I've been having a few rather lively conversations with my MME the last couple of days regarding two issues - no wireless CarPlay (a long time problem) and, most recently, no PAAK! She had been behaving like a new colt since I had the SSM 49676 update, but these two items were not cooperating.
After multiple deletions and restarts of phone, apps and settings on the car I was at my wit's end. Then, for some reason, I started looking deep into my settings on the phone. I first went into CarPlay's subsettings - Bluetooth was OFF!!! Then I went to the FordPass app. Bluetooth was off there also!!!! With a flick of a few buttons on the phone and five minutes reconnecting the car and phone everything was working like it should!!! It just took pointing my finger in a different direction (not at the car)!!
The moral - it there is one - Sometimes its a good idea to check both ends of the problem (in this case,the phone settings.) I know I didn't turn bluetooth off intentionally but ?? or perhaps recent updates to IOS triggered it. At any rate - perhaps this will be of help and serve as a reminder to we on the bleeding edge of technology- carry extra bandaids!
