Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general. No solutions seem to be given.

Iphone 6 and Ford Sync Bluetooth Does Not Work

Brand new iPhone 6 paired with My Ford Sync in a 2014 Escape.
Bad news, the bluetooth phone features simply do not work. You can initiate a call form the Sync and the phone will dial and connect, but 5 seconds into the call the bluetooth disconnects the phone audio and returns you to your radio or whatever source you were listening to.
The call appears to remain active on the iPhone but you can't access it.
Sure hope Apple or Microsoft/Ford step up to fix this soon it is a real show stopper.
Nothing like in the field beta testing.

I had a similar problem with my 2011 Ford Fusion and brand new iPhone 6 received yesterday. I restored my iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6 when I received it. My iPhone 6 has the same device name as the iPhone 5 did. I was able to pair my iPhone 6 with Sync easily, but Sync would only ring on incoming calls. I could not answer the incoming call or initiate calls through Sync. I was able to correct the problem this morning by:
1) Forgetting This Device (Sync) in the Bluetooth application in the iPhone 6,
2) Deleting All Devices in the Sync Phone Bluetooth menu.
3) Re-pairing the iPhone 6 with Sync.
Apparently the same phone name stored in Sync from the iPhone 5 was corrupting the settings for the iPhone 6 using the same device name.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Z10 and Ford Sync

My Z10 phone connects to sync and everything works except it now says that the phone connected cannot receive bluetooth text messages. What is strange is it was working yesterday.

I have Ford Sync in my Land Rover and do not get text messages, but I'm not sure if it's the software in the car or the phone. I say that because in my Z10 is says it can download email and SMS to my Car Profile (which of course must also allow it). You might check with your car dealer to see if there's a recent software upgrade to your car's unit.

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,

IOS 8 update and Ford my touch in sync problems

I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS 8 last week. It no lingers works with my 2014 Ford Escape my touch in sync technology. It pairs, downloads the phone book, and makes calls...however it rings twice and ends the call. Any suggestions? I contacted Ford and we reset everything twice and no luck. I spent $38,000 of a car to use this technology and one simple update can do this??? Help

There is a huge discussion going on about this here on the Apple forums: Iphone 6 and Ford Sync Bluetooth Does Not Work , iOS 8 wifi sync not working, iPhone 5s with iOS 8 connection problems to Ford Sync system. .. And it's also on the Ford Sync forums: http://boards.synccommunity.com/discussions/Welcome_to_SYNC_Owner_to_Owner/_/_/f ordsyncmb/9257.62 . Doesn't seem to be any resolution to the problem other trying hard resets (which I have tried and it hasn't worked). GL, let me know if you find anything!

Uconnect vs ford sync

Looking at trading my current vehicle off. Debating between a Ford and a Jeep SUV. How does uconnect and Ford Sync compare for using an iphone hands free?

Thanks for the quick resonse Kilted Tim. Are you from Scotland? My wife is.
I decided to try to do two things this morning to resolve this privacy problem. The first is, I restored my wife;s phone from itunes--in spite of the fact that the Apple tech at the Genius Bar in Tampa said that reloading the firmware is not the problem and it must be Ford. This took about 15 minutes to download, restore and verify. One must resist the temptation to disconnect the phone because I had a popup by the system tray ( I'm using Win7) that said I can now use the phone but itunes was still doing stuff so I just let it do it's thing until it (itunes) told me to use the phone. Went down to the car and my privacy issue is resolved.
I also went to syncmyride to download the version checker. A word of advice this does not work well if at all on google Chrome. I went to Explorer and it worked fine. I was on a chat line about a week ago and was told that google Chrome will work with syncmyride.com. So much for their knowledge.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.

Does anyone have Ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

I had all the settings working when I was on ios 6, but now that I have upgraded it quit working. I removed the sync from my phone and removed the phone from my phone from sync then paired again. Then set the sync notifications back to on but still no text. Does anyone have ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

I need to update, my messaging is now working. Apparently after going through the steps and the settng notifications to on all I had to do was turn off the car, open the door, and then return. When I got in my car this morning the text messaging (recieve only) was working.

Does iOS 5 support the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) for interacting with text messages in Ford Sync?

I'd sure love to take advantage of Ford Sync's ability to read aloud and let me interact with bluetooth text messages by voice. I had heard rumours that iOS 5 was going to support the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) like other phone manufacturers, but in my latest update I received while testing and reading other non-Apple sites, that appears not to be the case.
Is this something I'd have to upgrade to the iPhone 4S to otherwise get?
It's not Siri I'm interested in, just this particular feature to allow the phone to interact with my vehicle. If there's a 3rd party app out there that helps I'm open to that idea too. Thinking about what my next smart phone's going to be with LTE, and this is weighing in on my decision, lots of enterprise users out there with Ford as their company fleet vehicle too (hint hint!). A nice way to save lives too for those who refuse to not read/reply to texts while driving (I'm not in that club, but many are).
Kind Regards,
Brian

For the public record, here's the feedback I submitted based on Allan's suggestion. Thank you both, guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope others share their feedback in a positive way to Apple too.
I'd sure love to take advantage of Ford Sync's ability to read aloud and let me interact with bluetooth text messages by voice. However it requires phones to support the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) like Android and other phone manufacturers.
Humbly requesting this is something that gets added to a future iOS update.
It's not Siri I'm interested in, just this particular feature to allow the phone to interact with my vehicle by using the vehicles embedded voice and heads-up display commands.
Advantages:
(1) Gives one less reason for Apple people to stray to Google
(2) Saves lives too for those who refuse to not read/reply to texts while driving
(3) Keeps drivers behaving legally (outside of common sense, many provinces and states have enacted laws to try and protect people against themselves)
(4) A critical enterprise feature if Apple is attempting to continue to break into that market, most fortune 500 companies that have employees using fleet vehicles use Ford, but frankly other manufacturers coming to market with these features too.
Thanks for consideration around this feature. If you'd like to understand the use-case more or be pointed to threads in the discussion forum and 3rd party websites begging for this feature, happy to discuss.
Kind Regards,
Brian R. Kneebone

HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?
