carsick30 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Sorry if I missed this in here some place. Is there an actual step-by-step walk through, hopefully with pics, of how to do a "master reset" of the Sync? Need it to make the thing start reading my USB connected iPod again. Online there are a few different suggestions: 1. Pull negative cable from battery - didn't work. 2. Pull fuse - which box is that in and what exactly does it look like? 3. Pull power to fuse box instead of pulling fuse - anyone had luck with this? Seems like the least PIA process, but want to make sure that doesn''t screw up other things. Thanks!

akirby Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Either pull the negative battery cable for a few minutes or use the Master Reset button in the MFT settings menu. The menu button will clear software issues but for hardware issues you need to pull the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Beast Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 2. Pull fuse - which box is that in and what exactly does it look like? Fuse #29; fuse box next to your left leg driver side kick panel area 3. Pull power to fuse box instead of pulling fuse - anyone had luck with this? Seems like the least PIA process, but want to make sure that doesn''t screw up other things. Same fuse box as previously mentioned. Pull power connector from the box There is a youtube video of someone doing it on the Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 KEEP in MIND There is a DIFFERENCE in Master reset & Rebooting. Pulling the battery or fuse REBOOTS the system & you do **NOT** loose your personal data. The master reset you LOOSE your settings & it resets back to factory standard SO try the REBOOT first!!!.

carsick30 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Makes sense. Actually I did notice that, after I pulled the battery negative cable, the personal settings did stay. But, since that still did not show my USB connection to iPod like it used to, I'll do the power to the fusebox next, then fuse, them master reset, then drive the car through the front window of the dealership.

I did see that Youtube, but I wanted to make sure that was not going to mess up anything else since the power to all fuses it being pulled. I guess what I don't get is why this, or individual fuse pull, would work if taking down the power to the entire car did not. I guess we'll have to see. I'll also try to post pics if any of this works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Pulling the fuse is the same as disconnecting the negative battery cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
