CarPlay Iphone No Volume

[K1v3nTX]

Having the most annoying thing happen regularly. I have an iPhone and use Carplay with my 2024 MachE Premium. When I start the car, Carplay connects, and I see and can navigate on the touchscreen; however, there is no volume. I see the progress bar moving as if it is playing, but nothing. To remedy the problem, I have to wait till I am stopped. Turn off the power. Open the door. Then start the car again. I have reinstalled my phone. My phone and car software are up to date. Does anyone else have this problem?

There are a few threads about this. You don't have to turn off the car. You can restart Sync while driving or turn the wifi off on your phone then back on. As far as why it is doing it? I have no idea but neither of my '21's did this but my '24 does and so does three other friends I know that have '24's. Hopefully there will be an update from Ford to fix this but not going to hold my breath.

I’ve had this problem on my ‘21, my ‘24, and my ‘23 Lightning, too. Annoying for sure. You don’t have to stop the car, though. Just go into settings and disconnect your phone from CarPlay then reconnect. That works.

Switching from CarPlay to AM/FM and back will work to bring CarPlay's audio back (most of the time).

It’s annoying as hell, especially when you’re listening to the radio and a phone call comes in and you can’t hear the person on the other side.

Whenever it happens to me I click on settings, phones, then switch the phone to Bluetooth music, and back to CarPlay.

I have found that it happens when I quickly put in drive after turning the car on. If I wait a few seconds, before drive or reverse, it never happens. I had someone with a Bronco complain to me about it and Ford told him the problem was with SYNC and it seems to apply to the Mach-e.

This happens way too often. Between this and the drive setting changing from unbridled to engaged ALL the time gets really annoying.

Take your car into the dealer. The drive mode thing is actually dangerous and was supposedly resolved a while back. ( I know, no one wants to hear go to the dealer, it feels too much like go to the DR. )

Happens to me too. I’ll try what you suggested by waiting a few before putting it in drive or reverse and see what happens. Never realized I’m putting it in drive or reverse too fast and that could be the issue.

As others have said, you just need to disconnect and reconnect CarPlay on the phone screen. A lot of trial and error got my process down to less than 15 seconds. Click in the CarPlay icon next to your phone name, give it a second, and press it again.

I have the issue where sometimes it doesn't even connect. Even if I use a cable. This car's feature suck compared to any other car I've owned.

I’ve been living with this problem for the past 3 years on my ‘21. Always do what you do, turn the car off at a red light and back on, sometimes it works, often it doesn’t. Wish Ford would work on solving this, since it’s likely to affect most of us. Truly annoying.

You mean Settings -> General -> CarPlay -> Mustang Mach-E and toggle CarPlay on and off? You never said how to disconnect and reconnect CarPlay on the phone screen.

I go Settings, Phones, and do it on that screen. I'm not near the car to be sure on the names of the buttons, though.

That is what I have been doing, didn’t help today.

I rebooted the phone, didn’t help. CarPlay connected but still no sound.

I rebooted sync, now the phone wouldn’t even connect wirelessly to CarPlay.

Finally had to plug it in using a cable and CarPlay connected.

Unplugged and lost CarPlay again but this time it did connect wirelessly and I had sound.

It has not been this painful in a while.
