Wireless Connection Failed

[Abraham5G]

I'm getting the same Wireless Connection Failed message on Android Auto. It's happened multiple times since I got my truck new last week. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Add me to the list. Mine started acting up last month. Now extra details. One, I sometimes notice a temporary message along the lines of Low Power Mode On or something like that. Anyone know what that is about? Truck is nearly always on a tender. On to Wireless Connection Failed. Is this sensitive to temperature? Today, it is COLD here, single digits. I left on an hour and a half trip. The connection would only hold for a minute or two, five tops. After the eighth reboot, I gave up and used the Ford map. Once I got to where I was going, I shut the now warm (engine and cab) truck off for maybe ten minutes, did my business, and got back in and started up. Automatically synced. I punched in "Home" in Waze and Amazon Music started playing. No issue for the entire trip back to town. We go to a restaurant to eat, so maybe an hour. Cab is pretty cold, engine still has some warmth to it though. We didn't get five minutes before it lost connection again. I spend a few minutes getting back onto the road home and when the trip settles in, I reset the screen. By now, cab and engine are warm, and no issues for the rest of the trip. Coincidence?

I found when I receive the wireless not connect error, for Iphone if you go into Setting>General>CarPlay...and toggle your vehicle on and off. It will reconnect within a couple seconds.



The attach video is what I usually do... To make this go quicker, I searched carplay from the home screen and it takes you right to the carplay settings
