- Master resetting your Sync 3 system can help fix sync 3 issues such as apple carplay not working on your Sync 3 equipped Ford vehicle. Master resetting your sync 3 system is very easy to do and fixes majority of the Sync 3 problems.
Master resetting your Sync 3 system may sound like a complicated task, but in reality it's very easy to do and ensures your Sync 3 system is running without any issues.
My sync 3 system in my Mustang GT would occasionally not detect Apple CarPlay which I personally find annoying, however after master resetting my Sync 3 system, I have resolved the CarPlay issue on my apple CarPlay.

Done all the soft reset, the master reset freezers on the continue button. Lost the Fordpass connection as well, just downloaded the update again, going to give it another try.

Thank you! My Apple CarPlay would randomly stop working and it was driving me insane. This worked perfectly, thanks again!
You’re welcome! I’m glad the tutorial worked and easy to follow
Thank you brother you helped me out on this
Please carry on what you doing helping the people out and hope you achieve all your goals !!🎉
I appreciate your kind words man. Hope the video was easy to follow!
Recently just bought my dream 5.0 apple CarPlay wasn’t working worried i bought it with electrical issue. This fixed everything apple carplay works like a dime thank you
Congrats on your dream car purchase! Glad my video helped CarPlay seems to be pretty common with our cars. I have got tons of videos on s550 mustang and sync that you may enjoy on my channel
man Red5oh! you wrench everyday, even if it is on a touchscreen. i enjoy all your videos. keep up the terrific work 👍
Thank you so much! I try to make all content related to Mustang and sync systems. I am glad you enjoy my videos, really appreciate your support!
Thanks for your expertise because I couldn't get the radio to work. It only worked for three stations but couldn't get anything else to play, All I could get was static even when it was searching for stations. I did a resycn to make the radio stations to play again, and now I am able to get my radio stations again. Thanks again.
I’m so glad the video was helpful and you were able to resolve the issue! I have a lot of sync tutorials on my channels including on how to change themes
Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped you out!
I have a 2019 mustang GT and I’ve been having to set a destination on my phone on google maps before I plug it in. The whole I’m going down the road I have to plug the usb into the slot first and then my phone for CarPlay to work. I think this will solve my issues. 👍
Did that work? I know it solves most car play issues but not always
This was such a great tutorial and it worked well. I was getting so frustrated until I did this step by step. One note, you must reset your phone, aka. shut down and start again.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful. Good point on restarting the phone too
Very interesting mate great video thank you
Thank you for watching! It really helps with sync bugs
Thanks, your video really helped me out!
I’m glad it was helpful! Enjoy
Thank you. Fixed the issue if CarPlay not working in my Ford Ranger.
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful for you
Thank you! Wife's Apple CarPlay stopped working on her Mustang. Master reset solved the issue.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped you fix the issue
Thank you!!! It worked!
You’re welcome glad it was helpful and easy to follow!
Worked!! Thanks bro!
Glad it worked!
Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful
Thank you do much. That worked like a charm.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 🙏🏻
You’re welcome! Hopefully that fixed the car play for you
I’m having this issue with my 16 fiesta st where it says it’s up to sync 3 V3 but the dealership says it’s still on version 1. I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked. Any tips?
What you mean? The system says it’s v3 but dealer disagrees? If the system it’s upgraded to the latest version then idk if dealership is right
100% worked !!! Thank u !!!!!!!
You’re welcome glad it worked!
Hi just watched your video but when trying to do a master reset it just locks up and freezes on the continue button any idea. UK version
Is there a particular issue you’re trying to resolve that you want to master reset? If so try doing a soft reset for your sync
Thank you
I hope it worked!
Just an update on my SYNC3 on a 22 Ford Explorer ST. When plugged into the vehicle from the phone being that of an iPhone, Can no longer get incoming calls
Does the phone show it's actually plugged in have you tried receiving calls?
Thank you brother, I had the same issues as you
Did it get fixed!
@@Red5oh yeah works flawlessly thank you
@@Am1neee that’s great brother. Glad to be of help!
Mine allows iPhone calls through SYNC. But I have never been able to use the iPhone navigation through SYNC on my 2016 Escape. I did replace the USB ports.
You’d need CarPlay for that. I believe earlier sync versions didn’t have that
Thanks…did this, carplay still won’t work with iphone. It’s always been sketch but usually it would start working again after turning truck on/off. Nothing is getting carplay to launch anymore.
Sound stupid but go in to settings then CarPlay then pick your phone and make sure the CarPlay toggle is on. I went couple months like that and was frustrated why CarPlay wouldn’t work, tried different cables and did a master reset until I found I accidentally toggle it off some time lol. Worth looking into it
@@Red5oh thanks man…for reaching out. Yes I has done do that. What I did find is there were 3 sync 3 accounts though.
I’m going to delete all and restock again.
I have a 2018 Ford Focus and when I plugged in my phone via usb original Apple cable it prompted me to agree to Carplay and whatnot but after that it doesn't say it's connected or anything
I would try removing the device and trying again. If not then master reset should work
It was very helpful, i lost apple car play connection in Ford Escape 2020 , after the master rest , everything back to work .
Glad it was helpful! If it happens again you can try soft resetting it too which keeps your settings and phones connected. I have a tutorial on that as well
Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Was 5minutes away from putting my fist through the company car’s screen, stupid technology so damn frustrating
You're welcome! I am hoping the master reset fixed the issue for you.
You take a LONG time to get to the point.
Lol sorry! Hope the video was helpful
So my master reset isn’t resetting I have a 2020 mustang with the same 3.4 update but when I do master reset it just freezes and stays on that screen. What do I do?
Is it causing issues or were you able to resolve it? Depending on what sync issues you’re having try doing a soft reset
I’ve got the same issue. Master Reset just locks and I have to do a soft reset.
My radio comes on when I start the vehicle, even though it was off when I shut it down. It also starts playing an AM station when I shut it down on Sirius. Something is broken.
I have a 2016 mustang gt and I tried updating my sync but it didn't go thru. Does the update only work for 2018 and up?
The update or the master reset? Master reset should work on 2016 mustang gt
@@Red5oh I'm talking about the update. I tried updating my sync 3 and it still says 3.0
@@nirvanavill5513 do you have apple car play with 3.0 sync ?
@@isaiahflores3319 android car play but yeah it's a 3.0 version
Hey there, I tried this on my Mustang but the problem still occurs…
When I select the Reverse Gear and the sound of the parking pilot starts beeping - the sound comes from the instrument cluster and sounds different.
The sound usually comes from the speakers but I can‘t find any solution.
Does anybody experienced this before?
When the car is in gear or if speakers are turned off (volume:0) then it uses the speakers by your instrument cluster. This is basically a a safety feature in case your speakers aren't working you can still get the back up speakers to play the beeps
Will this also help with the Android Auto not connecting?
Yes that should also work
It's there a physical key combo to do a master reset? My POS freezes on the "continue" button trying to do a master reset. Then I have to do a soft rest to get out of that screen and still have all the same issues since soft reset hasn't worked. So damn annoying and this kind of thing shouldn't be happening so often for so many people.
Alternatively, is there a separate way to just "clear cache" maybe? Or is that just what soft rest does anyway?
My problems are the usual laggy system but it's also not remembering several settings. Like I want my display to stay night mode but now it forgets that almost every time I turn off the car, but not every time. Seems like a cache/memory issue but besides doing a master reset, which I'm unable to do far, i have no idea what else to try lol.
There is no physical key combo you can do. Soft reset can help with that as you don't go through the menu.
I would suggest disconnecting the battery for couple minutes. That will also act as a master reset for your Sync system. I hope this helps!
@@Red5oh thanks for the response. Yeah the sift reset wasn't doing anything for me and when I tried the master reset it would freeze... then I'd have to do soft just to get out lol.
Another key combo I found that might be useful for some people is holding down right/forward seek on both dash and steering wheel buttons and you go into diagnostic/test mode.
My issues were constant freezing, lagging and sometimes unresponsive screens and my settings for dark mode display and breadcrumbs in nav kept resetting to default every time I started up. Really frustrating.
What actually fixed it completely so far was I realized there was a minor sync update that I didn't have yet so I did a thumbdrive update and it's been working perfectly every since. Zero of the old problems.
My old version: 3.4.22251
New version that fixed everything: 3.4.23188
@@scilynt3997 I’m glad the new update fixed the issues for you! I always try to make sure it’s up to date. I have had issues that after updating were fixed! Currently I randomly get black screen. I think there’s an update out there so I’ll do that first as well. Hopefully that fixes it
I found an interesting issue. The sync 3 app launches for multiple iPhones old and newer 6s and 12. However the XR doesn’t recognize the Sync app. And apple carplay never loads with one phone. Is it worth resetting? I know the problematic iPhone is correctly configured.
I would try master resetting as I had the same problem where my phone won’t open the CarPlay but other phones would open it. Doing a master reset helped me fix it
@@Red5oh Thanks buddy! The master reset worked on the XR model.
@@mbwell I am glad I was able to help!
Mine won’t master reset right when I turn the car off and back on everything is back to before the reset
Does the sync screen turn off and restart when you do the master reset?
Does master reset revert sync updates or leave it at current version?
It leaves it at the current version just resets the setting so if you’re having occasional issues it should resolve it
Ok. I have 2016 Lincoln. Just updated it to sync 3.2*** version. Been having issues updating navigation. Download from ford/Lincoln navigation provider. But having no luck. One thing I haven’t done since updating is a master reset. I’ll give that a shot
would this work with backup rear camera guidelines not showing?
It should help it but there’s also settings to turn it on or off. I would double check there first to make sure it’s not accidentally off
@@Red5oh the only option is “rear park aid” to turn off or on. And I tried this one as well but no luck
@@Smigo I would try the master reset then. It tends to fix stuff like this. You can try soft reset too if you don’t want your setting to be reset. I have a video on how to soft reset too.
@@Red5oh I just tried the master reset, didn’t fix the issue but I contacted the dealership and I’ll taking it in for a possible replacement or something else.
My 2015 Ford Focus won’t give me an option to even choose sync just the radio 😢
Yeah I think ford didn’t have the option for the sync 3 back then
Mine still wont work music playing but no sound but when i go to reg radio it works help ? Lol
I would remove your phone from the devices and try again assuming you mean bluetooth music. That should fix any connection issues causing the sound to not play from your music but radio works, meaning the speakers/sync 3 is fine
When i try to update my truck it takes hours and at the end a message appears and says something about the software space, has that happen to someone ?
How much space does the usb have?
2017 explorer here, 3 days sync 3 stopped responding to my phones, I did a master reset and its the same thing, shows on the phone that its connected but doesnt show the vehicle data(Miles,Gas Level,Oil Status etc). I have 2 cellphones and all of a sudden it stopped syncing with either phone
It happened after the master reset? Or did master reset fix it?
the master reset didnt fix it
@@Mattea68 I have the same issue on my 2017 explorer. Were you able to find a fix?
@@artipraneel no
I don’t know why the screen frozen when I doing the master reset! Any way can reload sync?
Try disconnecting the battery
I have a 2020 Ranger and I just did a master reset and the screen is black even after letting the truck run for about 15 minutes. Any ideas?
I would turn off the car and wait 10-15 mins. That usually fixed it. Worst case try unplugging the battery for few minutes
@@Red5oh after waiting about a half hour I finally just pulled the fuss and that fixed it but Thanks for the advice. I know not to do that again lol.
Did this permanently fix your CarPlay not detecting issue? Mine is on 3.4 as well and its so annoying not detecting CarPlay most of the time
Yes that fixed it. Occasionally if I have issues I’d try to delete my phone from car play and add it bsck
@@Red5oh master reset didn’t work but downloading to the latest 3.4 version just fixed it finally
I can’t find a video about black screen sync 3 on a mustang
It’s the one titled “sync 3.4 issues” I don’t think it will let me link it here
If I do a master reset, will I have to reinstall CarPlay?
Nope CarPlay will be there
I exactly have the same issue as you
Were you able to get it fixed with master reset?
Stuck on the continue screen after hitting continue… any info on that I’m at 89K miles
It should go through. I’ve done it multiple times with no issues
Cant get Sirius to work.... they've sent the signal numerous times and i just have the 2 channels... preview and 0... might try this and see....
Did the master reset work?
@@Red5oh nope battery disconnected… nothings worked
@@tw8644 try the soft reset. Even though master should be better but maybe soft reset will do the trick. I have a video on that
My screen is black but turns back on over time. What do I do
Try disconnecting the battery it usually helps reset it
I’m so frustrated with sync 3 cause I can’t even master reset mine I hit the okay and it just freezes every time
Try disconnecting the battery and see if that fixes it
@@Red5oh That was the only thing that worked for me and I had that problem twice
If you have non oem HUD then there is a bug due to which you cannot hear the caller,just remove the tlink from navi application. This is the fix for non OEM sterio….👍👍
Thank you for sharing a pretty useful tip!
I am having to master reset about every month. Should I take my car to ford???
What is the issue you are experiencing that is causing you to master reset? Also, is the car under warranty? If it is under warranty and issue is easy to replicate then I would take it to the dealership and have it done for free
Could also be a dirty connection with the iPhone cable.
Always check the noninvasive stuff first
P.s
Also my system updates automatically via Wi-Fi, and you could do diagnostic test on it. If that stuff fails then I also recommend doing a reset.
I tried with another phone and same phone when I was having the issue and it worked lol. So not sure if it was just my phone. But good point on cleaning the connectors and cable
Did this permanently fix the problem?
Yup haven’t had any issues really
My Sync 3 does not turn black and reboot after Master Reset.. Stays on the same page :(
Try performing the soft reset. Depending on what issue you’re having it may solve the problem
My 2016 mustang screen flashes on and off
Master reset should fix that
What if my master rest button isn’t working?
You can try soft resetting the system. I have a video on that as well. That usually does the trick depending what issues you are having
I did this and now it won’t hook to my phone automatically like it use to. Now I have to manually connect my phone every time I restart my truck.
Was it connecting before? I would remove it turn off the car and try again
Bro i did the same steps you did , but now every time i turn the car off then turn it back again it’s goes to the whole entire thing in this clip 4:55 why I need help please ....
Stuck into Master Reset loop 😂
Apparently the new update does that. Mine was doing it too but I never paid attention until you pointed that it’s an issue lol. I have to try master reset
Mine freezes when i click on continue for master reset
Try turning off the car then trying again. It can take a bit time sometimes to start the reset
I did lol, im gonna try to disconnect the battery for a few minutes
I accidentally deleted apple carplay from my car, how can I get it back please help
How’d you delete it? Not sure if there’s way to delete car play altogether. Try unplugging the battery
@@Red5oh There are two options to deactivate and delete, and I pressed the delete. I thought it would delete my phone, and then I would be able to add it again, but the Apple CarPlay icon was deleted.
@@sahirrafayl738 I’m having the same problem. I hope he does a video on it
I’m in a 2017 when I master reset it will not even reboot
What are you trying to do master reset for? You can try soft reset. Depending on the issue it might help
@@Red5oh I could actively move to the different menus like settings, music and climate control but none of the buttons would work within them. Stuck on SiriusXM I tried the key cycle 3 times with no luck. Finally got the master reset to reboot the system then had to do a 4th key cycle to fix the issue. I got it figured out tho.
Mine freezes when I use master reset
Try doing soft reset that might help!
What if my usb is not charging
I’d try a different usb cable or something first. Sync shouldn’t really have an effect on usb port but it’s worth master resetting since it takes only few mins. When my CarPlay wouldn’t work it would still charge so idk 100%
I was not prompted to do anything after reset like you did. What does that mean?
What do you mean? Like it freezes up or it’s as if you never pressed anything
@@Red5oh not freezing up just no mention of Apple car play or anything
I deleted Apple car play.. before this. I was hoping it would come back after reset.
@@user-qh1qu9cr7f how duly even manage to delete car play
I did the master reset, screen went black but never came back. The radio is on, I can adjust the volume but not the tuner. Now I have a black screen and nothing works😮
Try leaving the car locked for a bit and go back. It should help out. Worst case unplug the battery couple mins. Let me know if that helps
@@Red5oh nothing helped. Left it locked, disconnected the battery, replaced the fuse. Hopeless. It’s at the mechanic shop now
@@richtoledo9899 I hope it is fixed soon. That’s very odd that it would completely die off without notice.
I tried master resetting sync on my mustang and the screen freezes up
Try doing a soft reset. That usually helps with most of the issues without resetting anything

Lol!
First!! Yessss!
Almost haha! Thanks for watching
I did this and now my screen won’t turn back on 🙃
Did it get fixed or is it still stuck?
Did this and my CarPlay is completely gone??????
Go to setting and activate it. If your car originally comes with CarPlay then you should still have access
Fix still working?
It does. Are you having CarPlay issues?
@@Red5oh I was able to update the software versions and so far so good. Wireless updates weren’t working so went the usb route.

Great to hear! Hopefully it’s fixed now
My screen just goes black randomly
Have you tried the master reset? That should help you
how did you get apple car play?
Mustangs have CarPlay since 2017. Which trim do you have?
@@Red5oh 2019 mustang Gt premium
@@Red5oh can’t seem to find it
@@joelhernandez4863 if you have the sync 3 then when you connect your iPhone it should detect it. Mine sometimes doesn’t detect so try using a different iPhone just to be sure
Still didn’t work
Does it work with other phones but only your phone isn’t connecting?
Video doesn't start until 2:12
Thanks!
Did the reset and still doesn’t work. I’m cursed. Lol
Have you tried using a different phone?
@@Red5oh It works on my wife's Android every time, but for some reason it won't with my iPhone. I even bought an apple charge cable from an apple store to see if that would fix the issue and it did not.

Thank you sir!
didnt do anything for me sadly
upgraded my hub and updated to latest sync software and still no carplay
Might sound stupid, but I know it's happened to me before. Go to settings and car play and make sure the phone you're connecting has car play turned on. If turned off it won't launch car play with that specific phone.
@@Red5oh not stupid at all. I don’t really see anything to do with CarPlay in my phone other than in general settings and that’s for wireless CarPlay detection not wired
@@Red5oh and I have done the screen time thing as well
Mines didn’t work 🥲
Check settings and go to CarPlay setting and make sure your specific phone has car play toggled on. I know it sounds pretty simple but I have had that issue before
