Default Pair iPhone with two different sync systems

When I paired my iPhone with my 2011 F-150 it gave me a PIN to enter into the phone. Does this prevent a person from pairing the phone with a 2nd Sync system? I could enter a new pin for the new vehicle but I assume the old pin and the old vehicle will no longer be recognized? Anyone know?

it should store both sync numbers in your phone so whatever ford your in it will connect.

you will get a pin number for every bluetooth device you pair it to, but you can pair as many as you want, its just how the bluetooth knows what device is what.

The pin number is only used for the initial key exchange. Once the devices swap keys, the PIN is forgotten about completely. If a re-pair of devices is needed, a new one is generated.

Buick has sync? Or their own system?

It'll work on both...my Droid is paired to both my 2010 F-150 and 2010 Fusion.
