Two month old '13 F150 with Nav, had my and my son's IPhones sync'd up and worked great--now neither will work. I have Sync and bluetooth turned on on the phone, truck will not recognize it? Suggestions?

If selecting pair or sync with phone doesn't work, do a master reset! Then repair with Bluetooth!

Try connecting manually under the Bluetooth menu on the iPhones. Set yours as default. If that don't work, delete both and re-pair.

Go into the settings for sync and delete all synced devices then reconnect them. I had to do this when I got my new truck and it worked.

I have the same problem I have to reset the iPhone every few weeks and then I'm good. You have to hold the power button and home button until it shuts down, then reset it and then you should be good again. Ford said since they are always looking for a signal they get confused but my wife doesn't have to do it with her Subaru so I don't know why they have problems with them.

There is a lot of good info in this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/iphone-5-sync-207637/



However, Follow these steps exactly (props to [MENTION=130156]jgohlke[/MENTION] for writing all this out).

The sequence seems to have a large part of it working or not.

1) Truck - Delete phone from BT device list.
2) Phone - Delete Sync from BT connection list.
3) Phone - Reboot. (Do steps 4 & 5 while you wait for this to finish)
4) Truck - Turn off, pull the key, open the door.
5) Truck - Close the door, restart.
6) Truck/Phone - Pair your phone fresh w/MFT. Let it finish.
7) Phone - Turn BT off.
8) Phone - Turn BT on.
9) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen to reconnect BT.
10) Phone - Go into the BT Profile Settings screen for Sync (little arrow to the right of Sync, in Settings, Bluetooth)
11) Phone - Set Notifications to "On".
12) Phone - Back up a screen and turn BT off again.
13) Phone - Turn BT back on.
14) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen again to reconnect to phone.


I did exactly this to my phone/truck when I was trying to fix my text messaging issues. I haven't had a problem with it since.

Had the same problem. You have to update sync because your I phones just updated. Go to support.ford for instructions must have clean usb

Had this happen to me. Picked up a virus and all three of my blue tooths would not recognize my phone till i changed all my passwords. Then everything went back to normal.
