Hi Rebecca
Just an update on the recently identified heated steering wheel icon issue after v3.2.2 update.
The bug is still there.
Ignition cycle ON the Heated Steering Wheel icon shows ON (no user activation) but wheel is not heated.
Upon user touch of the icon the wheel heats.
Only way to clear it is Master Reset but then it returns after a few ignition cycles.
Please pass on.
Rebecca, took the rig in last night, today they called and said the APIM (Sync computer) is toast. They are blaming me for removing my thumbdrive when it was obviously locked up after more than an hour. However, it is under warranty and no charge, but really? My fault? They also are not sure when the part will come in because it isn't ordered through the normal Ford parts network???

Have you added SyncMyRide.com to your Trusted Sites list, and which browser are you using?
I have a 2012 Explorer Limited. I have not been able to use the Bluetooth microphone since I purchased the car (December, 2011) because the audio quality, while driving, is just horrible for the person trying to listen to me. They complain of "water" and "wind tunnel" noises.
Has anyone who has experienced this issue ever had it resolved...either with hardware or software? Does the MFT update to 3.2 do anything?
By chance is your Ex one of the ones that needs the TSB for tin roof sound above the windshield. The TSB requires the dealer to spray sound deadening foam above the windshield in the open space directly above the microphone.
Check the TSB list above on this forum.
Hi Rebecca,
I have a motorola Atrix. It worked great with the MFT before. Since the upgrade the messaging doesn't work anymore. Everything else works. Phonebook, pics etc...

Anyone having problems getting their Samsung Galaxy S3 to read text messages with the new update? It doesn't seem to be working for me.
Hey, KanewtZ!
Have you tried a Master Reset and reboot of your phone? That has been known to help. Here are the instructions for the Master Reset:
MENU > SETTINGS > SYSTEM > MASTER RESET
Rebecca
I tried that. Didn't work.
Anyone else get this message when trying to install update?

Others are saying it's working for them. Have you tried Reverse Pairing your phone to MFT? If not, here are those instructions:
Go into your Bluetooth Settings on your phone and make sure Discoverable mode is set to always or ON.
Touch ADD A PHONE.
Touch FIND OTHER DEVICES.
When your phone shows up on the MFT screen, select it.
Type in the Pass-key of 0000 and touch ENTER.
Your phone will now ask you to enter in a Pass-key, type in 0000 and the equivalent of OK.
Both devices should now connect to each other.

Rebecca,
I have also done the reverse pairing and master reset. I am now able to connect my phone to MFT via USB cable without getting this device is not supported (Verizon Galaxy SIII) however I am still unable to get text messaging to work. When i first SYNC i get the MAP request on my phone and confirm that I want to allow it, however the messaging list stays empty. When I send a message it says it was successful however noone receives the message and when I try to update the message list it says select device but nothing is there. Any more ideas? Others have had the S3 work so I am assuming there is a MFT issue? Is there an advanced setting where I need to enable MAP through SYNC? I see other forums says to enable it, I however have not found this setting. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
