Today every time I got in my Lariat and started the engine, Sync 3 would show that it is calling my own phone when connected. Anyone else seen that?

It could be your future self calling to warn you of a future event - maybe a financial gain or sowmthing devastating; you should answer.

I know this is almost a year old but mine was doing the same thing. After researching it I found the culprit. At least for me that is.

The Wyze camera app.

There's a major bug that goes way back to late 2018 that causes the phone to dial itself when it connects to your car's bluetooth system. It's been reported to the Dev's but after two years they still have not fixed it. The only way I was able to get this to stop happening was revoke the Wyze app permissions in Android.

When my wife calls me Sync displays my name for some reason. That is not how she is listed in my phone.
