This has happened one other time when I 1st got the truck. When you press the button on the steering wheel or say "OK ford", I tell it to text someone or message someone and it gives me a message back saying I need to upload my contacts. My contacts have been uploaded multiple times and they're all in there I have no idea what else to do.
I have a Android s22 ultra.

Try this, A quick press of the steering wheel button will bring up "Ford Sync commands" Press and hold the Steering Wheel button this will bring up Android Commands.

I don't need the commands. I know how to say send message or text so and so. It's telling me I need to upload contacts which they are already in there.

Press and hold the steering wheel button Android auto will pop up, Then say "text Dad" or "Call Jim"

The download contacts in Sync are only used when your not using Android Auto.

Check your phone settings, contacts need to be shared with other devices.

Having this exact issue. I couldn't care less about Android Auto. I can reply to text by voice and it will repeat name of who texted me. I tell it to send text message to ABC and it tells me to upload my contacts, which are already uploaded.

Bonus my FDRS updates fixed it showing me texts from people six months ago but I'd like to text people by voice.

I found a setting that refers to cloud onload or something along that lines. Not at my truck right now. But thst works.

On the truck or the phone?

I can say call whoever and it will call.
So I know it has the contacts. It's just texting is being funky for new texts. I can reply by voice just fine. Makes no sense to me. Everything I can see on phone is setup.

I still can't get this to work.
All I want is to be able to say "text <contact name>" and have it send a text.

Instead it keeps telling me to download contacts and they are already downloaded.

If I receive a text I can say reply text and it will reply and confirm it before sending using the contact name. ?‍♂

I'm annoyed.

Well that's an odd place to hide it.

Figured since I can say "call <contact name>" and it would call them, and I can see the dang contacts on another screen that it would not need another setting...

Thanks!
