I've had this issue! Fear not, you won't have to pull over anymore.
You can reset just the media by holding down the radio power button and the fast forward button together for 10 seconds. Reboots the system.
I wish it didn't freeze in the first place but at least you can quickly reset it.
Sure does, but all it takes is missing it once when remembering the parking brake or fiddling with something on your phone and it returns to the default.
It'd be great if you could just change the default.
I was just thinking about this today.
Anyone experienced with forscan that can chime in here?
Looking to change mine too. Weirdly I get better mileage in sport mode, and it's more fun to boot. Would love to save a click/twist every time I start up.
I finally found the answer somewhere else. Reset by holding power and seek right buttons for 10 seconds.

Recently been having an issue where Android Auto will freeze. Does any one know if there a way to force close AA while driving and return to the sync home screen? Thinking a button combo might do it but can't find one. Can't use the ford sync icon on the home page because it's locked up. Not...
Whenever mine shows up, I vote we organize a raid on dirt mountain to help you, @Alexy.Bujold, @skyman, @treadlightly @Wiscosown and the others break free.
