There are so many quirky bugs in the Ranger Sync 3 that I am miffed to the 10th degree.
I am not a SYNC 3 virgin, I've had it in my Mustang and Explorer and except for having trouble updating the Mustang (I had auto updates disabled because I was ignorant to its function) it has been completely trouble free in those platforms.
So I would assume that the Ranger would be good to go out of the box... Nope! I had what I assumed was a Sirus/XM problem and in fact it turn out that a Sync3 reboot cured that problem.
I've had my NAV System completely stop working, so I pulled over at the next convenience store, shut down the vehicle, use the "facilities", restart and everything worked. Today it dropped my phone, I jumped around a couple "Screens" at a long red light and it repaired my phone. It almost acts like the original SYNC from days gone by.
I spoke to the "Tech Guy" at my dealership, he knows I am Sync Savvy and he said that he has had to reboot several Rangers for similar quirks and his contact "up the line" says that fixes are coming in the next update, when ever the heck that may be.
Basically I am just venting but for those that are having Sync Gremlins, you are not alone and I feel your pain...
