Sync button not working

I can help you with that. Can you specify which SYNC prompt you're referring to? Are you referring to the voice command button or one of the other steering wheel controls?

If the voice command button isn't responding, your system could be experiencing a software or hardware fault. PM your VIN and I'll see what other options there are to get the system restored, depending on your version of SYNC.
The voice command button may vary in exact location and appearance, but is signified by this symbol:
The button will respond to a single firm press, followed by an immediate release. Some SYNC newbies might make the mistake of holding down the voice command button for a couple seconds, which doesn't work. Just a single press should get SYNC to prompt you for a voice command.

Just make sure you're waiting until after the tone and SYNC is finished speaking before giving your voice commands. This is a pretty common misstep. Other than that, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the system so far! I'm happy to help.
yup that`s the symbol. The sync started working again maybe it needed a update.does it update from the net on its own?
