What do I do if Android Auto™* will not connect to SYNC®** 4?

You may currently be experiencing a wired or wireless connection issue if you are using the Android Auto app with your SYNC 4 system. This is due to a recent update to version 6.4.411714.

If you are experiencing this issue:

Wireless connection issues

  1. Delete your paired phone using SYNC.
    1. Tap Settings.
    2. Press Phone List.
    3. Select Phone.
    4. Tap Delete.
  2. Perform a SYNC Module Reset.
  3. Power your phone completely off for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Power your phone back on.
  5. Connect your phone to the USB port in your vehicle. This will pair your phone with SYNC.
  6. Enable Android Auto. 
    1. Go to Settings in the vehicle.
    2. Press Android Auto Preferences.
