personal settings and personalize your
experience by creating stations or favorites.

outside of your vehicle.

again, then select the app again to restart it.
After a few seconds, the app should then
appear in SYNC 3's Mobile App's Menu.
Switch Bluetooth off and then on to reset it on
your phone. If you are in your vehicle, SYNC
3 should be able to automatically re-connect
to your phone if you press the "Phone" button.
There is a Bluetooth issue 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 did not switch Bluetooth off.

are running, I restarted them, but I still cannot
