CarPlay Nav can’t position the MME

[alexvasceanu]

I tried to remove the Carplay setup, no success, it still happened after resetup.

I tried to pair an Android phone and the problem did not manifest.
Seems to be Carplay specific.

Is there a way to open a suport ticket with ford, or only dealers have a mechanism to do that?

This has been happening intermittently for me. It can happen in the middle of a route when suddenly the location puts me a mile or so off. It is the GPS on the phone that is being used and it is getting confused. When it happens, I have confirmed it is on every app on the phone (and CarPlay). It will remain confused until I stop the car and turn it off. I sit there and can watch as the location jumps to the correct location a few seconds after turning off the car.

I fixed mine doing this by rebooting my phone. Came right back while doing 70 on the freeway it didn't think I was on.

I think that's a bug. I had those glitches before. I don't remember how I fixed them. Probably by rebooting the phone or may be just disconnecting the phone from the car and then connecting it again.
But it is definitely a glitch that appears randomly for some unknown reason.

I have noticed that if my iPhone is in my pocket, I get similar issues with GPS showing me a ways away from where I am at in Waze and Apple Maps. I have a holder mounted on the screen and if the phone is there, no issues. I believe it is tied to the metal in the windshield restricting the GPS signal to the point where the phone loses its location.

I had no issues for a year and a half with my MY'21. This just started happening and is either the model year ('23, but I think I have heard others with different model years having problems), the Ford update, the iOS update, or the CarPlay update. It isn't the phone hardware, because it has been working fine for a long time. My wife never uses her phone for maps on her hand-me-down
'21, because the charger overheats her phone (charging pad bug). She gravitated to the Ford Navigation and hasn't been using the phone for that, so I don't know if her MY '21 has the issue or not.

Also the phone doesn't work very well at all in your pocket if you are driving. I think the door module pisses off the GPS>

This happens to me all the time. Not sure when it started. Wasn’t always this way. But it sure is annoying.

I believe android auto uses the cars gps, but CarPlay uses the phone. Ive only had this issue if my phone is my pocket, but when its on the charging pad its pretty much 100% fine with gps location. about year or so ago id have this issue, and closing the app on my phone and brining it back up fixed the issue. But i assume updates since i haven't had to do that.

Weeeeeeird. When CarPlay is running, supposedly it's taking the GPS data from the car's antenna instead of the phone's antenna, so maybe hard reboot Sync AND your iPhone. That's very strange.

I’m pretty sure CarPlay ignores the car’s antenna. The programs are running on the phone and just displaying on the car. If I keep my phone in my pocket, I can get some gps readings that are off by a number of feet. That clears up when I take the phone out and place it on the center console.

Exactly the same experiences and the same fix. I love my Spigen MagSafe charger mount!

I updated to iOS 16.5 a few weeks ago and it has since been working correctly.
