Sync Problems

Have a 10' XLT SuperCab with SYNC, whenever I shut the truck off and get back in its always on a fuzzy radio station anyone else have this problem? I usually keep it synced with my ipod and when I turn off and restart its on another mode. Kinda pisses me off.

Pretty sure this discussed at Syncmyride.com. Have you looked over there? Or posted a question?

IMHO the iPod, iPhone, and BT media route is a PITA when USB flash drives are so cheap.

Buy one, hook it up to USB2, store it in the glove compartment, and you'll eliminate 95% of the Sync issues.

You can also get them with a helluva lot more memory the any of the Apple products.

Only downside to it is that it won't play AA or MP4 files that allow for "bookmarking" of where you left off. If all you listen to is songs or stories under 30min(like OTR), then that's no big deal, but if you like to listen to loooooonnnnnnggggg stories or merged multipart OTR stories, then it can be a bummer.

However, that isn't a sync issue and it may or may not be "your" issue.

If I have had my Sync on my ipod, when I get back in, it defaults to bluetooth....and until I switch it, I am listening to the crappy stock tunes that came on my POS phone.

Try pulling the Sync fuse (No. 13 or 14, memory failing me) for 2-3 minutes.

Kind of like a hard re-boot.
