Default Bluetooth Connection

I am having a problem with my Bluetooth connection dropping every time that I get out of wifi range from my house. It kicks the audio over to FM radio. The Bluetooth eventually reconnects automatically, but I have to change the audio source back to Bluetooth. Note that I set up the My Ford Touch system to connect to my home wifi when I first brought it home (I can't even remember why it needs wifi).

Anyone else having this issue?

I haven't seen that issue, but if the Wifi is causing problems, I would stop having MFT connect to your home wifi. There is no need to do that. Connecting MFT to Wifi won't do anything other than creating a hot spot for passengers, but that's useless if you are using home wifi.

Hi kipwalk,

ODucksFan is correct about the Wi-Fi feature. It's designed to have other devices connect to it. It's like a wireless router. Have you tried disconnecting SYNC from your home Wi-Fi? If it happens when you disable the Wi-Fi, I'd suggest trying a master reset: http://owner.ford.com/sync-technolog...c-myford-touch

I hope this helps. Keep me posted.

Hell I wish there was a way that you could set up to not connect to your phone until you push a button. I don't like the fact that it will connect as soon as you start the truck. For this reason I don't sync my phone to the truck no more. My Bluetooth headset is just find. I really don't need the truck connected to my phone at all times.

I was assuming that it would download updates or something over wifi. Since this is not the case, I turned off the wifi. Problem solved. Thanks for the help guys.

I had a problem where I could get Phone on BT but no Media Audio. Searched the net... Got discussed.

2015 F150 w/ Sync touch.

Phone is a GS4 Active The phone would sync, but no music media. Tried a friends GS5.....Same thing....Finally took it to the dealer after a LOT of looking around for the fix.
Customer service had a Samsung of some sort also..... No go.....Same thing.... Phone, but no BT media audio.

Reboot the truck. Remove the Neg. Battery terminal for 15min. Remove any known BT hook ups that exist in the phone.

Battery cable hooked back up and it's all just like starting brand new Truck seeks the phone, phone hooks to truck.

One thing I did note...... Beside each phone that is logged into the truck There are little Icon's a Phone and a Music note.

Withe the problem the phone was Light Green and Music note Gray....After fix.....Both Light Green.

If it happens again...Now I can fix in the driveway in 20min.
