So I went on a mission today! I wanted to finally fix this annoying android auto bluetooth phone call bug that i had been having with ford sync 3. the issue is that i can not accept calls from people. they could not hear me and i could not hear them. i would then have to call them back and it was supper annoying. the bug only popped up with sync 3 when plugged in to android auto. as it turns out the fix for this bug was extremely simple. the car i am using is a 2016 ford focus st and a pixel 4 xl running android 11.

@alloyromania9592 2 года назад

Thx for your explained video. The issue is that after this change, everything well, but my Mondeo return again on the same issue, have any idea what can be the problem ?

@richardkenworthy9312 2 года назад

Thanks so much, I thought I was going to have to bring my truck to the dealership bit it was a quick and easy fix.

@freddye7442 2 года назад

Years with this issue nos second question , you have the delay on RU-vid with the audio and the video that you are seeing? Lol another issue that I've been trying to solve since year's,

@craigs4246 Год назад

Thanks for the fix bro. Worked great!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@jodyschoolderman8568 3 года назад

Mate you are a bloody legend, been driving my f250 for 6 months with this issue. No one here in Australia could fix it. Thanks so much

@porterhouse0 Год назад

The ringtone change never sticks though. I'll change it and next day the ringtone is back to Ford sync ringtone.

@goldencalfmedia Год назад

Thank you for the fix. This was driving me insane. I began not answering and just calling back, frustrated and annoyed. Great video! To the point, fillers and worked.

@RonOnThePond Год назад

Question: Although this works for me (thank you!), it does not stick. Is it necessary to do this every time I drive, or is there some way to make my Ford Escape / Sync 3 / Pixel 5 / Android 13 agree to remember this setting from one time to the next?

OMG, I love you so much!!! I've dealt with this for YEARS. So frustrating, especially when trying to use Google navigation. I've just been turning the Bluetooth off on the phone for incoming calls, but then the phone is no longer hands free. I can't wait to try this.

@JDMyers351 Год назад

Lifesaver!! This is so dumb (sync)!! I've been fighting it since 2016. Intermittently it would work, but mostly I'd get the dead call. Initial tests are good, so I hope it becomes a nonissue going forward. Thank you!

@briananderson2249 Год назад

@Strunz0 3 года назад

Not an Android Auto issue, but when I start my truck Sync connects to my phone, can take phone calls and everything but I have to go into connect Bluetooth audio manually to play music EVERY time I start my truck. Very frustrating. My phone says it's set up for Phone, Audio, Messages, and Contacts. Anything I'm missing for this to happen automatically?

@grants169 3 года назад

HELP! In sync 3.4 I disabled android auto and the menu option for android auto isn't there anymore, how do I turn it back on? There's literally no android auto icon in the settings menu.

@CloudyAce 3 года назад

I've been using this fix for about a year, but it keeps going back to ringtone 1. I'm going to update to sync 3.4 after work, does that make the ringtone setting stay, or does it still keep going back?

@choltzapple Год назад

It goes back to ringtone 1 anytime you start the car with the phone plugged in already. If we could get a fix to THAT I would be happy.

@briang2853 3 года назад

Also disabled Google voice driving mode under settings. That and the ring tone were both battling for the control I guess. Disabling them both is what made it work.

I subscribed! I will test it out. My issue is. 1. When I tap on the button to tell sync to call someone it gives me a error and can't hear me. 2. When I call someone I hear them loud and clear. They don't hear me though. Thanks for all you do. Edit to add I have a 2016 Ford Focus.

@josephwaldoch9604 2 года назад

You are a complete life save, I don't how many times I have done a master reset and the I had to go through the dauntless task of reactivating my ford app and what have you. A simple stupid setting, and ford won't tell you that because you have to pay 150 to upgrade the software. Which in turn still didn't fix the bug issue. I will share this video

@titou9440 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for the trick. Will try on my Sync 3.0 if I can. Regarding the bug/issue, I think this is related with how Sync 3 handles the audio, between Android Auto and Bluetooth. Even if you pick up from Android Auto, Sync 3 own bluetooth takes the lead on audio ! I've found this with an experiment : using my phone with Android Auto (Waze), made a Skype call with family. No sound was audible. Then my fiancée decided to switch to phone on Sync3 - then we were then able to ear family !

@VoteRepublicanSaveAmerica 3 месяца назад

DUDE! I had that same problem on my 2019 Ford Truck. After EVERY FREAKING PHONE UPDATE IT WILL DEFAULT BACK TO SYCN RINGTONE. You are correct, just change it to PHONE RING TONE - DONE! But, you don't have to disconnect the phone (at least I don't). HOW FREAKING WILD IS THIS? You would think that by the number of years with this problem they would fix it. NOPE!

@MrWebbie21 2 года назад

On my SYNC it was not the ringtone but the privacy setting button on the radio button selection. I still give you a million thanks and a like because your video gave me all the perfect steps and guides to accidentally press the privacy button and now everything works like brand spankin new

@TechnationXyz 2 года назад

Interesting it was that button instead. Glad it all worked out for you though in the end!

I have this issue using the wireless android audio dongle. When the wireless connects it's auto defaults to ford's standard ringtone 1. Even after I set it as the "phone ringtone" I've sat there and watched it default back to "ringtone 1" when the wireless connects. Anyone have this issue or a way for a fix? If I'm fast enough I push "phone ringtone" again as soon as I see it default back to "ringtone 1" but that's like 50% not quick enough.
