    I can’t even get sync media to come up. Just switches back to radio every time. I’m considering ripping it out of the dash and running over it a few times and posting it on CZcams

      I had the same issue a few weeks ago, I was about to disconnect the battery in hopes to reset it but after the car was turned off for a few hours it came back to life. Try that if not just disconnect the battery and see if that works which it should.

    I got all the way to sync. Reboot and my car doesn't have it. My Media button still won't work. I have pulled the fuses, looked at them all. Plug them all back in. I have disconnected the battery. I have unpaired it in my settings on my phone. And I did all of your tricks in this video, multiple times still nothing... I'm so over this car. It's been happening for 4 years. This video was extremely helpful. I didn't even know there was a master reset.

      Might be a technical error in the parts or computer of the system if it has happened for this long. If having sync or smart connection is a must you could evaluate the idea of replacing the car all together.

    • @brandonbelanger_Official
      @brandonbelanger_Official  Před 2 lety

      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.

    • @brandonbelanger_Official

      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 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

    @Superdudehatesmilk Před rokem +4

    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.
