Caller ID on Main display - can it be turned off?

[LightingBug]

Hey all-

I tried my owner's manual as well as a few searches on this forum with no luck so thanks in advance for anyone that knows the answer to this question:

I have the newest MFT and SYNC updates and use an iPhone 5 if that matters for this issue.

Is there any way to turn off the caller ID on the main display but leave it on with the second display (the one near the speedometer)?

I would like to see the caller ID on the screen that only I can see but not on the large screen that anyone in the vehicle can see.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Logan

I don't know for sure but I would think that it isn't possible to do what you wish. Unless someone else has the answer, I would suggest that you send a PM to Rebecca (FordIVTteam). She should be able to advise you. You can use this link; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=181992

Good luck.

There are no privacy options in MFT that can do this.
When a call comes in and you answer it, the MFT Phone screen is displayed automatically showing contact details if any, regardless of what screen you were in before the call.

After the call ends, you will not be returned to view any screen you were on prior to the call, but if you were listening to Audio before the call, the audio will continue.
The MFT screen will stay on Phone until you manually change it.

Hi, Logan,
