  1. I tried to send a message on my 4 yesterday a couple of times. While it reported being sent, no one ever received them and nothing shows on my phone.
  2. My home screen shows song/artist when I have my iPod playing connected via USB. Just for comparisons sake, I also have a 2011 Limited.
  3. Where did you get iOS6? My phone is saying I have the latest with 5.1.1. I downloaded the update from SMR this morning and did the install. Took about 30 minutes, had to re-pair my phone and reset my Sirius stations, AM/FM stations didn't require it. Everything seems to be working for the moment and I too have my temp back on the center screen. I was hoping they'd fix the massive size text they use for the USB/Bluetooth title for songs or give you an option to auto-scroll the title. Text still large and you manually press the almost invisible arrow to see the rest of the title, then again to move it back.
  4. I'm not sure that one is Fords fault. I've had to reboot my iPhone 4 to get the bluetooth functioning properly even when it wasn't related to my vehicle.
  5. I just downloaded the iphone app and it has the temp displayed next to the clock.
  6. I wanted an X but it didn't come with MFT at the time. Now after having MFT for 1.5 years, I should have gone with the X.
  7. Is there any other manufacturer offering something similar to MFT? It's getting close to time to get my wife another car and there is simply no way I'm buying a Ford for her. I can just imagine what I'd here when she calls me with an issue and I say to her, "Now open the door and get on your knees, now look for fuse 29".
  8. Today mine decided it no longer wanted to be part of the living and so it provided me with this display. Excuse the reflection of me, this is ugly enough and I wasn't trying to make it worse. Now you'll notice there is no headers over any of the 4 quardrants, the text of the street I'm on is cut off with only half showing, the compass is in never never land, no radio stations are displayed and no connection to my phone. After stopping and restarting several times I finally gave up and pulled the fuse. What a freakin joke this software is...
  9. Yes, I must admit it was but I stopped and put gas in it on my home from work and after it was still showing the POI's.
  10. Anyone know how to get the POI's off the nav screen? Using the "hide all POI's" button didn't work for fuel and toll booths.
  11. I don't know, I got my nav card from the dealer today and the system still thinks my home address is down the street and around the corner.
  12. When playing a song from my iPod the font on the screen for the song name is huge and only shows about 16 characters, it doesn't scroll to show the entire title, it just stops. I
  13. i'll admit I have no idea what Slacker and Stitcher are but as far as Pandora goes, since you're having to use your phone anyway to access a network, using Pandora on your phone and having it come through the car speakers is not a big deal.
  14. If you'll pause it before you go to your playlist, it should work.
  15. Is it just me and I'm not finding a setting or can you no longer see the outside temperature on the 8" display?
  16. Sit tight, it will come back again and continue.
  17. Well that went smoothly enough. The interface looks a bit boxier than it did before but it seems snappier. I'll have to wait for the mailing now to get my nav system back but I don't plan on being anywhere but around town in the near future anyway so I can put up with being without it till it comes in the mail.
  18. My dealer said it would be out in February.
  19. Amiga was doing this in the 80's. They off-loaded the graphics and sound to the Denise and Paula chips respectively. This is hardly a new idea. Is it just me or did those guys appear to have been separated at birth?
  20. The last GMC pickup I had was 3 speed on the column, bought it new in 1980. About a year later I got my first company car. A 79 Ford Granada. While the gears in the pickup would stick on occasion and I'd have to get under the hood at stop lights and unstick them, I still think it was better than that Granada.
  21. I had my first adventure into pulling fuse 29 today. On my way home at lunch the display once I went into drive showed only black with the cancel button on the left and the zoom button on the right. Now the buttons did nothing when pressed and on my right side 4" display when I got to the nav section ironically just said it wasn't working and to refer to the touch screen. I stopped and restarted the car a couple of times and it would show the camera when I went into reverse but when I went to drive, just the cancel and zoom buttons, otherwise it was black. I proceeded to fight with the fuse cover and wrenched my neck enough until I was able to grab fuse 29, pulled it and all came back to operational. What a pain in the rear that was. I officially owned my car for one year yesterday. Until 2.11 I've never had to resort to the fuse 29 trick. 2.11 sucks and I wish I'd never upgraded it, and I use the term "upgraded" begrudgingly.
  22. I liked 2.8 more than 2.11. Mostly mine was fine, an occasional not pairing with my iphone with 2.8 and a stop and restart always fixed it. That was really the only issues I experienced on 2.8. With 2.11 it's just been strange. For a while if I selected Sirius (no subscription) the cancel window that opens would just flash and not allow me to cancel out of it or select another audio source. I was able to duplicate this one easily but then it rebooted itself a few days later and now I can't duplicate it. Then I had a window pop up saying it couldn't find my ipod. While the ipod would play fine, the window wouldn't go away. If I chose the radio the window blocked me from being able to input a station number directly. If I switched to another function, the window remained. Stopping and restarting cleared that one up. 2.11 so far has just been random odd things. On 2.8 it seemed to recognize my voice better. On 2.8 when I press the voice button and say, "call so and so", it would call them fine. Now with 2.11 it puts up 2 or 3 different names on the screen and asks me to select the proper one. This doesn't happen every time but it never happened before. To me, all of this seems like bad programming and not bad hardware.
  23. Hey don't bark at me. If you have issues with folks opinions, close the thread. I've paid my dues. I've gone from 2.3 to 2.11 and still if I press the Sirius button by mistake (I didn't keep the subscription) it goes into an endless loop that won't let me cancel out of it and select another audio source. If there are known problems then tell the buying public about it so they can make an educated choice. That certainly didn't happen when I made my purchase. To be honest the stealership was totally clueless about the operation of MFT and just sent me on my way. I've generally supported it as I've not experienced the same level of frustration others have but it's been more buggy than Windows 3.1.
  24. Just hope it's not the same staff they used the first time through.
