imfettz Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 After working perfectly for over a year the audio source now frequently changes when starting the vehicle. I always have it set to SiriusXM and it often changes to FM. Is there any way to fix this or is it just a bug with the most recent software update?

NOTMY911 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 ... or is it just a bug with the most recent software update? Sure look-like it as the problem started to be reported shortly after the last up-date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben senise Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 a lot of people have complained about this including myself. it is a PITA. i have found that turning off the audio by pressing the button in the center of the volume control dial before turning off the engine saves the source. what drives me nuts is that when i use android auto if i don't play music, then it starts playing AM static. i have exit AA, confirm, select audio, select source, and so on. it really bites.

Great solution for a $10,000 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben senise Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Great solution for a $10,000 car that's actually not a solution since it doesn't solve the original problem. this is a "workaround." it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldf150king Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ah yes. Media or audio source changes on occasion when starting the vehicle OR in the case of a media player, iPod in my case, Sync will on occasion automatically disconnect the media player when starting the vehicle which requires unplugging and resetting the media device itself then plugging back in where Sync will again recognize it and re-index the device. I've been experiencing this BS in the last 2 F150 trucks I've owned, my 2015 Sync 1 version up to my current 2019 Sync 3. There's no rhyme or reason to it and I just gave up spending countless hours trying to figure it out and the times I've contacted Ford about it over the years they don't have a clue either. I simply came to the conclusion that Sync has certain bugs that either don't rank high enough for Ford to fix or they simply don't know how to fix them. Either way it's very frustrating to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGilmore Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I’m surprised to see this as the only post about this issue. I know my 2017 F-250 changes all the time on start up to AM. My wife’s 2017 Expedition and my son’s 2017 F-250 does this as well. I’ve been updated to latest sync version for months with zero results for a fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have AM station 1 preset set? You might try setting AM station one preset to an actual channel. It'll still switch to AM but you won't get static.
