Wireless connectivity may be frustrating (though I've never had connectivity issues plugged in to the USB port), but this is a really bizarre framing.
Just pull over.
Next time, try holding Volume down+forward buttons.
That being said, Ford makes great vehicles, but terrible software. My car has so many stupid bugs (all just annoyances).
An alternative solution is to not have to deal with these bugs in the first place by eliminating that extra layer. Thats what I am proposing. Direct connection of the phone to an AUX port is not carplay. It is the app running directly on the phone with its own context. Is it 100% bug proof? no because only a paper map would solve that problem. But far more testing has been done on the apps running directly on the phone vs the phone having to connect through the manufacturer's implementation of Carplay.
Again, I have simply and clearly suggested that OP prioritize his family over his device. Anything else you've chosen to read into that is you wanting to be angry and refusing to read anything written as a result. Please take a deep breath.
