The Bluetooth for the phone on my 2013 F150 only works when it wants to. I have tried removing the fuse, disconnecting the battery, and resetting it with the buttons but no luck. When it does work it connects with my phone as it should. Any suggestions other than replacing the radio? ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Does your phone 'see' the truck as a bluetooth 'device' ? Depending on the phone/OS, you may have to TELL the phone to KEEP 'seeing' the truck. Maybe try someone else's phone ? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Fix-Or Repair-Daily  Wasn't life so much easier before most everyone became so dependent on these type of things? In the 70s & 80s I travelled all over the east and never knew what GPS was, nor did I have a cell phone. All I had was a phone number and a town. I always found where I needed to go.------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

My phone "sees" the truck just fine. The Bluetooth just works intermittently. If it is working, it works until I turn the truck off, then it may not work again for numerous starts. I can do without it, I just don't like having something that doesn't work. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Hubert, it might not help, but you might REBOOT and start over and reload the phone.. See if any steps are missing .... since it works part time, this probably will not help... might be INSIDE the radio as you said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVcwWujHE9Q" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVcwWujHE9Q ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Does the radio always act as the Master, the phone has gotta be a slave. Also you may try just turning the truck to ON and let them connect and then start it. If you go to start too fast they may not have a chance to connect and then can't once the truck is running. Just a couple of random thoughts. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Another random thought, check your battery terminal connections... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Have you noticed if it works when the phone is plugged into recharge? At work, we have ‘Big Road’. And it will alert us if our phones are not plugged into recharge, even if our phone battery is 100% ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Hubert, I have a 13 F150 also and my phone has always worked fine. I would first try telling the truck to forget the phone and do the same on the phone, then start over with adding a new device on the radio menu. If that doesn't work try rebooting the Sync computer, should be in the owner's manual I can't remember how to get to that right now. There has been one software update for the Sync system also since they were new, I don't know if it's still available if you don't have it. ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

My 94 seems indifferent to my cell phone but seems to get excited when I put in a new cassette tape. Just fickle I guess. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |
