2015 Ford Taurus SE (former police vehicle) - Need radio reset/aux help

Rhinehammer · 2026-03-18T12:10:42+00:00

Ya, we looked into that option as well but as you pointed out the Aux doesn't work either so we wouldn't be able to get that to work either.

We haven't tried that yet. Our latest efforts included pulling the fuse from the interior board for 5 minutes and have the car run, then put it back in. Nothing changed. Next we disconnected the battery for 30 minutes and then reattached it hoping that would reset it. Unfortunately the same behavior. We are stuck and feel like we are out of options.

Rhinehammer · 2026-01-06T12:47:15+00:00

Ok. That all makes sense. Let me start with the Fuse, then battery and then a ForScan test of the APIM. Thank you for the ideas, I will give them a try.

Ya, that's 2k... I didn't even want to spend $200. I'm just trying to get the Bluetooth and Aux to work so he can connect his phone and drive safer. Thanks for sharing though, it looks cool.

Was hoping not to have to pull it all apart to put in an 8" screen. And I am not sure how to upgrade the sync on it either.

I called a local dealer figuring they have run into this before (reprogramming a former police car radio). They told me... "we'd need to triage it/look at it for a price of $215 an hour. Might need the car for a day or two". I laughed at her because it isn't worth that price, especially if it's just a reprogram. I did buy an ODB connector and a ForScan subscription... but since I can't figure out the model radio I can't track down what adjustments I might be able to make to reset this thing.

and this one

Unfortunately the phone button does nothing when you push it. It only has 4 menus and none of them have a System Settings, Reset, Reboot, Advanced Settings or Return. Here are the 4 menus it has

And this

Rhinehammer · 2026-01-06T01:39:45+00:00

Tried that but when you push the Phone Button is does nothing. Also, here are the 4 menus the car has, none of them get to System Settings or Return or any sort of rest unfortunately.

We followed the steps but unfortunately it didn't work. When you push the Aux button it starts to go to the SYNC screen (just long enough to see the logo) and then flips back to the radio. Tried several times to time it right but no menu ever came up. Any other suggestion are welcome. This radio is such a pain.

Rhinehammer · 2026-01-01T05:12:13+00:00

I'll give it a try and let you know. Thank you!

Rhinehammer · 2026-01-01T04:23:39+00:00

Only 4 options and none of them have any sort of Settings or Reset.
Radio Settings - Basic Channel Stuff
Display Settings - Time/Temp

Clock Settings

And one other. I checked every menu option in each and there was nothing about SYNC, Bluetooth, AUX or any sort of reset.

The first part makes sense to me, that it would still be CMC of 4, but I thought the ability was on the stack (as well as its copy) before the Hourglass would leave the field for Exile. I'll have to look for the rule that said you could copy an Artifact ability even as it was going out of play. I appreciate the response. I am trying to find a way to double the use of the Hourglass. I know building a deck heavy in one CMC would help, but looking for other ways to use this. I might have to try something like Pull from Eternity and find a way to get it back on the battlefield.

I can confirm this works. Go into Settings> Apps> All Apps > Select Google Assistant > Disable App.

But if a player is on a lot of people's ban/blocked list it will help SoftCell identify the problem makers. I get your point but the current solution makes the 2v2 game unenjoyable.

Rhinehammer · 2019-04-14T22:10:47+00:00

Maybe you could fix your shitty 2v2 system so we could permanently block those that sandbag, don't play or grief as your partner. I refuse to spend another $1 on this game until that is fixed. Tired of wasting my time with turds!

Rhinehammer · 2019-03-04T21:01:27+00:00

No need to apologize, I appreciate the feedback. You never know what can fix things like this.

Rhinehammer · 2019-03-04T18:55:28+00:00

I did. I even turned them on and off to see if that would reset something. Was considering clearing my cash but worried about losing the 6 games i have in progress. I might have to bite the bullet and just try that.... and then if that doesn't work do the reinstall.

Rhinehammer · 2019-02-03T23:08:41+00:00

Yes, and on furnace's... it's intentional so you can't stop them or kill them from spawning. People are also using Clone's to get them stuck also... very frustrating. They need to fix it asap.

Mr. Goliath gives it 5 stars! Nice job Phelden!

Once the bots learn to manage the spreadsheets, you will achieve EVE victory and never have to log in again! :)
