Shuffle Is Always On After Using Voice Command To Play A Track

Recommended Posts

Whenever I use a voice command to play a track, a random track is played after the current one is finished. If I give the voice command to turn off shuffle or do it manually, it still plays a random song after using a voice command to play a track. It's as if shuffle is the default setting when using voice commands to play an individual track. However, this does not happen if I use a voice command to play an album. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm very new to this car (got it last Friday) and I've never had a system like this before.

 

Edit: I was wrong about this. The tracks play in alphabetical order.

What device do you have plugged in? Is this an iPod/iPhone through USB, another device through bluetooth?

Is shuffle turned off on the iPod itself? Theoretically that shouldn't matter since Sync should be controlling the activity, but worth checking.

You are not the only one having this happen. I had shuffle turned off, and it played songs out of order from my USB stick. Another glitch I found, I had turned shuffle back on, and next time I started the car, it was playing tracks in order, and shuffle was turned off. Still trying to figure that one out.

I wish I still had this problem, ha ha. Now I can't play anything through Sync because the iPod is always indexing. I heard the best way to fix this problem is to pull the fuse out and put it back in but I can't find it. I know it's somewhere under the steering wheel. What's it look like? :headscratch:

 

I've been very spoiled by the voice command capability for the week it was working. It's a real drag having to use the aux input & scroll through my iPod once again :(

It's way back there and not easy to get to. They are micro fuses too so even harder to get them pulled. I think member wailer has a picture in his gallery where he attached the ambient lighting.

 

Have you tried the reboot program for MFT which doesn't reset your settings?

I have a different problem - no matter what I last listened to (usually iPhone, iPod, or Sirius), when I start the car the next day, the radio is on 103.5FM, a station I really don't even listen to that much. How does that happen?

I tried the regular reset that erases all settings but I'll give this one a shot too. I'll look for those pictures too. Thanks!

 

So how exactly do I remove a fuse & put it back in?

Can anyone verify if the fuses are surrounded by a grey holder-type thing? Does it need to be detatched or something?

I found the fuse box but which one is the fuse for Sync? I looked in the manual but I couldn't find it.

I would guess its either 32 or 33 based on page 248 in the manual.

Page 246 shows an overview of the fuse panel under the dash.

I don't see #32 fuse in there but I see several ones marked #30. Can anyone verify which fuse needs to be pulled?

So I updated Sync and now my iPod is simply no longer supported. Cool.

I am not an expert at fixing your problem, this is just for the Fuse location.

 

The numbers printed on the end of the Fuses refer to their strength, ie, 10 Amp, 15 Amp, 30 Amp before the fusible link melts - and there are many 30A Fuses.

 

As Corncobs said, Page 246 shows the position and the number of each fuse that can be inserted in the Fuse Panel.

The Page 246 figure of the Fuse Panel is the only reference to the 'position', it shows you 'where' to look in that fuse box.

 

On Page 248 the list of Fuses shows what they are used for and that at the 32 position is a 10Amp Fuse, at the 33 position is a 20Amp Fuse.

The Fuse at position 33 says it is for the 'Radio, Active noise Control' - try that.

If that doesn't work, replace that and try the one at position 32.

A problem I have which I didn't,mention before is that when I tried looking for the fuse, my vision got a little blury. That may explain why I couldn't find the #32 fuse. I'm a bit clautrophobic. Even thinking about it now makes me feel pressure on my eyes. I just wanted to see if anyone knew exactly which fuse to pull before I tried it, because I know it's going to be a bit of a problem for me to pull the fuse. I wanted to spend as little time as possible down there. I'll try looking again for a #32 fuse. If I can't find it, I'll just try the #33 one.

Sorry to hear about the difficulty.

The #32 Fuse and #33 Fuse are next to each other, looking at the diagram I posted 32 is directly above 33.

Maybe you can enlist someone to help, get a good flashlight too.

 

My car is at the Dealer right now or I'd go take a look at mine, just to make sure.

I read somewhere but I can't remember where, that this problem can be fix by removing the negative battery terminal. Anyone know if this is true?

You said your music is on an iPod, have you run SyncMyiTunes on your iTunes library? I wonder if that's a factor in the endless indexing?

I don't use the iTunes library so I wasn't sure how to use that SyncMyiTunes program. Anyway, it's no longer indexing. Now it says that my iPod is unsupported. I also tried putting some songs on a USB stick and it says that's unsupported as well. I've looked all over through online searches and it seems the only garaunteed method of fixing this is pulling the fuse and that's something I'm unable to do.

 

Oh well. I'm actually lucky that Sync only lasted a week. That's better than getting really used to the convenience of voice commands for months or so, and then having it stop working. This seems like a very common problem and I'm not going to the dealer every time this happens so I'm giving up on it for now. Thanks for everyone trying to help me out.

Not sure if the following was suggested before but have tried the reset that neod192 posted? Or if you know about it did you get any result from it.

Nevermind it was actually myself posting this before.

Different question when you look at the properties of you music files do you see the # (track number) being set correctly?

 

Sync is looking for the track # to determine to order of play so if they are missing not sure how it behaves.

I never tried that reset because I thought it was only applicable to MyFord Touch. I don't have the touch screen.

 

Yup, the track numbers are listed correctly. I'm really obsessive about that kind of stuff on my iPod, ha ha.
