    Bluetooth - "Pairing Fail"

    You're welcome, Jim! Unfortunately, I'm not able to suggest a fuse pull, but you can give your dealer a call to see if that's what they suggest. If they say yes, then you can do it; if that still doesn't correct the issue, an appointment will be needed for the dealership to diagnose and...

    Sync Voice Destination POI Entry Issues

    Hi JCrew7384, I'm glad to see you've gotten a chance to play with MyFord Touch! Are any of these the command structure you were following: Get directions to a POI when you don't know the name “Destination POI” | pause | follow prompts | pause | "Category" | pause | "<category>" Ex...

    Google Maps or Waze Directions on bluetooth

    Hey JCrew7384, The only way to hear the directions from a phone app is by having your phone connected to Bluetooth audio or USB media (depending on the phone) while the directions are being given. Hope that helps! Rebecca

    A7 navigation map for SYNC 2 released

    You are correct, Jason. The SD cards come from the factory while the vehicles are being built. If A6 is the latest during that time, then that is what's shipped with the vehicle. Rebecca

    Hi smacrae, If 911 Assist is no longer available on your Explorer, you'll have to visit your dealership to have them reinstall it. Please make an appointment to have this done, and let me know how it goes. Thanks for the referral, Peter! :) Rebecca

    Glitch since 1/25/16 "system maintenance"

    Hi Ben, The update history doesn't always mean the date you did an update. You may have run a Vehicle Health Report on 1/2/15 and the website is reflecting the version you had then. I'm glad you got everything working again. If you need any help installing 3.8, please don't hesitate to...

    SYNC Wifi Hotspot Question

    Hi Otto, From what you're saying, it seems to be working as intended. Since most phones don't have unlimited data plans and some even have to pay for tethering, this feature will turn off when you turn the vehicle off. Hope that clears this up for you! Rebecca

    Awesome; I'm glad it's working now! The switching of audio sources is a known issue with iOS 9.2 and we're working with Apple for a solution. For now, try plugging your phone in via USB to use Siri. :) Rebecca

    MFT SYNC 3.8 SIRI Eyes Free - Avail. on SYNCMYRIDE.COM for 2011-2015 Explorer

    Thanks, Peter! Hi TwoBlackStangs! I agree with Lewisra on the order of steps below. This should allow you to receive your texts via MFT, but you still won't be able to send them unless you use Siri. We are working with Apple to get a few things worked out, and you may also have to plug...

    Just Purchased a 2012 Explorer Limited

    You're welcome! Do you have a different USB that you could try? Also, after you unzipped the file, do you have SyncMyRide, Autoinstall.lst, and DONTINDX.MSA? All three of these should be on your USB. Rebecca

    MFT Performing Scheduled Maintenance Again...

    Hi TinMan4154, Try performing a master reset. Generally, that reboot is an indication of SYNC trying to resolve an issue. You can find the steps here: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/software-updates/how-to-perform-a-master-reset.html Whitney

    Hey Sixonemale, You should have a VIEW option when the text comes in. It'll look like the picture in Step 1 (or very close to it): http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/using-your-phone/how-to-listen-to-and-reply-to-text-messages-with-sync.html?sync=my-ford-touch Rebecca

    Sync card

    Hey johnnnyo! Like Jason said, you do need to keep the SD card in the slot if you want to use navigation. However, you can put music on a different SD card and listen to it that way, but I recommend getting a USB flash drive instead so you don't lose the navigation functionality while driving...

    GPS Connection Delays

    Out of curiosity, blwnsmoke, do you park in a garage at night? I do agree with Jason about your dealership needing to look at other components to diagnose and correct this. Let me know when you make your appointment to get your oil change and everything else taken care of. Rebecca

    SYNC and MapQuest

    Yes, sir, you can! In case anyone would like to read up on it, here are the links to SYNC Services ans SYNC Destinations information: http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/sync-services.html/?sync=my-ford-touch...

    SYNC and MapQuest

    It's best to setup the destinations prior to a road trip or while you're stopped. That way you can press the voice button, summon SYNC Services, and have the address populate. Since we're all about safety, the app doesn't allow you to enter information while driving. :) Rebecca
