I came across this article http://editorial.autos.msn.com/blogs/post--will-new-ford-ceo-fields-abandon-myford-touch and have a bad feeling about this. Perhaps we have received our last update. I hope I am wrong.

My understanding is one of the improvements of this update is Improved screen interactions while using voice Has anyone found a list of new voice commands that we should now be using in place of previous voice commands?

Came across this - http://fordtechlane.com/new-myford-touch-upgrade-to-be-released-in-august-2013/ Ford Motor Company is preparing its dealers to be ready to roll out the latest MyFord Touch and My Lincoln Touch software update to be released August 2013. Effective July 18, 2013 all Ford and Lincoln dealers were put on notice about several important enhancements regarding In-Vehicle technology features. Ford will soon begin sending letters to existing MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Tough. The notice will include information pertaining to the August 2013 release of the latest MyFord and MyLincoln Touch software version 3.6 (v3.6). Included in the notice is a reminder of the recently launched consolidated SYNC owner websites found at support.ford.com and support.lincoln.com There will also be information about the extension of the limited warranty on SYNC with MyFord/MyLincoln Touch system to a total of five years (Ford) and six years (Lincoln) from the warranty start date, regardless of mileage. Initially, the SYNC system was warranted for 3 years. All Ford and Lincoln personnel will have to upgrade existing unsold inventory as soon as the new software is available. They will also assist owners with the installation of the new software. The MyFord Touch system was first introduced in some 2011 models. It is not known is the upgrade will be available via download from the new support site, or if it will be available on a USB jump drive. Ford had announced late last year that the future software upgrades (planned to be include in the new 2014 models) would address system issues such as voice recognition, freezes, and other issues, such as clock errors. Ford’s SYNC voice-controlled connectivity and MyFord Touch touch screen technologies are attracting more customers and selling at a much higher rate than competitors. Combined, SYNC and MyFord Touch are sold on 79 percent of new 2013 Ford vehicles, double the rate of Toyota and Honda vehicle infotainment systems and up from 68 percent in 2012.

Try a master reset of the MFT.

Is there a listing of, or definations of the "better interface for entering addresses"? I am looking for an explanation of what to do differently now compared to the previous update to enter addresses? Apologies if this is answered in an obvious place, but have been unable to find in my searching. Thanks

Less than a minute to download and about 15 minutes to install. Only thing was at the end of the final reboot, I got an error message that the USB drive could not be read. However, everything appears to be working fine. But I cannot confirm the install on syncmyride.com as there is no log file on my USB drive. Glad to have the temperature back!!!

My 6 month free trial ended a few months back. I had signed up for the year, but they really screwed up the account using my Discover card so I cancelled. (I didn't think to use the virtual number). I also received the 6 months for $24.99 offer and didn't want the auto renewal. So I went to Best Buy and got a $30 SiriusXM gift card and used that in place of a credit card. They did try to get a credit card number from me, but I told them my wife had the card with her shopping. They signed me up with just the gift card. With royalties it came to $29.61 for 6 months. The rep did state i would be assessed a $2.00 billing statement fee at renewal. Like others, I set an alarm on my phone to remind me to cancel before the 6 months are up. I also hate dealing with them, but if this works, I will deal with them twice a year to get the service for around $60 for the year.

My search shows no comments on Sync Apps since March this year. That search shows comments of Sync Apps may be added after the update was completed. Has anyone heard or read of any current updates on adding Sync Apps?

I am also running ver. 3.02

I am having an issue when using Siri through bluetooth with MFT. The issue is a very long lag in "hanging up" after a command is executed. For example, if I tell Siri to send a message to my wife, after Siri confirms it is sending the message, there is a very long(over one minute) delay before the "call hangs up" and my music resumes playing. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

No traffic. He first quoted $1.99 per month for SiriusXM Travel Link. That equaled $23.88 for 12 months. I then said I wanted a discount on that because I was paying for 12 months up front. He then lowered it to $19.90( he took 2 months off). So it sounds like the only difference between your price and my price is one month of the Travel Link - or $1.99.

[/quote Just renewed, $108 for music and travel link for 1 year. You don't have to buy whole travel pacage just the item you want. Since I have navigation all I wanted was travel link with weater and the like. Thanks for the help. I just renewed for $106 for music and travel link for 1 year. Same here, have navigation and just wanted the weather map and fuel prices on the MyFordTouch screen for convenience. The breakdown was $86 for 1 year of Sirius Select music and $19.90 for 1 year of SiriusXM Travel Link. Taxes and fees added around $14. I also had them remove the auto-renew at the normal price option. For backup, I used a credit card I plan to cancel in a few months. I know I am paying a premium of around $20 for the year to avoid having to renew in 6 months and to lessen the amount the warnings in my car that my subscription is ending soon. Howard, Sinatra and Blue Comedy are worth it to me to continue the service.

My 6 month trial is almost up and looking into whether to continue with Sirius Music and Sirius Travel Link Services. I understand there are discounts available like 6 months of Sirius Music for $25. Has anyone continued with the Sirius Travel Link Service after their free trial? If yes, what are you paying? I also understand that Sirius Travel Link Services are not available in Canada, but was checking if anyone else has pricing info on Sirius Travel Link Services. Does anyone have both services and receiving a discounted price? Just trying to see what is available for my future conversation with Sirius about renewing their services. Thanks.

Question - is the $77 yearly price mentioned here for music only? If yes, what are some prices people have received for Sirius Travel Services(fuel pricing,weather,traffic, etc)? Are you able to combine the two services for a bigger discount? My free trial ends in a week and just looking to see what my options may be if I decide to renew either service. Thanks.

Has anyone experienced a better GPS experience with Navigation since the update? Mine used to be a good 500 - 1000 feet behind the actual car location. Now I am much closer;like around 50-100 feet behind.
