Wireless app projection

[Gringo Starr]

I have had my Bronco for a bout a week and I decided to get Carplay setup. Every time I try to start Carplay, it tells me that wireless app projection is off and it gives me an option to turn it on. I choose that, but nothing happens. I found wireless app projection in the connectivity menu, but the slider to turn it on never moves. Is there something simple that I'm missing, or is this something I'm going to need the dealership to take a look at?

what exactly are you trying to do. it should bluetooth/wifi connect to yer phone and automatically be on car play...try turning Bluetooth discoverable or scanning on yer device?

I have the bluetooth working. I can make calls and play audio. When I go into Apps and try to start Carplay it says that wireless app projection is off and asks me to turn it on. When I do, nothing happens. If I connect my phone through USB, Carplay works fine.

For clarity's sake, when I start Carplay I see this screen.

Clicking on the Carplay icon gives me this.

Clicking on Yes, never enables wireless app projection and Carplay never starts.

If I go into the Connectivity menu, The slider is greyed out for wireless app projection.

I’ve never seen or even heard of wireless app projection. No clue what it means. Completely delete your phone. Then start over again and follow the onscreen prompts both in the car and on your phone. It’s very straightforward.

I have already deleted everything and started from scratch multiple times.

Check to make sure your carplay and bronco software is up to date. I use android auto, but I had this issue occasionally untill a couple of updates

This exact thing started happening to me this week. Was working fine for a year and a half until now. I believe wireless projection needs to be turned on for Android Auto or Carplay to work. I wonder if a recent update broke this.

Did you get your issue solved? I am having the same problem - would love to hear how you fixed it, thanks!

It's not a big enough deal for me to take it to the dealership over. Whenever I have a real reason to go, I'll have them take a look.

Has anyone ever resolved this issue? Ive had it for awhile now on my 2022 Bronco. Cant turn on the Wireless projection app. Phone connects with a usb cable.

I'm the same with Android. Works fine hardwired. I actually don't mind it because when it worked it would default to google maps, which I normally don't want, so now if I want maps I plug it in.

I had the same problem happen recently...tried several soft resets and nothing. I did a hard factory reset this past Saturday and it fixed the issue.
