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.
