Hey guys, just wondering if other people are having their sync 3 units defaulting to radio source, I noticed it happen a while back, but lately it seems to be a bit more regular, so far it's done it from CD, USB and Bluetooth and twice this morning.
So I'll have it on CD (Yeah old school I know) turn the car off and when I get back in and start the car it'll be on radio, Same with other sources...
Any thoughts?

Jason

The only related event I see with mine is if I don't have Bluetooth enabled on my phone when I start the truck. The unit will then default to the last source I used, which is either FM or DAB. However, I've never had the unit change from DAB or FM to any other mode upon startup. When the mode is other than BT, it always defaults to the last mode I used.

Usually playing music on USB, after turning Ranger off, come back later and start vehicle, sometimes Sync3 goes back to FM instead of USB.

Hey Kerry,

Yeah USB does a couple of quirky things, It'll show all the track info, but says it cannot read file and to unplug USB or just won't play at all.
I was wondering if it was the cause, but now it's from other sources I'm not so sure

G'day Jason,
Don't have any problems reading USB, just when start ute the stereo goes back to FM sometimes, press USB and away it goes no problems. The biggest thing with Sync 3 is the shitty GPS maps, very basic and inaccurate compared to Go Primo.
