- 2008 Explorer XLT
This is my 1st post, I have been lurking here for a few weeks but this sync system is driving me crazy. My company bought this car about a month ago, 2008 Explorer XLT V6.
I am quite frustrated with the radio. I have the radio with sync (no sat nav) and I cannot get my iPhone music to play through the sync system. I can get music immediately after I pair the phone to the radio, but any time I try to use it after that I get no sound. So I need to forget and re-discover the phone constantly. My iPhone confirms it is connected and the radio display shows Sync Line In when I have bluetooth activated on the iPhone. When I turn off bluetooth on the iPhone the radio display says disconnected.
I have used plenty of bluetooth radios and this sync system is not up to par as far as I am concerned. I may be doing something wrong but every other radio I have used has worked seamlessly with the iPhone and been able to setup without reading a manual.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or is this normal? I just upgraded the sync operating software to version 1.3. Apparently there is another upgrade only the dealer can do. The local dealer said it was just like the upgrade I did, they load it with a USB drive, and the charge is $89.99.....I laughed and said no thanks.
