JamesBarraclough Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 When I get in my car and start it the SYNC application page opens and says starting the application but then always says failed to start and I have to scan for new applications every time without fail. Anyone else had this issue? or knows how to fix it? I tried a master reset on SYNC and reinstalled SYNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Perhaps pull the fuse, people always have problems with sync and this usually fixes a lot of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggy! Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Assuming you've got the premium version of the Spotify app? The free version just kept playing ads when I tried it. Might as well be listening to a sh*t local commercial radio station. The applink thing seems to work OK though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBarraclough Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Still haven't had much luck with this, after pulling the fuse it worked a little better but still 99% of the time when I start the car it refuses to find Spotify, I also use an app called Glympse and it finds this one fine so maybe an issue with Spotify?

Luke4efc Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Probably. I don't have Sync 1.1, so I have to manually launch spotify each time (or whatever music app I want to listen to). Works 100% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
540itouring Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 mine does the same with Spotify but sometimes it will work with no problem but often have to search apps again. I wondered if its a power saving thing in my phone but not had time to test it yet . I have a Samsung S7 edge phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Never had much luck with Spotify and it refuses to work with my aftermarket radio with Spotify integration but over bluetooth audio it works flawlessly with both ford sync and my aftermarket system so probably buggy Spotify is the culprit.

540itouring Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have just done a reset on the audio unit with forscan and a master reset of the sync module from the front display. I then added my phone and tested the system with spotify. I have only just started the testing but looks like this may have solved the problem. The phone used must always have BT turned on and be inside the car when you start up and so far always comes on with spotify If the car is switched on with NO phone or BT off and Spotify not found you will then need to search for the app again but I do not see this a problem as I always have my phone. I do not know if the audio unit required a reset and expect the sync master reset was the main reason. I reset both as I have added many extras like snnc 1.1 and navigation and camera so I also done a reset on the body control module. I will update you to let you know how it goes but looks good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
