The audio between the devices are not synced (funny it's called Ford Sync).
If you disable Bluetooth and connect through the USB cable, same thing.

It does work if you use CarPlay but CarPlay is absolutely horrible. There are basically no settings and you have to deal with the the text/phone situation and the maps when using an app.
I originally wanted to disabled CarPlay completely and just wanted to use the Bluetooth or USB but the lag is horrible.
You can try it by watching a YouTube video. The video will be able 1-2 seconds faster than the audio coming out of the speakers.

I tested this with my wife's '17 Explorer with a different phone, same thing.
Is everyone just dealing with this?
I came from a '14 Mustang which had an older Ford Sync I believe but never had this problem. Using the same phone.

Can't say I've ever sat in my truck and watched a video while sync'd to BT, but I'll give it a shot and see if I have any lag.
