Was 2021 F150 Powerboost now 2022 PB Platinum
I noticed this after my truck recently updated. 4.2.4 I believe.
Seems the infotainment is down on resources.

Having this exact same problem with my 2022 Lariat with the B&O unleashed system. Ever since the last update (sometime in April). 20-30 seconds into outgoing calls the call goes to static and then I can't hear the person on the other end. Crazy interference sound when I put it in reverse and the camera will freeze. Sometimes happens randomly when driving (interference type sound). Newest issue, the entire system will randomly freeze up and I'll get the blue screen of death. Will either fix itself on it's own after awhile or I need to shut off the truck and restart. Took it to Ford. They said it was my phone. Tried other phones. Same issue. Hope there's an update soon! I need to make calls on the road for work. Pulling over to make a call is so 2004.

I find it ironic that the very update that promised to improve our CarPlay experience seems to be the one that caused this problem. My ‘21 platinum now buzzes randomly for a second or so several times a day. Ford support has been useless. Their suggestion was to make sure the truck is getting updated. Pretty sure that’s how we got here! I asked if they have any updates newer than 4.2.4 and they said no, so that is a great suggestion. And they have no other reports of other owners experiencing this!

I encourage everyone to call ford and at least let them know this is a problem.

Here’s hoping someone finds an answer and shares it with the group.

I am still experiencing this issue. Mine happens when I back-up and freezes the back-up camera.
Anyone figured out how to resolve this?

Nope...still happening to me as well.. although I will say it's become slightly better? But still not great.

That is a bummer. I saw there is a 4.3.x updated, I am on 4.2.2.2; checked but there is no updates available for my truck yet.

Another Forum\Thread is saying if you:
1. Have a PB
2. Are on the phone
3 Reverse while on the phone and the backup beeps are sounding

... it will glitch the audio. The resolve is to turn off bluetooth on phone real quick and re-enable. No mention of Android or Apple active. Just standard bluetooth phone call and reverse beeping.

I have a PB but dont update my truck for exactly the reasons stated above... but anyone else having that issue also?

What happens if you guys having Android and Apple issue disabled and re-enabled Bluetooth real quick. Does that help?

(sorry not trying to hijack, just asking similar Q since last update.)

Anyone get a real solution to this yet? Mine seemed to have improved and I went for a week or so with no glitches. However, today was full of glitches. Two updates have apparently not fixed it. Thanks again ford!

Mine seems to be fixed with the latest update. Hopefully they push another update to fix yours. Such an annoying issue. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.

Ive noticed mine is now limited to...running android auto and google maps. Anytime I come to a stop or make a turn it will glitch/static/skip music randomly and then pick back up. I havent noticed it happening while just driving or when I toss it in reverse/initiate the cameras in a while.

This was happening to
Recently...whenever I put my truck into reverse while music is playing (or if I toggle the camera view) my music with freeze and emit a loud buzzing noise for a few seconds, the camera image will be frozen and then it will eventually pick up playing the music and the camera will go live again. I have a 2022 Lariat with the B&O unleashed. Using Android Auto (happens both wired and wireless)...had the truck since last September and it just started doing this within the past week. Curious if anyone else has had it?
Me after new purchase in Oct, 23 lariat, base B/O with 12inch screen. Took it back to dealer, told them there was a matrix like audio error sound when switching sources, call aufio would drop while keeping the phone.
They did an update.
No the glitch sound is gone and calls stay connected, but android audio connect is constantly dropped. Not there yet

Still hoping someone reports that Ford has finally fixed this issue.
I have the symptoms when it would drop calls/ go static whenever making or receiving a call on both my 2023 and now my 2022 (after the latest APIM update)..... not happy I have 2 truck that I can't make or get calls in.....
