What choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?
My complaints with Sync are that it cant hear me if theres any wind noise from an open window or if the A/C is on high, the volume is SO low when using it to make calls that I always have to crank it all the way up just to hear, and it cant seem to understand the most simple names in my phone book (I.E. "Bill")

It's on your phone. call your (in)significant other and turn the volume up during the call (not using Sync)...then try it.

It quit with only 350 miles on the truck (2010 F-150). It is like the vehicle does not have it any more. None of the sync functions respond. I swapped the fuse and it made no difference. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. They supposedly ordered a new module but that was a couple days ago and they still don't have it (glad I didn't leave the truck with them like they suggested). Anyone heard of this kind of issue with sync or have any idea what the cause might be?
Mine vanished as well. 09 FX4. Sync went bye bye, not even the voice command button on the steering wheel worked. Found other posts with this problem and everyone just disconnected the battery terminal and then reconnected it. I did it and everything is back to normal.
Regards.

My SYNC will play music from my iphone randomly but it wont let me pause it or skip to next song. I have to do that manually on my iPhone.
Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I need to sit down with the manual.

thought I would bring this thread up. My 2010 which is 2 months old has had the same problem. Sync worked perfect then all of the sudden yesterday all sync functions dont work. You cant even access the sync menu. Anyone else had this issue?

Try pulling the Sync fuse for 2-3 minutes.
If this doesn't work, contact Sync tech support or the dealer.

I find it much easier to perform an automotive-based CTL-ALT-DEL by pulling the Sync fuse.
