Ford Sync System

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I downloaded music from itunes then copied it from my Mac to an USB stick to play in the USB port on my Ford's Sync System. I can only get five or six songs to play out of around thirty. I then tried the same procedure through the Windows side of my Mac with the same results. Would appreciate any help.

Are all the songs in question "iTunes Plus" songs? (i.e. - DRM-free)
If the ones that will not play are "regular" iTunes songs (no plus sign) then they probably will not play on the Ford system due to the FairPlay DRM scheme required by the record labels.

Cannot send or recieve text messages through Ford Sync system since latest O.S. update 10.3.1.1779

My Blackberry Classic easily connected to my Lincoln's Sync system. I was able to receive and send text messages through the Sync. Since the latest O.S. update, I can no longer connect sms services through Sync.
Should I restore to previous O.S.?

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
Good Luck

Having trouble downloading contacts to phonebook on sync system in my car since upgrading to IOS 6.0

Since upgrading to IOS 6.0 I'm having problem downloading my contacts from my iphone to the phonebook on my Ford Sync system. I can make and receive calls but the phonebook is empty even though the system tells me it has downloaded phonebook.

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

With new upgrade, can I play music to Ford sync with bluetooth?

The new upgrade 3.0 is fantastic. Can I play music on the Ford Sync system or do I need the 3G?
Thanks for your advice.
Best,
Tom

the original iphone, even with the 3.0 OS does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile... therefor you can not stream audio to the sync. you can however USB it to the sync and copy music over (I think) I don't have a sync, but wish I did...

Using with Ford Sync

Does anyone know if there is a download so iphone4 works better with the ford sync system. I can't get most of my features to work in my car and I love my phone so I'd hate to give it up.

Everything works perfectly for me with iOS 4.2.1 BUT I have about 700 entries in my contact list, half of which are email only (ie no phone number). These sync with the Ford phonebook, but the entries without phone numbers turn up as blanks and seem to prevent the car from recognizing that there ARE entries with numbers (when using voice commands). I can scroll past all the blanks (using the buttons) and the numbers are in there, it's just that voice tells me there are no entries...
I've only had the car for less than a day so if I figure this out I'll post an answer - in the meantime can anyone save me (and others?) a little grief?!

Android Samsung G4 and Ford Sync after latest update

Hi, After the latest update of Spotify on the 26 June, Spotify no longer seems to work with my Ford Sync system that it has been working fine for the last few months. When i say not working Spotify no longer appears in My mobile apps screen, I have tried to readd it but say no apps found also I have uninstalled form the phone and re-install but still no joy. Any one have any suggestions or has the same happened to them too.Regards,

It seems like you have the same issue as me. My phone was broken and got Fixed, and returned to me yesterday. I downloaded Spotify and had to Update it straight away. As i'm going on holidays in 2 weeks i want to download all my numbers so I can listen offline to it. Somehow it's saying that i have to setup Sync on my mobile. My Sync is online, and when I go to my phone settings and then to accounts there doesn't stand Spotify. When I try to Add the Spotify account it can't find spotify.... I reallyy hope I can get a solution within time so I can listen my music on holidays :( Regards,

Music playback issues using the new white iPod Touch with Ford's Sync System

When I connect my new 32GB white iPod Touch to the USB port of my 2011 Ford Focus' Sync system, I hear a lot of static and popping noises while the music is playing. It's almost like listening to old vinyl records. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Absolutely have had this issue.
Here's a fix (but I hate it we have to do it this way):
You have to make sure your iPod's volume is turned all the way up. The static will clear. I haven't found a way around this. The Ford system ***** for that reason. Shouldn't have to rely on our iPods running at full volume in order to work. Seems to kill the battery quicker. But hey, at least you'll have clear sound.
Lemme know if it worked for you.

Ford Navigation System USB Sync Problem

Hi
I have a Ford with the factory fitted Ford Navigation system Stereo with the Sat Nav, Bluetooth and USB port. When I connect my iphone 4 to it using the USB cable, it recognises the song, and displays the tracks and folder on the screen and plays the song. The screen shows the time passing on the song, but no audio is heard from the stereo. Its like all the data is being displayed but no audio. Have tested with a iphone 3gs too, and same problem.
Looked through the forum and the ford help pages, but no one has this problem or no solution found. Can anyone help?
The iphone is updated, it will work with the aux jack cable in the iphone, but cant control the iphone with it.

Tony (funny, my name is Tony too),
I literally just leased a new Ford Edge Limited the other day, with MyFord Touch and had the same problem with you with my 3GS iPhone - after some research I figured it out. The reason you aren't hearing sound is because your iphone is paired with Bluetooth and probably set to stream the audio via bluetooth - you can't have it both ways, meaning you can't have both the bluetooth audio streaming and audio through usb at the same time. That's why I have an old first gen ipod touch connected via usb and my iphone just via bluetooth.
You can switch the audio stream from bluetooth to usb on (select myford touch) your iphone when connected to USB if you want though and can still make calls. You just cant have the audio going through both options.
Hope this helps.

Ford sync no longer works.

After updating my iphone 5 to ios 6.1, it no longer works with my Ford Sync in my car. The phone does not play audio anymore while connected via USB. Audio doesnt play from any apps nor from the ipod through the car stereo. Same if I connect it via the bluetooth audio stream option. The only thing that still works is calling using the phone and that streams through the speakers fine. The software on my car is fully updated also.

I forgot to add in that I already did that. I re-paired both profiles (usb and BT) to no avail. After doing that I also reset the Sync system and deleted all the data. This also did not work. It just says connecting now and doesnt go away.
I also tried the "sync my itunes" app from syncmyride.com. That also did not work

HT204387 When trying to add text notifications on my iphone 5 Through my Ford sync all pages tell me to open settings, click on the sync when it is pair with the car and there should be a Turn on Notifications slide but there is not. Please help.

I heard that Ford Sync now allows the user to have text message notifications appear on the dash board. I have looked up how to do so, the instructions say on our phone click on settings-Bluetooth-when paired with the sync click on sync and there should be a slide option that says turn notifications on. I am using an Iphone 5 with the latest operating system and I do not have a Turn notifications on stting in my bluetooth. Please help

Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.

Trying to hook up Bluetooth to my ford sync

I have an iPhone 5. Trying to hook up to my ford sync. It is not working. My phone just does not pick up any devices. Just keeps searching. I checked my Bluetooth settings in my car and they are all good. Then I reset phone and Bluetooth connection on both, but no luck. I have the same issue with my iPad mini.

With further research I have found that the sync system only works with certain phones and certain carriers. I have a t-mobile iPhone 5. Since this phone is new to the carrier it has not been made compatible with the sync system. ... Weird because it shows that it will work with this phone if it was from AT&T, Vernon, or sprint.

Last update does not work with Ford Sync with Applink

Spotify has been working all right with the Ford Sync with applink in my car (C-MAX, late 2014). However, with the last update of the Spotify app from Play Store, just a few days ago, it has stopped working, because it is not detected by the car. Even when manually searching for applink enabled applications, it can't be found. It' really a pity, because it had worked perfectly until now, and it is a really impressive feature which I would definitely like to use again.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, with Android 4.3 and the latest version of the Spotify app (2.2.0.636). I am a premium user from Spain.

Our current situation is that my wife's phone connects via the AppLink to Spotify and shows track listings but doesn't allow shuffling or playlists to be displayed, she controls it via the phone if she wants to change playlists. My phone has connected once since I first posted to Spotify which came up with "Spotify powered by Ford" on my phone screen and allowed me to do absolutely everything you desired via the Spotify AppLink and "froze" all interactions directly with the phone, absolutely everything!!! Now it is back to not even detecting Spotify so have to connect via BT Audio. It has been like this for several months now however the most recent update (last week?) means that I now get track info up on the display! Twice however the display showed the first track only and once that finished and the next began, the display still showed the original track. Ironically at the same time, our 2010 Focus also began showing the correct track info on the display, this is the first time in the whole 5 years we've owned the car that my phone has displayed track info on the Focus, my wife's phone has always done it! I have found out that although we both have Samsung S3s that we got via carphone warehouse on the same day, hers is always one software update behind mine so never has the most recent OS. Strangely though, when I last updated my OS she also had notification to upgrade, she did, and she still is one behind me! I think there is something far more sinister in all of this but at least I get my tunes in the car, if not in the most desired way.
My overall opinion is that it is a great system if you have the right OS/phone it works great (I know someone with a 2015 model having the same issue with their i-Phone) however the continuing upgrading of OS and App means that the system isn't always compatible and never will be until they allow auto-upgrading via the Bluetooth connection and therefore phone internet connection in the UK. Apparently the US models all allow you to download the most recent software for the radio onto a USB stick and just plug it in to upgrade. Annoying.
