Question:

It always worked before but the last week or two I can't listen to audio via Bluetooth on my 2013 Ford Escort. It's connected to SYNC and the phone works but not the audio. Also audio does work via direct USB connection.

Ive tried deleting and recreating the connection on both the phone and the car. Nothing changes.

i saw some posts about folks having similar problems in January 2018.

Anyone have thoughts?
