Back up camera lines
RubyMax replied to Uncle Louie's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
I have MyFord Touch, and the lines move with the steering wheel. Maybe in this setting. https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/settings/changing-rear-view-camera-settings.html -
Brother's in Arms, my first Compact Disc purchase back in '85. Probably a bad mp3. Try to re-rip it.

2013 Ford Focus Electric and Sync MFT 3.1.3
RubyMax replied to stargazer's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
Generally it is NOT possible to do the "self upgrade" with a USB drive from 3.1.3 to 3.8. It is required that the dealer perform this. You absolutely should not be charged for this upgrade. If your servicing dealer doesn't know, (or care) to honor Field Service Action Number: 12M02, it may be time to find another dealer, and get corporate involved. -
2013 Ford Focus Electric and Sync MFT 3.1.3
RubyMax replied to stargazer's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
I had the exact same experience. Just keep pressing them. I had a Service Advisor who was very knowledgeable about the SYNC software, and understood the requirements and obstacles to get the update working. Be persistent. Getting the IVT specialists here involved will help get things escalated. It DOES work, but finding the right people to ask the right questions (to Ford) may be difficult. -
I suppose the IVTeam's same attention is given to this message board as is given to the MFM My Community.

2016 Ford F-150 Sync radio satellite ready?
RubyMax replied to foothillsfarm's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
Doesn't the Pioneer Inno have an integrated FM transmitter? -
Anybody home?
-
Can anyone from the FordIVTteamcomment on this?
-
When I log into MFM on the website, and click My Community, I have been getting this error for weeks. Also, the Discussion Boards seem like they are STILL in some Test Mode, and not very current, and unusably slow. http://osbxdc2.mzinga.com/discussions/Test_Forum/mfmtest0000dt?lang=en_us

Ford Sync2 without Navigation
RubyMax replied to anderson365's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
Ebay ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/322072147131?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true -
Agreed. I had a similar issue, months ago when, while v3.8 was the latest version, I still had v3.1.3 on my newly acquired Certified Pre-Owned Focus Electric. At that time, owner.ford.com reported that I too was "Up To Date", yet I was missing vital BEV content in SYNC. The previous owner, nor the selling dealer knew there was an updated SYNC version, so I took delivery as is. I expected the car to have been fully updated, and hadn't realized it wasn't. There was lots of "hoop jumping" that had to be done, by me, the IVT team, and a dedicated service advisor for the update to eventually take place. Most of it could have been avoided if Ford wasn't so secretive about everything.

Navigation Showing Me Driving Off Road
RubyMax replied to lejones1965's topic in SYNC 3 Navigation & Technical Assistance
The billion dollars in satellites and GPSr in the car determine the speed of the moving vehicle an the location on the map, NOT the tires. -
Thanks for the response Cara, and bummer !
-
Any chance on adding that to Sync, and supporting the second most popular phone OS and its millions and millions of users?
-
That feature does not work here in the US either.

SYNCH 2 Locked Up Computing Route
RubyMax replied to Larry Twitchell's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
Just another thought, what version of the Map to you have? The latest is A7, and perhaps includes more routes/roads than you have. -
SYNCH 2 Locked Up Computing Route
RubyMax replied to Larry Twitchell's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
Even my handheld Garmin occasionally locks up when trying to compute. If it loses Satellite, or something, it just needs a power cycle and that fixes it. I'd say this is a rare event with Ford Sync NAV. -

Did you turn off the car, and wait for the NAV system to power down, then start it up again? -
Navigation System Update
RubyMax replied to LordDelacroix's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
First of all, you don't NEED to update the maps. Outdated map data will still work. It seems unlikely that you are unable to navigate anywhere. Try just a few streets over from where you are. Does the icon on the map show your current location? Is it correct? You can pick up "last years" maps on ebay for much less than $150. You can even pick up the current A7 Map card for probably half of what Ford wants. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-A7-2016-MAP-UPDATE-Navigation-SD-CARD-SYNC-FITS-ALL-FORD-LINCOLN-UPDATES-A6-/272349988012?hash=item3f695304ac:g:rvAAAOSwRgJXjsvJ&vxp=mtr -
I wish SYNC would be named something unique per vehicle. Perhaps with the last 5 digits of the VIN, or even SYNC-Escape, for example. I have three identically named SYNC devices for my Escape C-Max Focus
-
For me, v3.8 has been the most stable version yet. I have had zero issues with it on all three of my MyFord Touch equipped vehicles.

3.8 is the latest. you can always check here. log in to https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html to see if you are up to date.
