Arrow Sync 3 home screen

Greetings all. I tried a search, but did not find any results, so hoping someone has some insight here.

My question: Is it possible to change the home screen -- 'Add Device' tab/section to something else?? To eliminate the obvious, but I do not sync my smart phone with radio...

As I recall, my 2012 SuperDuty with Navigation, had a similar feature. But, I was able to change it to an equalizer. Which was a nice change from the default.


thanks,
biz

Hit the Audio button then pick a source. Your screen will revert to your choice.

Do you mean the "Add Device button"?? Because when I hit the Audio button, I get the radio/satellite etc stations.

Source??

After you hit the audio button, hit the source button and then pick the media. Whatever you pick, that will be your screen unless you hit the home button. Also, the add a device screen is for when you add a phone, iPod, iPad, or some other type of compatible media/audio only player. If you add a device and it`s connected via USB or Bluetooth, it will be under the source button that I mentioned earlier.

I hope this help you out.

Ok...so as I understand this, it is NOT possible to change the 'Add Device' tab/section to something else?? Other than a sync/connected phone. NOT cool of FORD to take a nice interactive Sync 3 experience and go two steps back. LOL!!

Again, my 2012 F250, could replace that with an equalizer setup. It was better than seeing an "Add Device" all the time. Oh well...

Quite a few things changed when Ford went to SYNC 3 compared to MFT and one feature that I miss most was the ability to changed the splash screen.
