Tacyon Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 As soon as you say "impossible, you can't do that" someone goes and does it. In this case, by "it" I mean hack into the Ford MyTouch Sync system. While researching another idea I came across this site ... take it as educational info only but interesting none the less. http://www.focusst.org/forum/focus-st-electronics/6964-breaking-down-mft-can-we-add-some-functionality.html http://www.focusst.org/forum/focus-st-electronics/22929-ucdsys-universal-can-diagnostic-system.html https://www.scantool.net/forum/index.php?board=13.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacyon Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Ford is calling off the car connectivity relationship with Microsoft that produced Ford Sync. Ford instead will partner with Blackberry and use its QNX operating system. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/177171-why-microsoft-lost-ford-sync This story is from Feb of 2014. Not sure I'm ok with Blackberry in my truck. Side note .. the QNX operating system is perhaps the ray of light in all this. Blackberry only purchased the QNX company back in 2010.

akirby Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Old news. And you're right about QNX - it's not Blackberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 No- What is REALLY old news was the report that the a "version" of that system would be applied to the older MFT/MLT vehicles... We even had an inside member here state something to that effect .. Last update was 8/13...... BUT we have seen none of any new updates let alone a revised system type update!

akirby Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well it won't be available to the older vehicles until it shows up on the new vehicles and it hasn't shown up on the new vehicles yet. Given the MFT launch debacle I'm sure they're playing this one ultra safe and not releasing it until it's really ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
