Driver_8 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Zero replies! I either stumped everyone or asked a really dumb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdomsp Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Did you apply the most recent update? Though I have an iPhone, and have never been able to get the Edge to read text messages the update does mention that it fixes issues with reading text messages. It may help you out... Just a thought though. Or, try and restore defaults in settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bce Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I've had mixed success with it on my phone. For a while it will work, then it will stop and then magically start again. I haven't reset anything on sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 My 2013 Fusion is off and on also. Not sure if it's a quirk between the iphone and sync or just a sync bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Never any problem with my 2013 Edge running the latest update from last year listening to a text while driving. What doesn't work is when I try and send one of the canned messages as a reply, regardless of if I am driving or parked. The message doesn't go through to the recipient.

drpepper Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 More of same- incoming texts for iphone work for a good while & then SUDDENLY stop. I thought I saw more frequency of stopping issue when I would BT my phone to a portable BT speaker & then later went back in vehicle but not fully proven that out. Also more like to see the incoming text stoppage after the behind the scenes forced reboot after the 20hours of operation... You can tell the system rebooted in background easily with the current "bug" that is in system. The Ambient light will reset back to gray/white but if you go to the light setting you will see it set to another color & quickly spin in front of you. I have found need to just play with the original procedure's last few steps to get the incoming texts to work again. IE connect as normal- turn BT on/OFF on phone- confirm the notifications setting is there & toggle on/off & then do a cycle of toggling BT on/off in the order from the original steps laid out in the other threads.. And YES- outgoing with iphone doesn't work though Ford...need to JUST press the Siri button once on iphone & then you can reply to the incoming text via voice - have it read back- & then sent via voice AND do NOT need to pay $99 for the new app that appears to only work with "sync" & not MFT. The Smart driving assist that was pressed released the other day & discussed over at the sync my ride forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 AND do NOT need to pay $99 for the new app that appears to only work with "sync" & not MFT. The Smart driving assist that was pressed released the other day & discussed over at the sync my ride forum The compatibility list includes Lincoln models that offer only MyLincoln Touch (MFT), they also stated that it's coming next week, and since we are already waiting for 3.7 (or 3.7.11) MFT/MLT update, it might actually come next week. https://www.automatic.com/ford/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) REMINDER with IOS 8 now downloadable...smart practices dictate then you should do a clean install with MFT- delete sync from phone & phone from sync- & then start over to pair phone & follow the step by steps to get incoming texting to work....This will max success of items working with MFT... I have IOS 8 on iphone 4s & My incoming texts are working fine & outgoing with Siri assist is as well Edited September 18, 2014 by drpepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver_8 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am running the latest MFT update, applied the fix for iphone text. This worked for a while then started reading texts only when edge is not in motion. I can be in drive, but stopped it will read texts, once i start moving the text buttons are greyed out. same issue when MFT is paired with Samsung Galaxy.
