Possible solution
Possible cause
Issue
Position the vehicle close to the access point with the front of the
vehicle facing the access point direction and remove obstacles if
possible. Other Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microwave and cordless phones may
cause interference.

from the access point, obstruction or high
interference.
Disconnecting after
successful connection.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated windshield, try positioning the
vehicle so that the windshield is not facing the access point. If you
have metallic window tinting but not on the windshield, position the
vehicle to face the access point. If all windows are tinted, you can
open the windows in the direction of the access point if that is feasibl\
e.
There may be an obstruction between
SYNC 3 and the access point.
Poor signal seen by SYNC
3 despite being near a
access point.
Try to remove other obstructions that may impact signal quality such
as opening the garage door.
Please set the network to visible and try again.
