Wink Changing wich phone syncs first

Bought a 2014 King Ranch in Jan. The salesman helped set a few things up. He set my phone to sync first and my wife's to sync if I am not carrying mine. I would like to swap to have my wife's to be primary and mine secondary. For some reason she gets more calls than I, go figure, and if I am the only one in the truck mine would sync by default.

I am at a loss as to how I may accomplish this task.

Any thoughts.... or maybe a little help from FORD

Thanks in advance for any help.....

PS wich means witch ..... no spell check on title it appears

I would have to be sitting in mine, but in system settings, you should be able to change which phone is "primary" in the advanced settings.

Or if your wife is with you, you can go in the phone under Bluetooth and set your phone to media audio only and set hers to call audio only that way you can play music thru your phone and her phone overrides your when she receives a call. I have it set that way in my girls Honda Accord. I have better music

Easiest way to do this is as follows.

1. unsync both phones from sync / revert the system to factory settings.
2. sync each phone, the last prompt will ask "Set as primary?"
3. set the wifes for for "yes" and your phone as "no"

This was the only way I could figure out how to find the "primary" setting, but your sync version might be different than mine.

Good Luck!

Yup that's what I needed. Should have gotten a sync manual with the truck.

Should have googled it myself......

I thank all
