CarPlay not working on Apple iPhone 15 PRO MAX iOS 26

I have a FORD F250 2021. I returned for a deployment, and CarPlay does not work in my vehicle. I have tried all the YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram videos I could find. They all actually started to repeat, so I decided to come here. My wife has an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and it connects to CarPlay without any issues. Other than all the social media suggestions, do you have any other suggestions? No, I am not ready to purchase a new device.

The apps mentioned aren't CarPlay apps. For audio from NOT CarPlay apps it is generally best to utilize Bluetooth.

Hopefully this helps.
