Annoying software glitches

Have you experienced any annoying software glitches of features? Have you figured out a fix?

When I first got my truck, it would warn me to check the rear seat for a baby every time I shut off the engine. I was able to find a way to disable it , under settings, vehicle, rear occupant alert.

One very annoying feature I can't figure out, if I'm listening to Bluetooth when I turn off the engine and my truck doesn't connect the next time I start it, the radio turns on to loud static. Does anyone know how to prevent this? It's very annoying.

I don't think your phone not connecting after a key cycle has anything to do with a software glitch, just a poor bluetooth signal.

my 2019 would do that. It would default to AM tuning if I didn’t disconnect from Bluetooth audio.

Android Auto is pretty bad about having random connections. The 2020 F-350 Sync 3 did it, the new F-150 Sync 4 does it and sometimes drops wifi. Even the cheap blue tooth to FM cig lighter gadget I use in the 1993 F-350 does it once in a while LOL. BTLE is just like that I think. The back seat thing is a feature, not a bug LOL. Ours did that, a quick run into settings turned it off. No grand babies anymore.

2020 Sync 3 did that if I didn't connect the phone - cable required on Sync 3. Sometimes it would go back to last FM channel, but most times it's land on some sketch signal Spanish AM deal.

Never had any restart issues as described, with i-phone. I have lost BT signal about 3 or 4 times so far with wireless car play.

I had a wifi update and since then it's changed the background from dark to light twice.
Also went into Deep Sleep mode after 14 hours from last drive so I couldn't remote start from my phone ... which pissed me off because it was 40° outside
