So, every time my wife drives the MME, I have issues connecting to CarPlay the next time I drive. Same thing happened this morning, so I did the same thing I always do and restart the phone and the car. Has always solved it, but it didn’t this time. So I decided to remove my phone and re-add it to the MME. Now I don’t even have an option for “Connect to Apple CarPlay.” I honestly wish I could tell Ford that I don’t want to use their software and one of the main reasons I got an MME over a Model 3 was CarPlay. Now I don’t have it.

Have you tried connecting your phone with a lightning cable. My Carplay wireless connection capability went away a few weeks ago after an update and has not returned. But it does work if I connect the cable and unlock the phone. You're right - very frustrating.

Are you setting up 2 separate driver profiles?

Sorry I don't have an easy answer. My partner and I both use Carplay in my Mach-E and have never had issues switching between each of us.

I have had intermittent Carplay glitches, but a Sync4 restart generally fixes them. (Volume Down + Right Seek on the steering wheel).
