Phone wont play music via Bluetooth...

My Samsung Galaxy was playing music via bluetooth for a few days and then just stopped working. The phone still connects and I can make/receive phone calls, just wont play music. Works great on the wifes Santa Fe...

Any suggestions?

Have you tried resetting the phone? Also, have you tried plugging in to the USB port and playing after the 'USB' command; then unplugging from the USB and giving the 'Bluetooth Audio' command?

Have you tried to fix it? I paid over 3 grand for the system and it is not working, very frustrating!

Have not had time. Just found out a couple of days ago that it was not working. Before, I could turn on the music on my BB, then give the audio commands to the system and the recorded music would play over the syste. Now, nothing. I even tried using the USB cable and there was nothing.

Have you reset the system by pulling the radio fuse or disconnecting the battery?

Do you have more than 1 phone setup for your system? I have a Droid Razr Maxx for personal use, and an iPhone for work. Both are paired to the system, but the Droid is the primary. Sometimes my Sync system will want to pair to the iPhone first. I've had that issue in several different cars/stereo head units. Usually have to delete everything from the head unit, and from both phones before I can get it straightened out. Make sure your phone is the primary. Otherwise... Aux cable??? Lol; JK Good luck!

mine does it randomly as well.

The last thing i'm going to do while driving 400 miles is stop to pull a fuse or reset the battery to have music. It's been happening more and more frequently lately, I just don't have the time where i can leave my truck at the dealer for 3 weeks. Followed by a "theres nothing wrong" or "it's the phone not the truck"

I thought I had read somewhere that there is a update for SYNC, but when I went to my dealer they knew nothing about it...

When SYNC works its awesome, when it doesnt work I want to smash it!

Which for me is 60% of the time, SYNC is a POS system that ford did not test nearly enough before releasing in the f150. Way too many bugs which I highly doubt will ever get fixed

I have a 2011 which I just bought with 13K miles. The truck is about 10months old (delivered in Secember of 2011) and it had three Sync updates when I went to Syncmyride.com after I bought the truck. It certainly helped the voice command recognition, however, I could advance songs on my Blackbery with the radio keys... but now I can't even though the music plays. I think the software is "buggy". It may be an overall compatibility issue with the phone if it is marginal to some "Bluetooth Interface Specifiction". I am going to try to back out the last updatre to see if the advance key is restored.
