Yes I had to disconnect battery. Walk away with key fob and come back in 5 min. Once it all came
Back on I was able to connect to the head unit. Also I deleted my phone from the head unit before the battery disconnect.

Thank you, I will try that and see if it doesn't fix it.

Good gracious, that was a helluva mix. Reading through the thread, sorry, didn't mean to touch a nerve with this whole thing. I honestly don't even know what sync does...is it an app? I mean I know that it is supposed to come with it and I remember the dealer talking a little about it but I couldn't ever figure it out so I gave up. As you can tell, I have absolutely noooo expertise in tech.

I had problems connecting to car play and it turned out the be the vpn settings on the phone. Try this:
On your phone go to settings, look for vpn. It should be disconnected. If it says connected that’s the problem.

You don’t need to pull battery to do a reset. Hold the power and seek forward buttons for 10 seconds and the head unit will reboot. If that doesn’t work use the settings menu to do a master reset. This will erase your phone and all settings.

I wondered if that may be it as well. I have been having problems with my VPN connecting to anything. I noticed the problem about two weeks ago on my phone. However, the problem from my bronco didn't start until the system was updated. I did go into my VPN this morning and added the network to trusted. It seemed after that was when I was able to get it to work. However, like the post says, every day seems to have something different work...I'm just tired of spending 20 minutes trying to figure out what that something is.

If I turn my vpn app on , it stays on even if I turn it off with the same app. I have to go to settings to actually turn it off.

The entire entertainment system is shit because it's designed to collect data while being connected to something else that was designed to collect data. Its a big ole data collection cluster fuck. That's my theory and I'm right.
Ford's execution of the connected vehicle is garbage! Fact checked by my use of it

My iphone and carplay works perfectly. Wonder what the difference is?

If we knew that, I never would have posted in here.
Parts from different manufacturers because of supply issues?

Fair enough. These computer gremlins are always confusing. Hope you figure it out.
