Issue: Cannot default the My Ford Sync system (without Navigation) to Bluetooth audio

Some users are having an issue with when they turn the ignition on their My Ford Sync system reverts to Line-In even though they were using Bluetooth audio when they turn their vehicle off. They would like to have the system revert back to Bluetooth audio instead of having to go through the menus to be able to get to Bluetooth audio or use the voice commands. A Ford customer service representative FordIVTteam actually joined in the conversation and gave the reason why Ford made this change (as it would previously revert to Bluetooth) and the best method to get back to the source they wanted.

Read the full discussion below.

It's BlackBerry running the show now, IIRC.

I believe you are correct. I know Ford is using a Canadian company.

Maybe we should start a class action lawsuit? Should be obvious by now they have no will to fix the product they sold us.

QNX is the car OS from Blackberry and is the base for Sync 3 - nothing to do with the first two iterations and I highly doubt they work on the past generations for updates/fixes/enhancements. Those would be left to the original teams which was actually a 3rd party of some sort, but it was written on top of Microsoft CE or Car OS. They probably have some residual teams for fixes or slight upgrades over the next few years, but would not be the same team doing the new Sync. Totally different OS and platform.

Bump. Come on Ford. Give us just a solid bug fix update with no new features.

I've given up hope. Between Sync, the gas mileage, and the fact that my F150 keeps getting broken into (three times in six months) I'm shopping for a different truck.

Sync is the most annoying of these, that's saying something since I've gotten pretty good at changing out driver's front windows, and accustomed to getting 15-16mpg highway out of the damned thing.

I get what you're saying about Sync but why do you think your truck is such a target for car burglars? Wouldn't you be in the same boat with a GM or Dodge product?

They leave the Suburban next to it alone, and left my GMC that I had before alone too. No idea why it keeps happening, took the system out after the second one.

Sure seems like it. I've had a terrible experience with Sync and Ford has been absolutely no help. Really disappointed.
