Strangely named cell phone in SYNC

[jimallen]

I had this problem a couple of months ago. I removed and readded the phone to the truck (both for SYNC and PAAK) multiple times. When freshly added, the name was correct, but after a few days, it would go back to the nonsensical string of characters. I attributed it to the Beta versions of Android and FordPass I was running. Eventually it resolved itself, about the time I moved to Android 16 Beta.

The strange name my phone would get included the word SPY in capital letters. Gave me a start when I first saw it.

Thank you for letting me know that I am not the only one who has this issue! Looks like a wait and see what happens type of thing.
Appreciate the input.

Interestingly, today I got into the truck, and the phone was named back to what it was originally! No update was processed, so it most likely was something on the phone end of it... But who knows, maybe internet voodoo!
