In case Rebecca or Cory are reading this thread...
Feature request for 'Voice' button on the steering wheel:
Tap voice button for normal operation
Hold voice button for 3 seconds to activate cell phone voice control
Hi, w1kedz!
I'll submit it as an efficiency proposal, but I can't guarantee anything. You can always post your idea on TheFordStory.com
So whats the final verdict from those who are now using an iPhone 4s with iOS5........does MFT text to speech work now or not?
MAP protocol is alive or dead still?
Hey, Sgt1411!
No, the iPhone 4S doesn't text via SYNC/MFT. From what I've read, if you hit the Home button on the phone to activate SIRI, MFT thinks it's a phone call and allows you to speak to SIRI.
Unfortunately, it is not just my system (I wish it were, then I could just get it fixed and move on). This is just one of the bugs that still has to be fixed hopefully in the next "left of the decimal point" software release.
I agree, the few times I used Siri, I was surprised it cut in to car audio right away. I have not found Siri as useful as some (speech recognition still has issues) but it is better than Ford's built in system and is really good for a first effort (well second anyway, I got the Siri app for my iPhone 3GS before Apple bought Siri). I am wondering about Apple's announcement that they are working on car integration and Siri. I wish we could get more details because of they integrate it with Ford Sync/MFT (which I kindof doubt), I would be really happy.
Please private message me your VIN and the details of what's going on with your MFT, Rocketfan. I'll look into your concern and we can go from there.
