This may be a fool's errand but I can't seem to find any specific info online. I have a 2016 Mustang with the Sync3 system. A/C went wacky on me a couple of weeks ago (in July, in Florida - fun) so I had to take it in for repairs. They told me the evaporator core had a leak and needed to be replaced. Two days later, they gave it back to me, A/C works great.
New problem cropped up, though. All of a sudden, ever since I got it back, the Sync system is acting up. I can no longer answer my phone or get its audio through the stereo speakers via Bluetooth which is insanely annoying when I get a work call while driving 85 MPH and have to start fishing for my phone to answer it. Unsafe. Just as annoying is the fact that my MP3 player (Sony Walkman 128 GB if it matters) just stopped communicating with the car. Worked like a charm from the minute I got the car and plugged it in, now every time I open the USB menu, it just says that the thing is "indexing" constantly. It never stops and I can't play anything from it. Further, as long as it's indexing, the voice commands in the car don't work - you hit the voice button and it's dead silence, not even that annoying disembodied voice asking you for a command. Once I disconnect the MP3 player from the USB port, it resumes function.
I've tried everything I can think of from syncing the MP3 player on my computer, to turning the player and the car off and on, to doing a master reset of the Sync system (particularly annoying since I had to re-key all my navigation favorites, my Sirius presets, and re-pair my phone and it did nothing to help the problem.) Nothing works. Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks.
