Can't send directions to car
lmartin2 replied to War Wagon's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
From what I have read, If you can get it to work at all, It only sends the destination. On board Sync navigation is still used for the routing. -
It's call bread crumbs and tracks where you have been. There is a option to turn it off/on. To clear turn off and then back on. Good luck Gene

Very poor outdated map data
lmartin2 replied to jcthorne's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
For those interested in Nav data update. I received in the mail notification a new update is available $199. I will pass on this one, there are lots of road changes in my area recently and I am sure they are not in the update. Good luck. -
Very poor outdated map data
lmartin2 replied to jcthorne's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
I have updated my Gen 1 SYNC nav twice. Each one was $199 plus tax and shipping. Both times the new maps were 18 to 24 months behind Navteq's own web site. When questioned. Navteq said Ford controls when and cost of the new updates. The update includes the map data and Gracenotes (I don't use the Gracenotes). On a side point you can go to a business using the business phone number but not by the business Name. Very disappointing. -
Can't send directions to car
lmartin2 replied to War Wagon's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
From the Ford SYNC Web site "SYNC® Services may be unavailable if your vehicle was released before 2009, if your vehicle was purchased outside the United States or your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system. " The only thing you can do on sync services is the vechile report. Also I am now on S3 phone and SYNC says text is not available. Good Luck Gene -
Has anyone had any sucess in using the Galaxy S3 phonebook to set the destination in the NAV system. Seems like I read a topic on the subject but now that I have a S3 I can't find it. One interesting thing I found was a business phone number can be used as a destination but not the business name. Thanks for your help, Gene 2010 Expeditation Gen 1 V 3.1 with NAV

I am not to sure how much MicroSoft has to do with the problem. Ford contracted a third party called bSquare to do the programming on the SYNC system. Microsoft only furnished the operating system. There was a rumor at one time that Ford replaced bSquare with another company, but I don't know if Ford actually changed the company. Bottom line Ford is still the responsible company.

Sync End of Trial, What do we lose if not renewed
lmartin2 replied to Arthur's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
If you have Gen 1 ver 3.1 with NAV. or earlier you lose nothing. Services was only used for uploading the web site with the vech. report. Gene -
Galaxy S3 Doesn't work with SYNC
lmartin2 replied to cale14y's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
Have you tried the s3 on a gen 1 ver. 3.1 sync? Thanks, Gene -
They had trouble with the install. The update was gone for a while and then put back on the site. I guess Ford resolved the problem.

They have recalled gen2 3.2.2. Don't install. Gene

What version Sync do you have? Gen 1 or gen 2? Gene -
Sync my iTunes
lmartin2 replied to aestes1's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Media Players & Technical Assistance
I think there may be a problem with the latest Itunes and sync-my-Itunes. Ford is changing sync-my-Itunes. Don't know if it is available yet. Good luck. Gene -
Playlist on USB from Mac Itunes
lmartin2 replied to Julared's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Media Players & Technical Assistance
Have you read the 2 nd post in this section. MFT with USB drive tips Computers add the drive to the play list and sync uses relative position. Good luck Gene -
SYNC assistance
lmartin2 replied to Transaxle's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
Have you checked to see that the names in the phone are not all capital format. If the names are in all caps then you would have to call out each letter of the name. Good luck Gene -
Effects of Sync 2012 Update
lmartin2 replied to Silverknight's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Navigation & Technical Assistance
My understanding is all Gen 1 uses NAVTEQ. The newer Gen 2 with the SD card uses TeleNav. At least that is what Ford was saying a couple of months ago. It wouldn't be the first time the Ford second level Techs have given inaccurate information. -

Just repeating what was put out by SYNC support. Do you have MFT (SD memory chip) or Gen 1? -
