spepin Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I recently installed a new 8500NEX and had no problems setting up the WiFi connection for both my and my wife’s iPhones. Last week, my phone died and was replaced with a new one. After performing the restore, the 8500 network credentials were still in the phone, but it wouldn’t connect to the HU. It has a check mark next to the 8500 in the network list, so it seems as if it’s connected, but it’s not. I figured it was because of the different MAC address of the new phone so I had it “forget” the network, reset the 8500 password and RE-joined the 8500. Still won’t connect (as far as CarPlay is concerned). I opened the device list in the 8500 and told it to search for new devices and it doesn’t find the new phone no matter what I do. Any suggestions short of a of a factory reset? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangitZIN Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Not sure if you’ve found your answer yet, but this happened to me when I went from an iPhone 6 to a Xs on an 8000. Have you tried deleting the phone profiles off the 8500 and then re-connect? This is what worked for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
