How many times do you reset Sync 4? Daily? Constantly?

Ty also for the edit.
The only time I don’t reset on a daily basis is when I don’t drive the car . It’s that simple.

edit: I only use PAAK and still on my original 12V battery after 12k miles and almost 1 year
Ty also for the edit

Multiple times a week you can find me holding those volume down, arrow forward buttons on the steering wheel. Very annoying.

Use PAAK only

Ford engineering stated the APIM is bad and is ordered with unknown timeline. Stated it would make the car act annoying like this.

I've had to reboot sync twice in the 8 months I've owned the car. It's simple to do and I think related to me trying to get going when it was cold and taking longer to boot.. I've never used PAAK. I don't use Carplay or Android Auto. It seems likely to me that the car works best if we avoid other devices or software trying to interact with it. I know some owners will not think that's acceptable, and Ford probably doesn't either, but it's just the nature of the beast right now. As the software matures over the next several years hopefully most of these kinds of minor glitches go away.

I never have to. I do have the profile bug so I just gave up on profiles and leave it on guest. CarPlay always works.
I have never had to reset Sync....
I do not use Profiles, CarPlay or AndroidAuto

You might want to change the thread title, as it has a very different meaning than what you are really asking.
The only thing I resent about Sync 4 is that I am not getting the newest upgrade via OTA, but I have never had to reset it.
In the 2 years I've owned the car I've never done a Sync reset. I use profiles, PAAK and Android Auto.

Had a fun one yesterday. It kept going back and trying to play my Car Play. I'd switch it back to FM, and 2 minutes later, Car Play again, switch back to FM, minute or 2 it goes back to Car Play. It just kept doing this while I was driving. This went on for about 12 minutes. I finally gave up and reset Sync.

Interesting part of this is it used to take my Sync about 15 seconds or so to start playing music at all, even FM when starting the car. Now it's playing before the screen even wakes up when I start the car.

Reset 3x on Saturday. It's streaky. sometimes it will go a week or two between the profile getting stuck on guest... Recently it's been a daily aggravation.
