Knocked off another item on the minor annoyances list this weekend.
I ran into this with my Fiesta ST as well, but for some reason (at least it appears that way in the U.S. Market) Ford defaults most/all of their Bluetooth pairing IDs to SYNC, which seems to make sense except for the fact the Ford Sync 3 does have support for setting the pairing ID to the Model Name.
Not a big deal I guess, but if you have or connect to more than one Ford Sync with your phone, it can get confusing which profile is connected to what when looking at your Bluetooth settings, and something I corrected with FORScan on my FiST a while back.
Anyway, I finally got a new ODB interface to replace an older one with better support for the Badlands and made my first FORScan code change. Currently Ford offers two options that make more sense than just SYNC, "Bronco" and "Bronco Maverick". Bronco Maverick as a Profile ID seemed not-quite-right to I went with Bronco.
My Bluetooth profiles look much nicer now:
