Are you running the most recent version of Sync 3? Only time I see it switch is when I mess with the APIM via FORSCAN, or upload a tune via HyperTech or HP Tuner MPVI2. Other than that it stays put.

I screwed with tuning last month SO MUCH I just got in the habit of setting it back, along with the interior lights, and the side steps.

According to Ford's website i am (version 3.0) it just randomly drops out.

Nope, not that part it was a sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade. I'll play around with it in Forscan and see if I can lock it


Then something else is going on. Still under warranty?

Oh! That was a excellent detail to include in your original post! If the year or that detail is in your signature, it does no good for those f us that do 95% of our forum reading from the TapaTalk App.

Coding could definitely be a factor. Since you swapped the APIM it might be getting reset every time it actually shuts completely down, not sleep.
