple carplay when I plug into the front USB. The first time it took a few minutes of unplugging, replugging, and trying different cords. It finally reconnected with the original cord and it worked.

The second time my girlfriend somehow got it working by going to the find mobile apps screen and hitting the "find mobile apps" (pretty sure thats what its called) a few times. It came up with the error about it not being an apple product then randomly started working. I also tried starting and restarting the Maverick a few times and removing my Iphone and re-adding it but that did nothing then randomly started working. I can't fiddle with the truck tonight due to it being in a Valet garage (I'm in the city this is my only choice) until tomorrow. I would like to try to get this working ASAP tomorrow as soon as I get the truck I plan on getting our things loaded and hitting the road.

Has anyone else had this issue and has been able to resolve it? What did you do?

Have you updated your iPhone to the latest iOS? I know there was a specific CarPlay fix in the latest update.

Thanks me too! It didnt start having this issue until today after few short trips around the city. Soon as it started working it was fine. It did automatically start charging when it was plugged in so hopefully its an input issue on iphone side.

Turn off your phone and then restart it.
Tried that as well and didn't help. Downloaded the 15.2.1 update and will try it tomorrow when I get the truck back. Hoping it works quickly just like it did before.

Check to make sure the lightning port on phone is clear too, and free of debris. That can lead to the phone making a bad connection

@Aza was correct! It was my iphone suddenly bugging out, installing the 15.2.1 update helped it connect flawlessly for the trip home! Its weird that it didn't give me issues until yesterday but seems to be fixed now!

Hi FMC,

Thanks for the reaching out but this was two months ago lol. I was able to resolve this with installing the latest iphone update that fixed this.

After getting my 2022 Maverick back from A No Start warrantee repair, my center front USB plugged failed to provide power or maps in apple Car play..tried several chords.. no luck. But hours later after turning car off and on, it started to work..no clue why (dry 95 degree clean conditions). I now have both power and Apple Car play maps etc…Bluetooth options did work all the time..its a connector plug related issue.
