I want my Sync 1 back!

[Muzicman61]

Wow, I've had my 17 Fusion Titanium Energi for 2 weeks now and I'm not impressed with Sync 3. It's slow changing from song to song but only when actually on the audio screen. Voice recognition seems worse than Sync 1 in my 08 Focus. I've noticed after the command "usb" you can't do any more voice commands for about 5 to 10 seconds. And sometime, she shows me a list of possible songs and I pick the one I want, and she plays something totally different. Not even close to what I was shown on the screen. And this morning Sync could not find a song I new was on my USB stick. The song was Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings. I was able to do a search and find the song. When I asked Sync what was playing she stated Live And Let Die by Wings. But she pronounced Live with a long I. Like if I said Paul McCartney Live from London. When I asked for the song using the long I she found it just fine.

 

Also I found turning Gracenote off has helped to some extent. It seems Gracenote will override mp3 tags. Example was I asked Sync to play Nelly. It showed me several choices with Nelly Featuring XXXXX. But no plain old Nelly, which I have his Suit album. And none of my 18,000 songs have any file name or tag info with "featuring...". After turning Garcenote off, I asked for Nelly and Sync display plain old Nelly and I was able to play songs off the Suit album.

 

Is there anywhere to officially report such bugs to Ford? I've heard they pay no attention to this forum.

Just asking, but did you do voice training on your new system?

[Muzicman61]

No I have not. I have not seen anything in the manual or any of the Sync 3 menus for voice training. How do you do it? Never trained my Sync 1 and it was just great.
