AmyLovesHerEdge Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hi, I have a 2011 Edge Limited with MyFord Touch. I currently use an old Apple Ipod Classic via the USB port in the center console. Everything has always worked great. But now I would like to upgrade to the latest Ipod Touch which just came out. Current Apple operating system is iOS 12. Since Ford refuses to Upgrade MyFord Touch (pathetic), Does anyone know if the MyFord Touch will work with a newer Apple operating system and newer Apple devices? Thanks for your time on this, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I would think that it would , as long as you are useing 3.10 of the MFT software... of course I'm assumeing you have the 8" screen? If it's the 4" screen, then I don't know... I'd say Doubtful , buy it from somwhere you can easly return it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyLovesHerEdge Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Multitask, Yes I have the 8" screen in a Ford Edge Limited. Just purchased the new iPod Touch. It's the only one you can get now brand new and the only one that will connect to the new Apple Music Service. This is the latest version released Jun 2019. But the main thing is it Works on the old 2011 MyFord Touch!! The main thing different is: The new Ipod has a security 4 number code to open it up. Just like the security number to open a cell phone. The old MyFord Touch doesn't know what that is because the old ipods were just music players. You just plugged them in the USB and play away. So you must go into the new Ipod Touch and click Settings>General>and click on CodeKey window. It gives you the option to disable the login codekey. Once you disable it, everytime you play the ipod in your car, you don't have to manually get out the Ipod and key in the code. It automatically turns on by itself. I've downloaded new albums from the new Apple Music Service (which is a different file name from the old iTune's file names) but the old MyFord Touch still recognizes and plays them! Yeah! Just wish Ford would update/upgrade the MyFord Touch to sync 3. Not fair that they did it on cheaper models the same year, but not with MyFord Touch. Sad.

Multitask Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 If you have Sync 2 MFT, you can easly upgrade to Sync 3 http://www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=3881 car-part.com that is a good place to start in looking for replacment Sync 3 units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyLovesHerEdge Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thanks Multitask, I've briefly studied these replacement units, but have never been to the web site you suggested. I'll check into it. Thanks again, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
