It works for my 2012 Super Duty! I just stopped by the Ford dealership this morning to schedule an appointment to update Sync but when they said it would 170$’s I told not to bother. So glad I found this and you made it a simple process! 🍻

Thanks for this--the procedure works for my 2013 F150 Ecoboost Platinum! Only difference is that I had a different fuse to pull and re-insert (the 15A/#2) instead of the 10A/#32 mentioned in the video. Be sure to refer to your owner's manual and you should be good to go.👍

True Story, fuse 32 only worked with a full Sony/Sync~2? 2015 platinum. It was the Strangest thing prior; new phone connected for calls but not for audio(prior new phone worked for an hour for audio then stopped), pull fuse 32 ~Sync only for barely a minute. If full Sony/Sync2 it does a hard restart with long SYNC start screen and then phone fully connects immediately radio memory, and everything still good didn't even need to re-add phone in bluetooth connection screen. Tried everything else(pairs, removes, re-pairs, fully delete all bluetooth pairings/connections) for hours prior. Good Video.

@fiftyhog692 жыл бұрын
So I have a 17 F150. Mine is actually a push button start. So this method didn't actually work for me, but what I did do was have the truck on then removed the fuse while truck was on. Then I turned it off with fuse out. Put fuse back in, turned on the truck and it worked. Thanks for the video👍🏼.

I know it's way beyond 8 months since you commented. But whenever you hit the push button without your foot on the brake it does the same function as just turning the key. Hope it helps with future issues !

I have a 2015 Ford F150. Recently my sync Has quit working completely. Apparently, I need an update that the dealership can only do and they want to charge me something around $400 to do this update. I thought about pulling the radio and putting in the 10inch Display instead. What do y’all think about it?
@AutomotiveAuthority3 ай бұрын
@williamflanagan5797 If this did not work, try disconnecting your battery cables, touch them together for a few seconds, then connect them back to your battery. This will allow a capacitor to drain and reset the SYNC system. You may have to go through the pairing process with your phone again, but this has been known to help some Ford owners.

Try disconnecting both battery cables from your battery, touching the unhooked battery cables together for a few seconds, then reconnect them to the battery and see if that fixes your bluetooth. disconnecting the cables and touching them together will allow a capacitor to be drained and help do a hard reset.
