So tired of this STYNC screen...
For the past (probably longer but just noticed) two nights, I've gone out and have seen the STYNC screen playing music!
If I was playing USB when I parked, it's playing USB, If I'm on SiriusXM that's playing.
This AM, I checked the security cameras and saw EVERY HOUR it would come on, play for ~30 minutes then shut off.
A few times a warning message popped up on the driver's screen (probably the error I keep getting that I thought was the dash cam but I've unplugged that at night "12V Drain") Gee, I wonder why there's a 12V drain? I shut off all Background App Refresh, to FordPass, Widgets, and Optiwatt hoping that would stop the 'drain' but after seeing the car having a party all night, I suspect none of those apps are having any affect.
I got in eVee this AM and headed down the road, and the STYNC screen said it couldn't connect to my phone (again) so I waited until almost getting to the office before trying, and it said 'oh, let's connect your phone' like it's never been connected before!
And while tooling down the highway the HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. At first I didn't know why my STYNC screen got all bright as day, then I realized the car in front of me wasn't reflecting my lights! Sure enough, glanced down, no headlight icon on the instrument panel. Turned the knob back to Auto. (I just recently got the 'dreaded' Lights come on randomly 'event' and have been turning my lights off every time I park, 'just because')
And just before hitting the office I decided to do a reset of the STYNC screen...
This is ridiculous, along with the;
1. Glitchy screen at least once a month (for the past year!) Went away for a while, but OTA 2.7.2 brought it back.
2. Random Audio Off errors. (Not touching anything (top of steering wheel), not singing, so no voice error, it'll just stop playing.)
3. SiriusXM icons that show Night mode on a Day screen and Day mode on a Night screen
4. SiriusXM icons that show different channels for what is playing9. (Shows #12 but Plays #74 etc.)
5. SiriusXM the 'what's playing' screen is blank, nothing to show what is playing, no title, artist etc.
6. When I get a text and hit the button on the steering wheel to talk to eVee, she sometimes dummies up. (Spinning) if I long hold Siri will talk (I haven't set that up, but it shows the button is active)
7. Volume Knob not working. (Spin/tap all day long until STYNC reset)
8. Front Camera Low Visibility
9. Seen this before, but as mentioned, come out to car and STYNC screen is on, not just the past few days. Times I'd go out, the car would light up, mirrors would unfold and the radio was playing. I took that as meh, I got here and everything came on, but probably the radio was playing the whole time.
10. One time (So far) the Mrs was driving using Whisper Mode, but it auto popped to Unbridled, and each time we chose Whisper, it would laugh and go back to unbridled. Have only seen that once. Changing her mode out of Whisper to Unbridled happens often. Has her Profile icon and seat settings etc, but her mode changes to mine.
I think my STYNC screen and/or Modules are broken, but all they do at Ford is Factory Reset (Not Master Reset like you can do in the STYNC screen) update modules, and pray to the automotive gods it doesn't return.
Aggravating all these errors and doing a 'proper factory reset' hasn't cured it...
