normcloutier Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Anyone sync the new iPhone with my ford touch yet? Just wondering if text messaging works. I know every time I update my iPhone to a new OS I have to run through the reset procedure in order to receive text messages on the screen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 One person reported problems with the phone disconnecting after a few seconds of playing music, but that might be an isolated case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xK317Hx Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 No problems here. I actually like the " hey Siri" function when the phone is plugged in. Get a text and MFT reads it, say hey Siri: reply to that last text....hands free all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary712 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I have a 13 LTD and just got a iphone 6 plus. I am not getting texts. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xK317Hx Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 You have to pair...the shut the phone off/on. Pair again. On the phone in settings select Bluetooth tap the info button next to sync, make sure "show notifications" is selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpepper Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 so has Iphone 6 & iphone 6 plus been tested & found fully working with MFT/MLT latest releases software version? Seems there are many posts over at sync my ride that talk about phone & forced into privacy setting or dropped calls... My iphone 6 hasn't arrived in mail yet to test but from what I have read....

drpepper Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Will we be able to uses the iphone 6 or 6+ contacts to send to the Nav to set a destination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpepper Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 OK Thanks Just looking for more assistance when I read owners report issues with new iphone 6 & 6+ & with MFT/MLT and Ford says look at general BT best practices instead of going the extra mile. Is it really that many user errors of best practices on BT setup or is there a legitimate issue? I will test when I get mine. Shame response time from Ford is not as it should be. I guess nothing has changed in 4 years with the downloaded phone book contacts & the ability to use those contact addresses to have them sent as a destination to the nav as the MFT/MLT software has as option but it has been broken for past 4 years? It should work but doesn't. It was pointed out that in this Global world the phones that list country in the contact addresses seems to not function with MFT/MLT & was hoping for a Ford Solution fix after 4 years to either except the county field or be able to simple iqnore it & not through the send address to destination feature into a non-compliance hiccup & fail. That is not too much to ask but have seen no progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xK317Hx Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Its not a ford issue its an Apple issue. Apple won't allow the phone to send certain info over BT so that the MFT system can read it. That's how it's always been with the iPhone. My buddies droid will sync with MFT and all his contacts info including pics sync over just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpepper Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) the contact addresses DO COME OVER ON BT....They are there in the car data to see.... It is FORD that CHOKES when it sees a country code...the GOOD OLD USA So Sorry Blue in the face of Ford avoiding writing a simple script to resolve!!! If we can ADD pictures for wallpaper we can ADD pictures to the contacts- I had several email discussions with Ford IT 2 years ago prior to them cutting everyone off....my email from them said it was a matter of time resources that prevented the fix & the original code locked down due to the farmed out contactor B square .. that is now fired & long removed Edited September 25, 2014 by drpepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary712 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have upgraded my iphone 5 to a 6plus paired easily downloaded all contacts. I get my texts It works perfect w/MFT. I use T-mobile No more AT&T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) On Sat & successfully set up my iphone 6 plus ( ios 8.0.2) with MLT 3.6. on my 2011 MKX Received texts, received & made calls, received a mapquest destination to sync services, played music over BT I also set up iphone 6+ on my wife's 2008 Taurus with basic sync. I can make/receive calls... I has partial success till I did a master reset in that & then good. Don't think it supports texts Edited September 28, 2014 by drpepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 My daughter has an iPhone 6 and I think it's working just fine. She hasn't complained yet to tech support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) OK been 3 weeks.....UPDATE... Oh *****Rebecca****...Ideas??? 1.) iphone 6 plus ios 8.0.2 has worked FINE on MLT running 3.6.2.... ( hey where is the newer update..tired seeing the "new update" on web site but it is 14months old....) 2.) iphone 6 plus ios 8.0.2 ***HAS Issues on basic sync- after it was up & running successfully Basic Sync on a '08 Ford Taurus lost phone answering ability via the phone button on steering wheel. If press & hold car phone button & I can reject call BUT it does not allow an answer. Have to pick up iphone & use. You can switch between iphone speaker & iphone handset on the iphone but when go back to sync setting on phone - no go- silence. Incoming calls do come in & with phone ring tone but can not answer... the phonebook does download. Can set phone as a primary.... Confused now....since & I toggled the BT on & off, deleted sync from phone & phone from sync...did a master reset & even pulled battery cable. But on re-pair have same issue of incoming calls not going through. Issue seems to be phone in a privacy mode or something I signed into I-cloud on pc. I see 2 devices. Wife's iphone 6 plus & wife's ipad 4. ( her prior phone was a dumb phone- no old iphone device to delete). When reviewing the iphone & ipad- ( vs on pc) icloud is signed into with her correct sign in on both devices. Edit 1...Also... I saw when our house phone called my wife's paired cell---her cell phone caller id displayed on the car screen -not our house line. I saw others report this SAME issue when reading other boards... so still not sure how to proceed. Edit 2... ios8.1 came out today- so I intend to install & then try iphone 6plus again on car- clean pair of course- but wanted to know if there was another step that I should do or uncheck something or Help in next step....

drpepper Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 OK .. I had free time before dinner & I got it to work on basic sync & MLT I backed up iphone, installed the 8.1 update. I did a settings, general, network reset ( not sure if needed but saw posted in other areas) On car I did a master reset. Power cycled car, deleted phone & toggled BT on/off in car (even though should have to due to master reset) Did a master again -powered cycle car... I paired phone - did not download phone book, power cycle car- tested got to work. went back downloaded phone book- tested. Now fingers crossed. MLT- no issues... backed up, deleted sync on phone-did update- went to car deleted iphone ref- power cycled. paired- on drive home & added back all my settings--needed a Traffic light or 2 to get started - due to driving restrictions... got my incoming texts to work with the go in BT set toggle on/off got to notifications turn on - toggle off/on procedure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
