Wonderful that they have to warn you that everyone will be stuck inside once the update starts. I would have hated to be the poor bastard that found out the hard way.
No - this update is only for 25 V's with the Google infotainment system. I imagine it applies to regular model CT5's as well.
I have read the next refresh on the truck lines is dropping the google based system. That will be a very short lived iteration if so. I have been in a Super Duty truck for about 14 months. Decided to try something different. I would go back to my trusted GM as they look so much better, but the damn infotainment systems are infuriating. Very buggy. Everything in my Ford works great, I have not had any issues. Intuitive and reliable. Switching between Android auto and the truck system is seamless. The GM screens are sexier for sure, but I am not a fan of the google system and am very glad my Blackwing does not have that junk.
My guess is that's caused by slight disconnects of your cable (assuming it's plugged in?) Make sure you have a good quality cable in condition. Cables are the cause of most carplay/android auto issues.
The wireless CarPlay depends upon the WiFI Hotspot feature in the car and uses WiFi to send data for the image projection. It's possible that connectivity between your phone and the car is flakey - are you keeping it on the charging pad?
