Possible Cause(s)
Issue
Reset the Bluetooth® on
your phone by turning it off and then turning
Bluetooth® back on. If you are in your vehicle, SYNC
should be able to automatic- ally re-connect to yourphone if you press the Phone button.
There is a Bluetooth® bug
on some older versions of the Android operating
system that may cause apps that were found on your
previous vehicle drive to not be found again if you have
not turned off Bluetooth®.
My Android phone is
connected, my app(s) are running, I restarted them,but I still cannot find any apps.
Unplug the USB cable fromthe phone, wait a moment, and plug the USB cable
back in to the phone. After a
few seconds, the app should appear in SYNC's Mobile
Apps Menu. If not, "Force
Close" the application and restart it.
The USB connection to
SYNC may need to be reset.
My iPhone phone is
connected, my app is
running, I restarted the app but I still cannot find it on SYNC.
Try increasing the
Bluetooth® volume of the
device by using the device's volume control buttons
which are most often found on the side of the device.
The Bluetooth® volume on
the phone may be low.
I have an Android phone. I
found and started my media
app on SYNC, but there is no sound or the sound is very low.
Force close or uninstall the
apps you do not want SYNC
to find. If the app has a "Ford SYNC" setting, disable that
setting in the app's settings menu on the phone.
Some Android devices have
a limited number of
Bluetooth® links apps can
use to connect. If you have
more AppLink apps on your phone than the number of
available Bluetooth® links, you will not see all of your
apps listed in SYNC's mobile apps menu.
I can only see some of the
AppLink apps running on my phone listed in SYNC'sMobile Apps Menu.
