I had the MyFordTouch in our Explorer and liked the way it would automatically start playing the audio from the phone while Bluetooth was connected. You could be listening to FM/Sirius and hit play on your phone and it would switch the source instantly. Once the song/video ended on the phone, it would switch right back to your original source.

Now, with Sync 3, if I get a text message with an 8 second video, I have to go and manually select Bluetooth Audio on Sync 3. Then when video is over, go back and select FM/Sirius on Sync 3. The most annoying part is when you push play on the video and don't select Bluetooth on Sync 3, you get no audio. None on your phone, because it's sending it over Bluetooth and none on the stereo.

Anyone find this annoying too? Maybe there is a place to change this setting?

Of course, I always pull over when on my phone...

 

Anyone else frustrated by this or is it just me?

 

Hi stdr04,

I've done some research, and there isn't a setting that automatically plays the audio from the phone. Please share your feedback on our Social site: Social.Ford.com It's the best place to get your voice heard!
