Will MyFord Touch recognize the new Apple Ipod Touch?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

 

Regards,

Amy
