2020 FORD F-450 bluetooth

Possible Cause and Resolution
Symptom
I have an iOS device that is
correctly connected, I have
restarted my apps and they
are running but the system
still cannot find them. –
Cable connection issue.
•Disconnect the cable from your device, wait for a
moment and then connect it again to force the
system to reconnect to your device.
I have an Android device
running a media app which
the system has found but I
cannot hear the sound or
the sound is very quiet. –
Device volume is low.
•Turn the volume up on your device.
I have an Android device
running a number of
compatible apps but the
system cannot find all of
them. –
Device limitation. Some Android devices have a limited
number of Bluetooth ports that apps can use to
connect. If you have more apps running on your device
than the number of available Bluetooth ports, the
system cannot find all of them.
•Close some of the apps to allow the system to find
those that you want to use.

WARNING: Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the

personal injury in the event of a crash. WARNING: Do not fasten antenna
cables to vehicle wiring, fuel pipes and
brake pipes. WARNING:
Keep antenna and
power cables at least 4 in (10 cm) from
any electronic modules and airbags. Note:
We test and certify your vehicle to
meet electromagnetic compatibility
legislation. It is your responsibility to make
sure that any equipment an authorized

applicable local legislation and other
requirements. Installation of some
aftermarket electronic devices could
degrade the performance of vehicle
functions, which use radio frequency signals
such as broadcast radio receiver, tire
pressure monitoring system, push button
start, Bluetooth connectivity or satellite
navigation.
Note: Any radio frequency transmitter
equipment in your vehicle (such as cellular
telephones and amateur radio transmitters)
must keep to the parameters in the
following illustrations and table. We do not
