If you do not see that and you are connected with a USB cable try a different USB cable or you may have you phone set to charge only when connected to the USB cable and the truck. if it is when its connected to the cable pull down from the top of the phone like you are getting into settings, and you will see USB connection options. you'll want to allow this to be able to read media/photos. I think its the top option under USB options. I hope this helps.

I have 7 usb cables in my hand right now (mostly different). 6 of them are (were) still in the packaging.

Out of the 7 cables, 1 worked perfectly, the UI lit up and everything is happy.

I plugged one of them in and it looked like its going to work, but it started switching, re-synching and then the Truck started saying the device was incompatible.

I will say, the cable thats working, looks like its a thicker gauge, so maybe the wires are better.

Moving forward, how does one tell if its the right kind of cable?

Now, I know a FRIEND who has an iPhone who had similar issues charging his phone. he had 1 cable that would charge, but 4 others that wouldnt.

but the 4 that wouldnt, worked just fine in his wife's iPhone.


there has to be something to test these things to say, this is a better cable then the others.

Not an issue with what the OP provided, but with the software as Ford designed it. I have an iPhone running iOS 10. Since the update yesterday, Sync now automatically raises my phone ringer to max as soon as it connects. That creates a problem later when I'm out of my truck and my phone starts blasting the ringer at an inopportune time. It NEVER did this while on Sync 1.0. And I hate it. Wish there was a way to go back to 1.0. Having CP is not worth it to me.

I've read that others were having this same issue before 2.2, but not me. Seems the others have solved this by disabling the iPhone sounds setting where you adjust the ring volume with the side buttons. I did that too just to make it bearable, this this is a sloppy workaround, as it prevents me from using the side buttons to actually adjust the volume when I really want to (which is several times a day).

Is there a way to go back to 1.0? Contrary to others' experiences, it worked pretty flawless for me. I just got caught up in all this CP stuff. Kicking myself for it now.

- Sync3 v 2.2 installed
- Android Auto installed on the phone.
- Android Auto preferences set to I (vs 0)

On the mobile Apps, I see Spotify BUT NOTHING else.

so what am I missing? how do I get Google maps to show up on the UI?

I am sure its something stupid, but man its eluding me.

How often do you change your ring volume?
