... Is going wonky on me! I believe I have the latest version: 3.4 Build 23188.
This is the 2nd time I went to make a phone call using Sync for the hands free. It showed the call as activated but instead of giving me the phone audio,
it started playing my flash drive music. It wouldn't respond to my commands to stop the music until I pressed the rotary off button. I had to pull over to
shut the engine off so Sync would reboot but again, the same thing happened. I then navigated to the Sync "phone" and disconnected my cell so I could use
it without Sync and use the phone speaker. When I made the call, the s-o-b reconnected by itself and repeated the screw-up. So then I deleted the phone completely from Sync
and it STILL reconnected! What the flock! I actually had to pull over and turn the vehicle off so I could make the call. It wasn't until I later came out of work that it cleared up.
Another time, after I shut down, the chime went off as I exited, like a door was ajar and the headlights wouldn't go out. I had to go back in and manually shut off the lights to make it stop.
Does anyone have a remedy to this situation? Do I have to reinstall Sync?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a hard reset? Also, if on your phone you forget the sync Bluetooth connection it should not ever reconnect automatically.

Thanks for the hits. I did eventually disable the BT on my phone.
I guess next time in I'll try the reset.
