phone->bluetooth->media input
I recently started listening to some podcasts through my android phone. If I connect through the USB port on the truck, it works fine, if a bit clunky.
The phone (Droid RAZR MAXX HD on Kit Kat), it shows sync is set for both "phone audio" as well as "Media audio". However, I have not found a way to tell the truck to actually use the BT media input.
My F-150 has plain vanilla sync. Is this even possible?

YW
that's what we're here for, but your sales rep should have showed you how to do that.

Be careful how you have the equalizer on the phone set. On my iPhone I had bass boost on in the phone's equalizer because I'd been listening via headphones. Unfortunately the sound via the truck's speakers was poor. Recently I played around with the equalizer on the phone and found that turning it off made a huge difference. Night and day.
I don't know if that applies to a Droid, but .....

What I have noticed is that I think the battery saver app seems to cause skips/hiccups in the playback. THAT is really annoying.

I was sitting in the truck, waiting on my wife, listening to music streaming via bluetooth and then tethered my iPad to my iPhone. SKIP CITY! Whenever I hit send on a post to FTE or replied to an email I was reminded of Don McLean - The Day The Music Died.

'Droids do have EQs but not all of them; some of them you need an app to get some EQ functions.
But I do notice that my droid sometimes skips or "lags" I am not sure why; I have the S6 Edge +; but since getting my '16 I don't use it much now since I use the on board navigation instead.
I've been trying to get Sync to work with the Ford owner app on my 'droid, it doesn't work and the same for Glympse... doesn't want to work either but mind you this is the '16 F150 Sync3

I'd really like to figure out what the intro chords are. I'm not good enough to hear it though.

Scratch the battery saver. Was listening through BT on my Tacoma, and it did not skip/hiccup at all; even with the battery saver turned on. It's something with the BT on the F-150 that's doing it.

It has even lost connection with the phone a time or two while driving.
