If you've been having issues like slow performance or audio/video problems with SYNC on your Ford F-150, you can improve the situation by resetting your phone connection and organizing your phonebook contacts. Bluetooth in your car enhances hands-free calling through the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), which familiarizes most people with speakerphone calling. Once your phone is paired with your car stereo, the speakers and a hidden microphone take control of audio input and output during calls while driving. Many hands-free systems come with caller ID capabilities, and the better ones utilize the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) to sync with your phone contacts. This enables the display (and sometimes even verbal announcements) of caller names, browsing through your contact list, and accessing call logs.
To pair your phone with the sync system, you need to manually connect it. Access your phone's bluetooth settings, then select sync to establish the connection. Be sure that your phone is set to automatically connect with sync.
Initiate the connection between the phone and the sync system manually. Access your phone's bluetooth settings and select sync to establish the connection. Verify that your phone connects to sync automatically.
