First go to Settings on the 8” Display and check the version of Sync for this version or a later version (then if necessary download Sync from the ford website to a USB Device and follow Ford”s instructions to install)

SYNC 3, Software Version: 3.4 Build 23188 PRODUCT

Report back if you are already running that version and there will be a few other Settings to check. However… randomly and not often I will see the same message — I ignore it.

I get the same periodically. I just ignore it or press the OK button on the steering wheel. Cheers!

It comes on if you have your Bluetooth turned off so your phone is not detected. Ford uses location data collected through your phone it what I have deduced. If not, it uses the onboard electronics to track location data.

100% of the time if I turn Bluetooth off on my phone before getting in the vehicle, then this message will appear.

Thanks for the tip! I always fumble with it on the screen

It will also come up if you have a phone paired, and then drive away from the tethered device or don't have it active.

Will that data prove I wasn't speeding if I get in a wreck? Or will it have video of the accident taken through the front camera?

It will also come up if you drive the vehicle & do not have your phone with you. Sometimes when we run out for food shopping or to go to dinner out my wife leaves her phone home & it will come up on the screen. We will just hit OK & move on.
