i have a ford fusion...thats the first problem. the second problem is pairing the device via sync, every time i get in the car i have to re-pair regardless if the bluetooth was toggled on or off.
i am aware that this is not an isolated issue, has anyone else experienced this on their GN2 and/or found a solution?
I was under the impression that Ford addressed this issue with an update to ford sync that the dealership can do

Ok, so I'm new to the forum and have a question. I have a 2012 hyundai elantra and a galaxy s3. the problem that I am having is that everytime I get into the car I have to resync the bluetooth. I had a iphone before and never had a problem, I would get in and out of the car and the car would recognise it without me doing anything at all, this is how I know its not a issue with the car. Can someone please help me out with any tips or suggestions on what to do? also, I lurked around this forum for reasons for why to switch from the iphone and it was a great help and I dont miss the iphone at all! oh, also if it matters, I'm in canada and I have done nothing to the phone, its completely stock from telus.
If you turn bluetooth off you might havebto resync it everytime if you leave it on it should auto connect just see if that works

How long are you waiting to see if it will connect? My S3 sometimes takes almost a minute before it automatically connects (2011 Kia). My Atrix used to connect almost instantly.

I'm curious as to how to set up bluetooth audio. My car supports it (Jetta TDI 2010). When I connect with bluetooth I can't seem to figure out how to use it. This is my first android phone and I've never used bluetooth audio before.
Just looking to be pointed in the right direction. Google hasn't been too helpful.

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is?
You can't figure out how to use bluetooth in what way, exactly?

When my phone is connected to my car via bluetooth, I cannot get the phone to stream audio, nor can I get the car to recognize that the phone has A2DP capabilities (I know my car works, I have the bluetooh audio connection and my friend used it with his droid)
I'm just not sure if I'm missing some small important piece to get the audio streaming.

So the phone call bluetooth works but not the music bluetooth?
Go into the bluetooth settings for your phone. And make sure both checkmarks are checked, one for phone and one for audio. You'll do this by editing the bluetooth connection to your car.
Ok yesterday I was streaming Slacker Radio from my Nexus 6 with ford sync in my 2015 f150. I also use a separate headset for phone calls so I go into the sync settings and I un check anything that has to do with the phone and just stream the media. Always worked just great. All the sudden yesterday while I was listening to music it started disconnecting. My Nexus 6 is rooted so I figured it was maybe a Rom issue so I reflashed a different ROM. Right away I reconnected to Ford Sync and instantly have the disconnection problems again. I tried my unrooted Galaxy Tab s and connected it to Ford Sync which in the past work just fine as well and it also has the disconnecting problem. Does Ford put out an update or something and screwed everything up? Just wondering if anyone else out there experiencing this problem.
Today I re sync it with the Nexus 6 and all is working lol so I don't know what was wrong with it.

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems pairing their new HTC 10 to their car. Even better anyone got Ford Sync 2/My Ford Touch?
I can't get my phone to pair with my car for hands free

I had zero problems with pairing to My Ford Touch in my Focus. There are some messages to pay attention to (mostly permissions) and an option to add the 10 as a trusted device.
In the past I also discovered that not allowing automatic phonebook downloads (this is in the MFT menu) helped with the Blue Tooth audio not stuttering.

Both the device and Sync can see each other but it doesn't matter whether I initiate it from the device or car it won't pair. Sync doesn't come up with the pin prompt it just sits there.
Perhaps I'll try a sync master reset if you got it working ok. I thought it might have been a compatibility issue with a new bluetooth radio stack on the htc 10.
If that fails I'll have to bug my dealer about updating my cars software.

Have a '16 Ford and Sync paired right up with my 10.

I tried a Sync master reset twice and rebooted my 10. It's not having any of it.
I tried it in my mum's 2012 Focus and it paired with Sync first time no issues.
Guess I'll be taking my car back to Ford and hope they can fix it with a software update.

Make sure you remove (unpair) sync from your phone & restart it before trying to repair it to sync after the master reset. I also had no problems pairing my 10 to MyFord Touch.
Some cars won't pair unless you're in park also, so make sure you finish pairing it before driving.

Bummer. Yeah, see about a Sync software update. Before you make an appt, you can go to the Ford site and follow the instructions on determining if you need an update (sync my ride, I think it is).
My Ford Touch is running 3.6.2; however, 3.8 is now available. Good luck. Definitely sounds the the issue is your vehicle's software.

I've already applied the October update which seems to be the latest an end user can load manually.
I'm going to try pulling the fuse to force a hard reboot to see if that fixes it. Otherwise it'll be going back to the dealer to see if they can fix it.
I can't understand why my mum's Focus worked on 4 year old software but mine didn't on 6 month old software though. Just computers being fickle I guess.

Fuse didn't make any difference either.
So took it in to Ford this morning, tech comes out and guess what. Pairs first time, haha.
Only thing he did different was have the ignition on (rather than just turning sync on manually in accessory mode).
Stupid computers! Lol.
Fix
I have a possible fix.
My issue was I couldn't pair my HTC 10 with my ford territory 2012 Bluetooth. My phone detected it but it would read "pairing failed" on my car dash screen.
You need to download two apps:
- BlueScan
- BT direct
Use bluescan to identify the car Bluetooth address (a string of letters and numbers)
Then, using BT direct, enter the address manually and hit pair
This worked for me.
Hope it helps
Initially I thought that I had an issue with my Huawei Watch 2 and I posted over in that XDA Forum looking for assistance.
On further investigation, it seems there is an issue with my XL's B.T. connection. Not only does it affect the watch, I also have issues automatically connecting to my Head Units in my vehicles (I have to manually initiate the connection in the BT settings in order for it to connect to whichever car I happen to be driving, my Nexus 6P would automatically connect)
I'm rooted using Magisk and that's it, not using any fancy ROMs.
Any ideas what could possibly be wrong with the Phone's B.T.?
