Not me. Every once in a while, I do need to turn off my truck, open a door so the computer turns of the Navi and then restart the truck again to get the radio and Navi to boot correctly.

The idea is that the Navi is a little computer running Microsoft software and occasionally it screws up, just like PCs.

There is an update for your sync system, gotta take it to the dealer to get it flashed or know someone with a VCM and IDS.

  1. Verify if a SYNC update is available. Go to the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and from the OASIS tab select the SYNC button. Scroll to the bottom of the page, under software update actions, click on the View Latest Software hyper link located next to the standard selection. A software update is identified when there is no check box next to the Customer Interface Processor (CIP)
  2. Are software updates available?
    1. No - this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 415-00 for normal diagnosis.
    2. Yes - ensure that the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release is at 85.01 or higher, then close the IDS software and proceeded to Step 3.
  3. Reprogram the APIM. To perform the reprogram it will be necessary to follow the online version of the WSM, Section 418-01, for APIM - Standard programming.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage
IMPORTANT: Warranty/ESP coverage limits/policies/prior approvals are not altered by a TSB. Warranty/ESP coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part and verified using the OASIS part coverage tool.

Are you sure? It might just be your teeth chattering so bad you can't hear the radio. Ok I have nothing to add.

I got the exact same thing when it was cold one morning. No sound at all when it was about -5F. Drove it to my dealership, had someone follow me to Ford to drop it off and sure enough when I go out to start it to drive it over, the sound worked again. It has yet to happen again despite numerous -0F mornings. They checked for DTC's, software updates, and bulletins/SSMs and nothing. We just chalked it up to an intermittent occurrence.
