Just FYI to anyone still having issues. iOS 15.0.2 is available and fixed my carplay/amazon music issues.

Iphone 12 pro here. Same issue with amazon music. Says it can't connect. If I open the app on the phone (which won't open if the phone is connected to the truck) and start playing something, it plays and I can go to next and previous track. Still can't navigate the music in the app in sync 3.4...

When my phone is plugged in for carplay it seems that no matter what it uses the Apple maps for navigation. Even if I hit the sync app to go back to the main sync menu and hit the navigation button, it still goes to Apple maps. Occasionally I am in areas where cell service is spotty and apple...

I am exactly the opposite. Once I got used to not having to take my car keys out of my pocket and not having a bunch of keys hanging from the ignition jingling, I couldn't go back. Especially with the way this truck bounces and rocks back and forth over rough roads. It was one of the main...

My insurance on a 2020 passport and 2019 ranger was $1800 a year (Safeco). Then I added a 2020 hr-v and my 16 year old daughter and it went up to $4800 a year(!). And that is with the good student discount. I considered buying a used car at first but my mom died last year and my sister and I...

Just reviving this old thread with some fresh lightning blue. Buffed and coated with Exoforma graphene coating today. Goes on and off really easy. Hoping it lasts a little longer than the regular ceramic spray. Also replaced the fender inserts. Spendy but they look pretty cool. Other mods are a...

The climate controls in sync is probably the only thing I really don't like about my Ranger. It was especially annoying when the sync 3.4 update took away the climate controls and most of the winter I was at the mercy of the automatic controls as far as how the air was directed. My previous...

I thought maybe someone had mentioned it based on the length of the thread but was too lazy to look through all the replies. It confounded me too when I first got it and had to have my salesman show me.

You don't have to unplug your phone to get back to the sync screen. When carplay is active, there is an app on the screen that says ford sync. When you tap that, it takes you back to the main sync screen. If you are playing music, it will still be playing. Then you can change your climate...

The only other vehicle I like in this segment is the Ridgeline. Up until the 2021 refresh I didn't like the styling at all though. Besides, honda is super stingy with the incentives. I got an awesome deal on the Ranger with a no interest loan last year. Overall I love the Ranger and would buy...

Ha. I still need 4wd where I live. Plus, has to be a Lariat because I do need (well not need but once I got used to not having to use a key and not having keys hanging from the column, it became an important want) push button start and the premium audio.

Thanks for the info. I love my Ranger but if this had been available at the time I likely would have gone with it. Honestly for what I use it for, the Ranger is too much truck for me. I have the FX4 with the tow package but don't really need to tow anything. Standard tow capability would have...

Does anyone know how the hybrid system actually works? I see people mentioning how they don't care for the cvt. It is listed as an eCVT though. I suppose this could be a traditional cvt that is electronically controlled. However, Honda's Insight has an 'eCVT', but it doesn't actually have a...

Automatic wipers usually use IR light projected on the windshield to detect rain drops. Some systems use the camera that is part of the driver assistance package. If you leave them on when it is not raining, something else like a bug hitting the windshield can set them off. You should really...

USB still working normally today. It seems silly but I am so happy about this finally working. I have been dealing with it for months and it was so frustrating wanting to use carplay and not have it work most of the time. I went ahead and updated to 3.4.21098. Update went much faster than...

That's the worst part of doing it every time a new one comes out. It takes a long time, although maybe some of the time it took mine was because of the bad ports. I spent all summer last year without the climate controls on the screen until a new version came out that fixed that. I am kind of...

The only ones that show up are the standard ones like maps and google maps, phone, messages, etc. I use Amazon music so that is there. I have had the 'prompt volume' problem that some have attributed to Waze, but have never had that app installed.

I've actually thought about that today. Is it possible that it only partially got updated? The version shown is the version I last installed. However since it was the usb ports that were the problem and those are the same ones that are used to do the updates, maybe that is part of the software...

I should also point out that the cplay2air did not work properly either until I replaced the usb ports. Same issue, sometimes would come right up and others it would be 10 or 15 minutes before it came up. Sometimes during a drive it wouldn't work at all. Now so far, every time I have gotten in...

Yes the screen is pretty bad. The one in the Passport is high res and very bright. Honda's infotainment system (accord, passport, pilot) is fast and free from any consistent glitches.
