I've spent a couple hours looking, searching and I give up.

I know I've seen something about "Soft Rebooting" the Sync system ... HELP!!!!

Twie in the last 24 hours, the system looses it's connection with my phone, searches and can't reconnect. I can not un pair via sync or the phone. The only way to get it back is to do a master reset. This is getting to be a PITB. Of course, Ford pass drops it to, which means you have to re activate the vehicle.

If a soft reset works, that would be sooooooo helpful.

hold the power button and the >> seek button for a few seconds. That should do a "soft reboot" that you're looking for.

If all else fails try rebooting your phone. I've fixed a lot of connections issues that way. Good luck.

I always try to reboot the phone first. Hasn't been working so far.

Out of curiosity, you on the latest software version for Sync? That could throw you a curve ball for sure

You can improve your search by using the site: feature. So in your example, site:ranger5g.com sync soft rebooting

Think my problem was I kept trying to find "soft reboot of the radio" ... then I tried "infotainment system" (that's what it's called on my Harley Tri Glide) ... my last ranger had a cigarette lighter ... and that was high tech ... ?

Only issue mine is having lately is the skip forward button on my steering wheel doesn't skip forward to the next song on my thumb drive, it starts the current song over again. Started yesterday. Only change that's been made is the delete the horn honk function with the plug in I bought. Haven't unhooked the battery yet. The skip forward on the touch screen seems to work ok.
