My only complaint is every time my phone connects it turns the ringer up full volume. Wish it would just leave it low like I have it set. Anyone have this issue?

Under Settings>Sound>Ringer, turn “change with buttons” to off and the truck will stop turning up your ringer volume.

My entire office thanks you for your help. Lol

I normally come into the office and leave my phone on my desk and the ringer turned full volume from being in my truck scaries the shit out of everyone the first call I get. My office will now be peaceful in the morning. Thanks for the help.

Where is this setting? Nowhere to be found on my 2018. Maybe I'm missing something?

I have the same problem as my phone alarm ends up being on the highest volume setting and is deafening at 5:30am.

It's not about Bluetooth but rather about Sync shit altogether.
In my beemer you have a set of assignable buttons which can hold anything - any radio station (Sirius, FM, AM), a call to contact or an address to navigate to.

Indeed, if you want to switch from fake news CNN on Sirius to Rush - you need to switch Source and then choose a preset which takes your attention from the road and costs you a few damn clicks.

Sucks.

But then again, it's a Ford.
Why would we complain about electronics if it's a Ford...or Raptor ?! It's a RAPTOR !! Dumb electronics and almost perfect drivetrain!

The problem with my phone when in my truck is I like the volume set to 25. Every call I make both outgoing and incoming the truck sets itself back to volume 19. I have to manually turn it up every time.

Pain in the butt. My mustang is the exact same way.

Anybody know how to fix this??
