how to reset the infotainment system in my Ford Mustang S650 (2024-Present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is in "Run" mode (engine on or accessory power).
• Gather necessary tools: a flathead screwdriver (if needed for fuse access), and access to the Ford app or website for updates.

2. Soft Reset of Infotainment System

1. Locate the power button on the infotainment screen.
2. Press and hold the power button for approximately 10 seconds until the screen turns off and then back on.
3. Release the button and wait for the system to reboot.

3. Hard Reset (if soft reset does not work)

1. Turn off the vehicle completely and remove the key fob from the ignition.
2. Wait for at least 10 minutes to allow all electrical systems to power down.
3. Reinsert the key fob and start the vehicle.
4. Perform the soft reset again as described in step 2.

4. Software Update (if necessary)

1. Check for any available updates through the FordPass app or the Ford website.
2. If an update is available, follow the instructions provided to download and install it via a USB drive or directly through the vehicle's infotainment system.
