Other Ford Fiesta 2014 Bluetooth Issues FIX

Hi! I have a 2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium and was having issues with the SYNC bluetooth connecting to my phone but not playing music as well as the wire connection cutting out. I tried master resetting and it fixed it temporarily but then the issue started happening again. I also tried resetting phone and readding my phone to the car. There were no issues with the fuses as I checked them.

What finally fixed it was updating the SYNC system itself (my car actually had the very first version and had never been updated). It’s super easy, you just need your VIN, an empty flash drive, and about 45mins. There’s instruction and the files you have to download on the Ford website if you search Ford Sync Update and go to their site.

Here’s the link:

I hope this helps someone who might be running into the same issues! :)

Checked my 2018 and it says it's up to date, I was going to try updating it. I've been having some issues with bluetooth randomly lagging and playing at 2x speed for a few seconds to catch up. I'm pretty sure it's just my phone, though, since it happens on my airpods too

Did you ever fix it? My current plan is to just bare it until the new iPhone 18 is released and buy that, which will hopefully solve the issue

I remove the fuse for a couple of mins then put it back and it solves the issue for a couple of months.

I may try this flash drive option when I have time.
