experience by creating stations or favorites.
We recommend you do this at home or
outside of your vehicle.

restart the app afterward, then select "Connect
Mobile Apps" on SYNC 3.
On an iPhone with iOS7+, to force close an

up on the app to close it. Tap the home button
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
find any apps.
