Getting out of the car, locking it and unlocking it does not reset it. I suggest you use the logo reset next time. If that doesn't work permanently, contact service.
Alexa was hit or miss for me. ATT signal near my house is weak so I assume that’s the issue. My iPhone is on Verizon which will show full bars on CarPlay while the car shows one. So it’s CarPlay for me 100% of the time.
It has worked that way for a while, but I am saddened to hear that it seems it has not working as well as as it should now. I’ll run some tests on it and see what I can figure out. This would be a really good time for Lucid to chime in. @mcr16
Mine has been solid since a few updates ago. a couple questions… Is your phone on the latest version? Have you rebooted your phone? Do you have a VPN on your phone?
