Profile picture from "contact list"

[Dkuhnke]

In earlier (last year) video reviews, the display showed a picture and name for the profile user at the top of the central display.

I've tried to change the standard avatar icon to a picture and the instructions say to use my picture from my contact list. Which list? The ones (I have 2) on my phone (Samsung 10+ Android) don't show up. Is there a contact list internal to Sync?

Any suggestions or experience in changing the photo in the avatar setup?

I set up my profile initially from my computer, logged in to my Ford account. It allowed me to load a photo from my computer.

Thank you. I'll try it.
Here's the message I got on display.

I used the Remote Vehicle Setup option in FordPass to upload my photo. After many failed attempts, that eventually worked for me.

Others have been successful getting the car to load the photo from their phone's contact list. They might just be iPhone users though, I'm not sure. I'd recommend verifying a few things:

• Your contact for yourself on your phone is assigned the same email address as the one you use with FordPass.
• You've given the vehicle permission to read your phone's contact list.
• You're connecting to the vehicle via Bluetooth and not Android Auto.

This worked perfectly on two Android phones for me.

Connection via Bluetooth is key here - absolutely
