    Unplug the USB cable from
    the phone, wait a moment,
    and plug the USB cable
    back in to the phone. After a
    few seconds, the app should
    appear in SYNC 3's Mobile

    it on SYNC 3.
    Increase the Bluetooth
    volume of the device by
    using the device's volume
    control buttons which are
    most often found on the
    side of the device.
    The Bluetooth volume on
    the phone may be low.
    I have an Android phone. I
    found and started my media
    app on SYNC 3, but there is
    no sound or the sound is
    very low.
    Force close or uninstall the
    apps you do not want SYNC
    3 to find. If the app has a

    that setting in the app's
    settings menu on the phone.
    Some Android devices have
    a limited number of
    Bluetooth ports that apps
    can use to connect. If you
    have more AppLink apps on
    your phone than the number
    of available Bluetooth ports,
    you will not see all of your
    apps listed in the SYNC 3
    mobile apps menu.
    I can only see some of the
    AppLink apps running on my
    phone listed in the SYNC 3
    Mobile Apps Menu. Voice command issues

    Issue
    Review the cell phone voice commands
    and the media voice commands at the
    beginning of their respective sections.
    You may be using the
    wrong voice commands.
    SYNC 3 does
    not understand
    what I am
    saying. Refer to the audio display during an active
    voice session to find a list of voice
    commands there.
    Wait for the system to prompt you before
    you state your command.
    You may be speaking too
    soon or at the wrong
    time.

    Review the media voice commands at the
    beginning of the media section.
    You may be using the
    wrong voice commands.
    SYNC 3 does
    not understand
    the name of a
    song or artist. Say the song or artist name exactly as it is
    displayed on your device. For example, say
    "Play Artist Prince" or "Play song Purple
    Rain".
    You may not be saying
    the name exactly as it
    appears on your device. Make sure you are saying the complete title
    such as "California remix featuring Jennifer
    Nettles".
    If there are any abbreviations in the name,
    like ESPN or CNN, you have to spell those:
    "E-S-P-N" or "C-N-N".
    Make sure that song titles, artists, album,
    and playlists names do not have any special
    characters like *, - or +.
    The song or artist name
    may have some special
    characters that are not
    being recognized by
    SYNC 3.
    Make sure that you are saying the name
    exactly as it appears on your phone. For
    example, if your contact is "Joe Wilson",
    say "Call Joe Wilson". If your contact name
    is "Mom", say "Call Mom".
    You may not be saying
    the name exactly as it
    appears on your phone-

    SYNC 3 does
    not understand
    or is calling the
    wrong contact
    when I want to
    make a call.
    Make sure that your contact names do not
    have any special characters like *, - or +.
    The contact name may
    contain special charac-

    for phonebook and then contact name.

    SYNC 3 applies the phonetic pronunciation
    rules of the selected language to the names
    stored on your media player or USB flash
    drive. It is able to make some exceptions
    for very popular artist names (for example,
    U2) such that you can always use the

    Possible cause
    Issue
    SYNC 3 only supports four languages in a
    single module for text display, voice control
    and voice prompts. The country where you
    bought your vehicle dictates the four
    languages based on the most popular
    languages spoken. If the selected language
    is not available, SYNC 3 remains in the
    current active language.

    The system has a System Reset feature that can be performed if the function of a SYNC
    3 feature is lost. This reset is intended to restore functionality and will not erase any
    information previously stored in the system (such as paired devices, phonebook, call
    history, text messages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset, press and hold
    the Seek Up (>>|) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power button. After
    approximately 5 seconds the screen will go black. Allow 1-2 minutes for the system
    reset to complete. You may then resume using the SYNC 3 system.
