Irritating stereo alerts on MK7

Hi,

Whenever I drive, the stereo on my MK7 '13 plate Fiesta Zetec always flashes a warning that my phone isn't detected. I can only press the cancel button to erase the message but I'd really like a way to prevent this annoying / nonsensical event happening at all. Anyone else had the same experience? Solutions?

Thanks,

Will

    My phone always pairs with the car when I turn the ignition on, but won't complain if the phone is off. 

    How is your system set up, what phone do you have?

    This happens even if the phone is off or disconnected. My phone is the iPhone 6 anyway

    I beleive that you can turn off the Bluetooth all together. Go to your Menu Button and then SYNC Settings and you should see the option to turn it off and it will stop searching for devices therefore stopping the messages coming up.

     

    Unless you do want your phone connected to the car and it's not connecting, in which case I have no idea.

    Thanks, MrGinjaNinja - will try this one. Must admit the stereo is the worst feature of this car (there aren't many though)!
