Default annoying SYNC when first driving and radio

so when I get in my truck and drive off, listening to whatever (either sat. or jumpdrive) after a min. or 2 the radio will try and sync w/ my phone and will play some ringtone or trac I've got on there, then I have to goto radio input and change it back. can I stop this action?


anyone else?

Are you plugging your phone in or is it only connecting through Bluetooth? If you are plugging it in you have to disable auto play feature in sync.

Same here. It's annoying. It's the very first thing that was played from my pandora when it synced for the first time and now it's the same thing over and over every time I sync the truck. �� lol

Hi RACER X,

tsdahc is correct! If you have autoplay turned on, SYNC will automatically start the audio that is stored on your phone. Which system do you have:http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-t...c-version.html Let me know, and I'll provide the instructions.

Mine did this, yes it's annoying. In MFT turn autoplay off, somewhere in player setting I think. Not sure about Sony.

RACER X,

Select the GEARS icon>SETTINGS>MEDIA PLAYER. You will have the option to turn autoplay off here. The instructions can also be found on page 444 of your manual: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Fo...US_05_2015.pdf

I hope this helps.
