How To Restart Ford's SYNC Media System
In today's video I show you how to reboot/restart Ford's SYNC media system.
Use these steps when your bluetooth is constantly disconnecting or if you have other SYNC related issues.
I spent a lot of time digging around in the settings for the restart button when I had a issue so I hope this saves you guys some time and frustration.
Let me know in the comments if this helped and any issues you've had with SYNC.

    Does anyone know why the Ford Focus 2014 SE SYNC media connects to my Pixel 7 automatically but does not play the audio unless I manually go through the prompts and select the phone in the media menu? Can I default to Bluetooth audio when I turn my car on?

    That's weird, the longest mine has ever taken was maybe 3 minutes but not 30. Perhaps try again and see if it happens again and If it does try disconnecting the battery to rest the whole system and see where that gets you. Worst case take it to the dealership.

    I think your system is stuck on itself, if the master reset didn't work nor the other reboots. The last option is to disconnect the battery and then reconnect if for a clean restart. Anything after that may require dealer assistance as they can talk to the computer.

    I had the same problem once, but it corrected itself after I turned the car off for awhile. If nothing has worked the dealer might be the only option left unfortunately. There might be an update or something that has gone wrong.

    this helped me : To perform a Reboot, press and hold the Seek Up (>>) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power button. Release both buttons after 5 seconds. Please allow a few minutes for the reboot to complete. After a few minutes has passed you can resume using the SYNC system. Note: Feature availability depends on your vehicle´s options

    If you have an 08-12 Ford Escape and you're here because your sync keeps disconnecting the Bluetooth media: The Sync fuse is the 3rd fuse moving from left to right on the bottom row of the fuse box in your passenger floorboard/console area. Remove it while your vehicle is running, turn it off and put the fuse back in, then start your vehicle and it should be good to go.
