That's quite a pain in the *** to have to do that each time you start the car though. Again just this morning I got into another argument with my Sync Bitch who demanded that there was "NO BLUETOOTH AUDIO CONNECTED". I really was calling her bad names until about the 5th time I said BTAUDIO and it finally decided it would work the way it's supposed to. There's been a few times I've considered ditching all this tech crap and going back to those old fashioned little silver shiny records that you stick in that slot on the dash. I think the old timers know them as CEE DEEs.

*insert deez nuts joke here*

why does everyone hate CD's now? I still love them. I only use BT Audio if I feel like listening to Pandora (because all the stations here suck). I'd rather just listen to CD's because I can find the album I want, and stick it in, have gapless playback, and have lossless audio quality. With a music players, you have to make sure it is connected (BT audio, or cable), power it on, fumble through a LONG list of artists, then go to album, then click play. Then you have to fumble with the device's audio settings, and look down at it to fast forward or know what track you are on (with devices that dont display on the radio screen). To me its just overly complicated. But CD's will eventually go the way of the dodo bird.

Well you only get about 10 songs on a regular CD. But a CD's with MP3's on them can hold about 100 songs and sync works pretty well with that, even understands folders. But of course a tiny USB stick, about the size of a dime, can hold 1000 songs.

The USB stick seems like the most solid solution outside of MP3 players and bluetooth. My player automatically boots when it gets power through the USB which is why it works well in my car.

Different story this morning, I get in the car, say BT audio, not only did it immediately recognize my phone but it started playing where I left off when I got out of the car last night. Thats what's f**ked up about this system is some days it works flawlessly and other days it's total pain in the ***.

Yep. All they need to do is update the software to optimize the connections, but they haven't had a update since the MyTouch came out. Typical story of tech life cycles.

I had pandora going via bt, text on the stereo, controls on the stereo, great. Then it stopped connecting. No mobile apps found. Now the only way I can connect to any mobile app is to say bt audio. No text on stereo, no controls on stereo. Reset everything to factory defaults, yeah same ****. Heh.

Unpaired and re-paired phone for the 2nd or 3rd time, and once again it works as it should. I'm sure that will last as long as it takes to get back in the car, and then it'll be back to "no mobile apps found". Love the car, but sync is squirrelly as hell.

Yup. Its amazing that Ford cant get SYNC to work correctly so they go "Hey we cant get SYNC to work so lets create a whole new 100% more complex system (My Ford Touch) and just hope people A. Stop using SYNC so we wont have to spend anymore time trying to fix it or B. Forget how bad SYNC is when they start using MFT".

When it doesn't detect mobile apps, i just restart the phone and have SYNC reconnect to it. much easier then to having to fumble into the master reset. Still, since I switched the Spotify, SYNC does not currently support it on Android devices, so I still have to go the Bluetooth Audio route on that one. Doesn't bother me that much anymore since I have a dash mount and charger for the phone.
