Yeah, I have an '18... so no CarPlay connectivity as standard.

Huh? I have an 18 and have carplay? Not sure what you mean.

I think what @nikhsub1 said still works in a 2018. I have a 2018, and that’s what I have used (Apple dongle) previous to this radio and it worked great.

I might start a thread with FAQs on this radio - not sure the best approach. I have several questions!

There is a thread on the F150 forum that’s seems to be 100s of lines and it’s all over the place.

There is already a specific thread for this radio here.

Was CarPlay an option or standard in ‘18? I don’t remember, when I had my ‘18 it was a custom order with every option and I had CarPlay but don’t recall if CarPlay was one of those options

Yeah - that thread doesn’t have much technical help. Ship times, weather around Raptorville and some install pics

Hmmm... I guess I never tried to use the usb for CarPlay. Sorry guys.

Well, so far the Bluetooth connectivity has been 50/50. With the oem radio, I used a CarPlay dongle it worked great but did require BT and WiFi.

So with the Android screen I did set it up with the BT connection (CarPlay dongle disconnected). That worked sometimes. I just tried clearing the Android BT connection and trying the CarPlay dongle again. It did nothing.

I like the CarPlay setup - I basically want my phone on the screen as the default with Sync3 functionality except I would like the ability to toggle over to a hotspot Android tablet on occasion.

No idea if it’s possible or how to get there.

Anyone doing anything like this?

Also, I am getting an occasional passenger airbag detection warning. Has anyone been able to clear this?

Yes. Is yours up on the dash on the tachometer side?

Airbag dash light On

So my airbag light just came on and now stays on in the instrument cluster. It isn't the passenger one. Anyone have any ideas? I connected my OBD code scanner to it but it didn't list any errors related to that. Any info appreciated.

It seems to happen after a passenger rides in the truck and gets out of the vehicle. Happened twice this morning.
