iPhone connected via USB causes troubles

[MrMangofresh]

Hi, I'm from Germany and currently driving an 2018 Focus with SYNC 3.

 

Until a few days ago I connected my iPhone 6 (iOS 11) only via Bluetooth and everything was fine.

Since I learned of the Ford Pass App with Live Traffic I'm also connecting the iPhone via USB.

This is when the problems started showing up. It took a couple of days and many attempts until SYNC finally managed to index my music via USB.

Then when I added a couple of songs it started all over again. Is this the usual behaviour?

 

Sometimes after connecting via USB I get error messages saying "No media found on this device" and most of the times this happens, I

cannot even use Bluetooth Audio anymore. It keeps showing up in the "source" screen but I cannot select it. I have to restart the iPhone / disable / enable bluetooth / disconnect / reconnect via USB or even restart the car.

I would be OK with not being able to play music via USB but then why does Bluetooth Audio also make troubles?

 

Since I really like the live traffic feature I want to keep using the USB connection.. I mean I cannot even charge my phone without alot of problems showing up..

Any help / suggestions?

 

Cheers, David

Hi,

 

I have the same problem. Indexing music on my iPhone takes ages and when I add music using the Apple Music app it start all over again. Browsing music library during indexing is extremely slow or not even responding. The system clearly is not up to the task. My Mondeo is equipped with sync3 and I have the latest updates.
