Cannot use sync 4 controls on android

Kevincarson1980 — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 19:15:33 GMT

I have a one + 12 phone. I use the newest version of Pandora. The 2023 f350 sync 4 system will not allow the use of controls through the radio. It immediately turns off the Bluetooth then goes to regular radio. Is there something I'm missing.?

Hi @Kevincarson1980

Welcome to community!

To clarify your experience, you connect your Android to your Ford with Bluetooth, and when you try to play Pandora and use the playback controls, the system disconnects you and starts the radio instead. Is that correct?

Couple of follow up questions:

Do you have a PandoraLink app within your Ford's head unit?
Does your Ford come with Android Auto?
When you connect with Bluetooth, and start playback through your phone first, do you still get disconnected

Thanks for the help!

Pandora Link works but only until you press a control on radio. No android auto on f350. It works to play from phone. But doesn't allow use of controls on sync radio
