2025 Sound Not Working

sgibson2001 · Thursday at 3:08 PM

On a few different random occasions my stereo would not make any noise. None. It didn't matter what source; radio, carplay, siri, etc... no sound at all would come through. The only way to fix it is to turn the car off, open/shut the door, wait 30ish seconds, open/shut door again and then restart. Has anyone else had this issue?

Mine has done this a couple times, usually after a recent software update.

To quickly reset your system on the fly, press the physical power button 5 times in row. This will soft reset the entertainment system on the 2025+
This fixes the problem for me

Thanks. I've actually tried the power button 5 times things and it did nothing. There must big a trick to it I am missing.

There are two options for soft reset, shown below from Ford.

I think you need to press the fast forward button while holding the power down. The system should restart after that.

That's the way it's been on my 2021, but I read somewhere that had changed on the new ones.
