Ranger smartphone connection issue

Hey there. I had a similar issue in my previous car, not a Ranger, but the symptoms sound familiar. Have you tried completely deleting the existing pairing on both your phone and the Ranger's system, then re-pairing from scratch? Sometimes, old data can cause conflicts. Also, check if there's a software revision available for your Ranger's infotainment system. Outdated software can be buggy.

Thank you for the suggestions. How exactly do I check for software revisions on the Ranger's system? I'm not very familiar with the infotainment system's settings.

Alright, checking for revisions can be tricky depending on the specific system. Honestly, given the age of your Ranger and the symptoms you're describing, it really does sound like a software glitch or compatibility issue. To be certain, I would recommend taking it to a workshop to get the error memory properly read out and have the software checked. This may be related to electrical faults. They can diagnose it properly and tell you what needs to be done. It cost me 45€ to fix a similar issue last year.

I appreciate the advice. I'll take it to a workshop to have it checked out. Hopefully, it will be a simple fix. Thanks again!
