So I was just thinking while trying to pair my new iPhone 4 with the MFT system yesterday, that with all the bad press on the MFT systems in these cars, what has that done to any resale value? I know that most cars are worthless for resale value after you drive them off the lot, but could this be causing a bigger gap? What if the MFT update in 2012 doesn't fix anything? Who should be responsible here? I in good faith plunked down my hard earned money to purchase something I believed would function as advertised. Not as advertised in a year!
The paring of the iPhone 4 last night went like this:
1. Pair phone.
2. Looked at phone book on MFT screen, says it's downloading.
3. Checked again, said download complete. No contacts listed. The phone has 25 contacts!
4. Then had issues getting the phone to stay paired. Removed from MFT system, Removed from iPhone, repaired, re-downloaded phone book, now some of the contacts show up.
5. After a couple of "turn the key off/open the door" sessions, got the phone paired and all contacts showing. It just shouldn't be this hard!!
I also own a 2011 F150 with the sync system and the Sony sound system and have never had an issue. The phone pairs and connects in seconds, iPod always plays, NEVER AN ISSUE.
I've read some peoples comments about a class action suit against Ford on this. Where do we start??
Yes, mine has been to the dealer, had multiple parts replaced. (Did finally manage to get the streaking windows fixed), but this MFT system needs serious help.
What are our options?
