Oddly, CarPlay just started working for me this morning. No idea why. I didn't do anything to change it, didn't update the OS or the car....

I'm having this same issue! Same 2021 Job 1 car and the issue failed with the iOS 26.2 update. No changes on the car and it is on the latest software. My wife doesn't use CarPlay, but I'll see if I can get her phone to connect and then try my phone again.

No solutions yet, unfortunately. When I get back, I'll probably take the car to the dealership and have them address it while I still have a little bit left on my extended warranty.

Yes, I've checked fuses 61 and 71 in the fuse box under the frunk (it's pretty straightforward now to take out). I've had fuse 61 blow before, which connects to the port in the center console, so I knew where to check, but I was baffled that the fuse was intact. I even switched fuses 61 and 71...

TL;DR: Any tips to diagnose or fix a power failure with the 12v socket in the trunk? I’ve checked both fuse 61 and 71 (I believe 71 is the trunk) and both are intact. I’ve been experimenting with different battery packs to extend the time on a dash cam. The latest experiment is with the...

My wife and I use PaaK pretty much exclusively. One thing that I found that helped when the car was not responding to the phone is to wake it up with a brief press on the door keypad. That seems to wake up the radios in the car, and then the door buttons will glow white when it recognizes the phone.

I just got the PAAK reinstall notice in the Ford App, so with the 10.2.0 update, you'll have to reinstall. You can probably do this manually by removing the phone from the list in the app and then setting it up again. @MachEnthusiast , yeah, that's what I noticed. The update drained the 12V...

@rreddy3 is so awesome. Thank you for doing that for someone you barely know!

For those of you who can’t install this because of the battery level, just buy a battery charger like I did. My battery is hovering around 70% and is being charged just fine by the HVB, so I didn’t bother changing it out. If you want to measure your battery level, you can buy an OBD Bluetooth...

I use PaaK almost exclusively. One thing that works for me is to touch the keypad if I don't see the door button light up. That usually wakes the car which then connects to my phone and then the door button lights up. My phone is an iPhone 15 Pro.

Update: I charged the 12v to 99%, then I ran the update with the charger still connected. It updated without fail. I used the Noco Genius 5.

Thanks. I'm buying a new trickle charger, since his thread calls for >4V, so we'll see. I was hoping for another solution because I didn't want to pull off all the trim in the frunk, but it looks like I might just need to anyway... It's also weird because in the 4+ years of owning the Mach-E...

I can’t seem to get this update installed. I've been following @MachELee 's post on getting the 12v battery SoC up (https://www.macheforum.com/how-to-get-failed-otas-to-install/) and have tried the 30 min drive, long charge, slow charge, stay on, and blower charge method and none of them have...

One thing I do recommend trying is to lower the charge rate and see if it works. For me, DCFC and 6kW L2 chargers work fine, but I cannot use my Emporia charger at the full 48A. I used to get errors all the time, so I kept lowering the amps until I got to 42A. Now it charges every time without...

You'd think, but while the charge port is covered, the lock actuator itself isn't. It's tricky. I spend a whole week trying to figure out coverage of this because even the ExtraCARE documentation covers powertrain components, but since it's not part of the actual EV system, it isn't a powertrain...
