I've had similar issues since 3.3.1. CarPlay connects only sporadically. It really seems to hate if my wife's phone is also in the car, even though I deleted her phone from the car and only my phone is now registered. (She never drives the car without me as she prefers her car.)

And as @ponydsp says, the "Advanced Dual Phone" (AKA "Stupidly Broken CarPay") doesn't work with CarPlay and I suspect that it is the cause of the issues we're experiencing.

I've also had problems with the Guest profile being selected and like you, I couldn't change the profile to my profile, either from the screen or using the door buttons. Oddly I could select my wife's profile however!

Rebooting Sync has "fixed" the above problems, but like you've I've had to reboot it multiple times since 3.3.1. (Prior to the 3.3.1 update I'd needed to reboot it only a couple or so times since I bought the car in early March.)

(I responded to Ford's EA survey with the above observations/trouble reports, but haven't heard back from them...)
This resolved my 3.3.1 CarPlay and rebooting sync issues:

1) Delete phones, I had to reboot Sync via the steering wheel if it will not let you delete
2) on the iPhone goto Settings > General > About > Name And give it a new name.
3) add phone back in via Phone List, allow Wireless CarPlay when asked
4) Test to make sure it’s working
5) now add the second phone, making sure it has a new name as well.

give that a go, see how it works.

Thanks! If the problem keeps happening, I’ll give it a try, though I’d prefer to not rename my phone… 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Are the rollout for these updates paused for some reason? I haven't seen any recent posts or action on this.
