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.

Yeah that would be my concern as well. And I can't imagine the dealer would see kindly that you did that. I'd just wait it out.

I'm not going to be dramatic and say I'll never buy Ford again because I genuinely love my truck. This Sync stuff will make me consider other brands though instead of just buying another F-series truck like I thought I would do originally. Hopefully they'll just integrate that Apple/Android car systems in the future and just be done with it.

You're right - my sarcastic comment was an expression of my frustration with Ford for not just fixing this. I hope that it's resolved soon for the many people waiting for the fix.

Trying to update my truck and ford is saying I have the most current version at 1.4.1 which is the original version installed when the truck was built in 2013... Are there different versions for different trucks? I have a 13' STX.
Kind of, I'd imagine you have the most basic system in your truck with the STX. Either way, what issue do you have?
