Thanks for actually walking through the menus. I ordered my Cactus Grey Badlands a week ago. They laughed when I asked when it would delivered. “You should have it by winter.” Minimum 3-4 months. So I watch all the videos. I can’t wait to get mine.
Wow, surprised they gave you a by the winter timeline. Depending on the rest of your build that 3-4 month timeline seems about right though Hah there are so many great videos on the Bronco to keep the anticipation until yours shows up! Think you'll end up taking it off-road?
@@CarsWithSteve I am a custom metal designer/fabricator, I am going to do an entire build. Bumpers, winch, rock sliders, roof rack… all the goodies. Then I plan on wheeling it whenever I can!
I’m currently waiting for my baby bronco build to finish. I should take delivery in July, if everything goes as planned. Your video is awesome! I’ll have a head start and leg up on my salesperson when I pick it up. Your voice, cadence, and speed is perfect for teaching anyone! I stayed engaged and will definitely save this and subscribe. Thanks for doing this. 🥰
That's exciting and you're welcome! Which trim level did you end up going for? Hah, it'll be funny to see the salespersons face when you say you don't need the delivery walkaround. Hope you enjoy the ride when you pick it up and thanks for the sub!
@@CarsWithSteve I got the Outer Banks because it made more sense. I can go off road if necessary or for fun without the crawling and front camera views. Badlands was priced out of my range.
Thank you for the walk-through with Syn 3. Question: Can I have an iPhone connected via Bluetooth for calls and an Android via USB cable for Android Auto to use maps and audio (music) at the same time?
You're welcome! That is a good question.. 🤔 I've actually never tried connecting both of them that way before but the system defaults incoming phone calls to the one that's connected via Android Auto or CarPlay
This was the EXACT tutorial I was looking for. You saved me so much time and answered many questions. Thanks. Is it possible to connect android auto wirelessly? I have the Ford bronco sport 2023.
Haha always good when you find what you're looking for. Glad the video helped... There's no way to get wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay from the factory unfortunately
Thanks. One more question. I purchased the Bronco first aid kit and off-road assistant kit. Both have straps to secure in the back, but the diagram is confusing. Any hints or pictures? Just got them for the Bronco logo bling.
You can connect over bluetooth for audio and phone calls but you need to be connected over USB to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If the USB cable isn't working it's probably the cable itself. I find that a lot of 3rd party cables don't support data transfer. It's best to use an Apple cable, Samsung etc or make sure that the cable you pick up has a data icon next to the part of the cable you plug into the car
Hmm.. Try doing a soft reset first by pressing an holding the volume power button and right seek for 5 - 10 seconds. If that doesn't work, delete the phone connection from your vehicle and your vehicle connection from your phone's bluetooth. Then perform the reset and try connecting again
That's exciting! Factory navigation is available as an option in the Bronco Sport. Just make sure the one you're after has the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ package to get it! If it doesn't have that package you can also use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
unfortunately not standard tech, you would have needed to add the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ package to get it. Always the option for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and use phone maps through the screen. If you really want factory nav you can try to find a wrecked BS, or check with your Ford dealer for a Sync3 screen with factory nav to be installed. Probably run you $1,000+ though
@@CarsWithSteve I figured I didn’t pick the correct package. So I’m guessing the added Sirius XM features won’t apply since I don’t have fac nav. That sucks.
@@CarsWithSteve I’m happy for the XM! I rewatched your video yesterday to get a better understanding of the mobile apps. I’m going to try them later. I was looking for a list of apps that are compatible but couldn’t find one.
@@jaysonholman2791 ok, so there isn't a factory option for SiriusXM unfortunately. You could connect through Android Auto, CarPlay or stream the app over bluetooth though
Any idea why everything but traffic works? Sirius has refreshed our signal a dozen times. Movies, weather, etc work. Just not traffic. It says unsubscribed even though we are.
Check under the Apps button on the bottom tray of the media screen and select SiriusXM Travel Link. If traffic is showing there but it's not working, you can also try to perform a master reset
@@JeffHoganSimEdTech odd that it keeps telling you you aren't subscribed when SiriusXM are telling you otherwise. If the reset doesn't work you can try having your Ford dealer take a look next time it's in for service
In the new Sync4 system you can just connect your audio instead of the phone as well... it'll be a few years until that tech finds its way to the Bronco Sport though
@@ProductShroomz I was thinking that's what they're holding off on. AA is coming for some 2023 models but I can't see the Bronco Sport/Escape/Maverick getting that upgrade for another few years
There are people that watch 2x speed and can keep up no problem. TH-cam has playback options where you can slow it down - try 0.75x instead of regular speed. I have chapters so you can jump to the necessary sections and you can always pause and rewind as needed. You might also want to learn how to not insult people that might have learning disabilities... 👍
If you don’t like the way someone talks, move along. There are options to slow it down easily but instead of looking up how to do that, you spent your time making an insult to a stranger. Learn to be more kind and understanding before you rattle off at the mouth.

@@CarsWithSteve will do!
Wonderful information. I learned more from you than any salesman re: usage of apps and screen. Thank you!
You're welcome and thanks so much Jacqueline! Glad that the video taught you a few things. How are you liking your Bronco Sport so far?
Thanks for the tutorial, there are really several interesting options.
You're welcome!
Steve, Buddy, You do way too much caffeine!! lol
HAHA.. when you find out I don't drink coffee! I have a slower version coming out in the next few weeks though
In Android Auto if you connect USB C to USB C your phone will charge and play AA.
Good to know it's working now! I've been in a few where the USB-C port wasn't working for data transfer

Great info! Very much appreciated

Can you use magic sync instead of the long cord? I can't seem to use a friends, didn't connect to it

buying the new Branco next month my car i use now doesn't have GPS so does the Branco already have the GPS in it or do I have pay extra for it?

I dont see a hotspot choice under my fordpass connect. Is there an explanation for that?
Check your window sticker to see if yours has the 4G LTE credit. If it does then your hotspot wouldn't work..
My 2022 bronco sport doesn't have xm radio..do I have to install it myself, like from my phone?
It should come standard in the Big Bend, Outer Banks and Badlands. Do you have the base model?

@@CarsWithSteve thanks. How do I do a master reset? All I seen to be able to do is refresh the signal.
@@CarsWithSteve the button is showing there. But says we aren't subscribed. All but traffic is subscribed.
@@JeffHoganSimEdTech head to Settings --> General Settings --> Reset
edit: that will also remove all phones and delete your existing presets

Can we add TH-cam to screen?
I wish! Unfortunately no video playback support in this screen
When is Ford going to realize that you may NOT want to immediately join every ongoing conversation on every phone that is paired with the vehicle?
In the new Sync4 system you can just connect your audio instead of the phone as well... it'll be a few years until that tech finds its way to the Bronco Sport though
Anyone else completely PISSED this does not have Sync 4 for the 2023 Bronco Sport? Big decade old dated paper weight
I'd say more disappointed. Hopefully we'll see it in the next few years when the C6 platform gets a refresh
@@CarsWithSteve Maybe they will wait for Android Automotive and just not use Sync4. Have you heard of it before?
@@ProductShroomz I was thinking that's what they're holding off on. AA is coming for some 2023 models but I can't see the Bronco Sport/Escape/Maverick getting that upgrade for another few years
Yeah, it's a brand new car with old tech. Love the car but feel a bit cheated. Just got it 2 days ago.
@electronicintruder can you believe they prioritized the shitty ford edge for SYNC 4 and NOT the BRONCO SPORT???
