2013 Fusion Sync V 4.6 with MyFord (no Touch), issue with Siri iOS iPhone

[mvan231]

Here is the story, I used to be able to push my home button and activate Siri through the speakers of my 2013 Fusion with MyFord (not MyFord Touch). Recently, an update came out for the Sync system (V4.6), so I updated it and now this function is gone.

 

Has anyone else seen this same issue? Do you have any fix for it? I am curious as it used to be really convenient to have Siri activated through the easy press of a button. Now, it makes it almost impossible to activate or requires more fiddling with my phone.

 

Thanks in advance!

I was able to solve this with some files that are located at the link below. I forget who or where I got them from but I thank them tremendously. I had to perform the update sequence twice for it to actually install the entire files.

Update from the downgrade

When I initially had 4.4, streaming audio over bluetooth would just show "Bluetooth Audio" on the screen. Upgrading to 4.6 seemed to solve that and show the actual Artist and Track Name, podcast info, youtube info, etc.

After downgrading with the files in the link, it is showing the proper text information on the screen when streaming bluetooth and as mentioned before, my Siri activation via the Home button is working great!

Only downside, is the "bluedooth" speech issue, which I don't remember having with my initial version of 4.4. LOL

It's interesting to me that different vehicles using the "same" sync version, have their own quirks.
