I have a Ford with Sync. When I synced my new V30 to it, it still says it's connected to my Stylo 2 Plus.

Plugged in both phones to PC to move files around. PC recognizes them both as the Stylo.

How do I correct this?

In settings change the name of the phone and then delete and re-inituate the connection.

I did delete it in my car Sync but didn't change the name first. Last time I tried to change a phone name to Deb's Phone I couldn't sync it at all until I changed it back to the actual name of the phone. After I deleted it I synced again and it still comes up the same way.

The last time I played around with Ford's Sync system I had to do a full Master Reset to fix any connection issues. I would try that first & see if it solves your issue. Once you're done with the Master Reset, try to connect the phone again & let us know how it goes.

Found the problem. When I imported my backup I imported the settings from my Stylo and shouldn't have. I wiped the phone and re-imported minus the settings.
