Perhaps someone in an Apple or Carplay centric forum might be able to help, this is not a Ford thing.When I got in the truck yesterday I was greeted with this CarPlay message for the first time. I’ve been using CarPlay for a year and a half and this was the first I’ve seen this. Wonder why now?
I disagree. I believe that this is a disclaimer from Ford. It specifically mentions Ford and the UI is Sync, not Apple's. If so, it may be the result of a recent Sync update or perhaps a timeout on a previous acceptance.
Possibly, I get this on random occasions even with Android Auto, might be related the core AA or CP application changes on your phone.
No it's not, it's clearly stating Apple carplay and what it may do with your data.
Agree to disagree. That's a Sync alert. Why would Apple ask one to enable CarPlay when it's already loaded on the screen? It's clearly a disclaimer saying Ford is not responsible for data Apple collects. I'd bet they have the same alert for Android Auto. The question is what triggers it.
Yes Sync is Micro$oft and it's also a well known fact they do not get along with anything Apple. The only reason they added iOS support is they didn't want to exclude anyone. You might be surprised to know the operating system is Linux based not Windows.
This is all irrelevant to the thread and partly false. I won't elaborate on it further.
This alert has nothing to do with an issue. It's simply the lawyers at Ford wanting to cover the company w/r/t data privacy. Again, the alert is happening in Sync. There is no method I'm aware of in this iteration of CarPlay for Apple to inject an alert into the truck's provided infotainment system. There's really no other way I can explain this. Maybe somebody else can either do a better job or tell me I'm wrong in a meaningful way.
We're definitely going to have to agree to disagree, somehow our conversation is lost in translation. I consider any message on screen an issue, be it a simple click to fix or replacing hardware, doesn't matter, it's still an issue, look up the definition if you don't believe me.
Let me note that pretty much everything in these three sentences is false.
When did Ford take it over? It's Microsoft in my other truck, a 2013. And why does my router report a connection from a Linux based entity when I connected it to my wifi?
Ford dumped Microsoft over a decade ago, in December 2014. SYNC is in NO WAY a Microsoft product anymore, and hasn't been for several generations of Ford vehicles.
Like I said, I have Sync by Microsoft in my 2013, it even has a tag on the door below the system stating such. If they dropped Sync in 2014, that would explain why I didn't know about Ford taking it over. Not a lie!
I've owned Apple products since 1983 when I bought a Lisa. Within fifteen feet of where I am sitting there are seven Apple devices. I have actually TWICE been retained as a consultant to Apple. I have personally been responsible for MILLIONS of dollars in Apple product purchases over the last 40 years. I was literally in the audience, in person, when on August 7, 1997 Microsoft leader Bill Gates told Steve Jobs that Microsoft was investing $150 million in Apple and was committing to full interoperability between the Mac and what would become known as the Office Suite.
