Issue: Cannot default the My Ford Sync system (without Navigation) to Bluetooth audio
Some users are having an issue with when they turn the ignition on their My Ford Sync system reverts to Line-In even though they were using Bluetooth audio when they turn their vehicle off. They would like to have the system revert back to Bluetooth audio instead of having to go through the menus to be able to get to Bluetooth audio or use the voice commands. A Ford customer service representative FordIVTteam actually joined in the conversation and gave the reason why Ford made this change (as it would previously revert to Bluetooth) and the best method to get back to the source they wanted.

I haven't read the entire thread to see if the issue of not defaulting to bluetooth audio is also happening with MFT for the F-150 (vs regular sync like I had in my 2011 I traded in yesterday), but I do know that it has to be possible to have it reconnect and start using bluetooth audio with MFT because my 2015 Explorer with MFT does in fact do this.
Whenever I get back in and restart the Explorer it stays on bluetooth audio and starts playing automatically.....so nice to have this functionality.

I haven't read beyond page 1 of this thread but thought I'd mention that mine works fine. I was listening to bluetooth audio the other day and when I got back in the truck it immediately resumed playing from my phone.

Whoops I still confuse the term Sync with MFT enabled vehicles sometimes. Thanks for being an @$$hole about it though. I'll be sure to show you the same courtesy when you make a mistake.

Perhaps I was a little abrasive, my apologies, I certainly didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings. It's just a very frustrating topic.
