H2o Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have successfully used the voice directions to play tracks on my iPhone 4. That is until the last couple days. The kind lady tells me this feature is not available. Well I respond " it did a day ago" and she chirps back " I cannot understand you". Funny that when I ask what's playing, it is able to. My guess is it's another cold related issue, but I blame everything on Chicago cold. Anyone else have this problem? 2011 Escape BTW Jim egbert52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until yesterday when the VC button stopped working, it would respond to USB commands just fine. I could search by title or artist. Funny how it will work one day and not the next?

scottfmc Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 USB music must be fully indexed and media commands built before VC will work. I find that at random times, SYNC will re-index and there can be a sizable delay before it's done depending on the size of your collection. Just ideas....

mach'er Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I joined this forum for this exact reason. We have a two week old 2011 Fusion Sport which was great right out of the box. Now, the Sync lady says "Speech control not available with this device" while yesterday everything was fine and dandy. Same device. I thought there may be an answer. Scott, I'm curious what a "sizeable delay" would be defined as... 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes? Or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloc007 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 same problem here - 2011 fusion, worked fine w/ my ipod until yesterday, so i tried my other ipod and same issue = it's the car, not the ipod. I now regret not buying a no frills (but more reliable) civic as I had originally planned. I bought the fusion for sync and it doesn't even work right 3 months later. (just one of several issues unfortunately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiViD Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Dealers are aware of a TSB for SYNC in the 2010/2011 Fusions that will fix the "Speech controls not available with this device" problem. It will take an hour for them to reprogram the SYNC module with the updated firmware. Until then, all you can do is pull the fuse, put it back in then wait five minutes.

If you like mechanical problems and getting a$$-raped in parts costs, then by all means buy your lovely Civic.
