What is Lucid_AP_XXXX

[NLH]

When I look at my iPhones Wi-Fi settings, I see sometimes this: Lucid_AP_XXXX
If it has a checkmark, does that mean that my car is connected to my phone via Wi- Fi?
If it does have a checkmark, shouldn’t the Wi-Fi toggle in the settings be in the ON position? Sometimes I think it is not in the on position and I still have the LUCID_AP_XXXX checked off on my phone in the WiFi settings.

This is the automatic link for sending CarPlay data to the car. It shows wifi as disabled because you can’t connect to a regular wifi network at the same time CarPlay is active.

Via WIFI? So should my WIFI toggle in settings be ON?

Yes, CarPlay uses both Bluetooth and WiFi. You don’t need to turn WiFi on for it, it will connect via Bluetooth first and then your phone will turn WiFi on for you (just for that).

It will look, in the control center, like wifi is off. It isn’t though; it’s in use by CarPlay. You cannot both be on CarPlay and use WiFi on your phone at the same time.
