MBUX & Apple CarPlay (ACP)
I am creating another thread as per one of the members request and I continue to have a problem in accesing ACP. The only way that I can access ACP is to set the WiFi on my iPhone to MBUX otherwise it will not connect. However, my wife is able to access automatically when using her iPhone. One of the dealer techinical guys had done something with my iPhone and MBUX. It then worked until I left the car and then reentered. It reverted back to the previous problem where I need to connected to MBUX WiFI in order to access ACP. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like the issue is with your phone. I'm not very familiar with iPhone. Never owned one, but I believe each Wifi connection can be configured to auto-connect like with Android. Wireless ACP and AA both use Wifi to establish the connection which is why you must connect your Wifi. Look for a setting in the specific MBUX connection to enable this. The following may help.

Remember to post back here if that solved your issue or if you figured out another way. This way, others who have a similar problem can benefit.
