iOS 5 Bluetooth ford problem

Here is what I did (and it didn't work):

·Prepared a USB with the files on it.

·Went to the car and turned the stereo on.

·Plugged the USB into the port (in the central console, as that's the only USB port I have)

·Turned the car on (without actually turning the engine on - i.e. with the clutch pedal depressed)

No message or whatsoever appears on my display. I can see the USB is being read for a short time (like 10 secs) and then it stopps. My navigator is the DVD version though... but I can't find any specific version for my car.

Maybe there is somebody who can help!

Yes just upgraded my Ford Mondeo 10 plate, and worked first time !

🙂 😁 🙂 so happy it all works again

Here is the link below :- (thanks to Shamu 35)

Once again, thanks shamu35 .... ran the update today on my Mondeo and all appears to be good. Very relieved to have my BT back again. Thanks again!

I'd like to add that the response time when using the car's menu buttons for the bluetooth device is now much improved with this software update. The lag seems to have virtually gone now which is great news

I've successfully carried out the upgrade last night via a USB stick on my '60 plate Titanium X Sport and thought that all appeared to be working correctly except that now today I seem to be having problems automatically pairing my iPhone 4 (with IOS5) with my Mondeo everytime I start my car - I have to go into my settings on my iPhone and manually pair! I've tried debonding/Forget this device etc and re-pairing but to no avail.

Upgrade is fantastic apart from this slight issue.

Anybody else experienced/experiencing this?

Any suggested solutions to my problem?

I am about 12 minutes into this update. The message that tells me it's updating disappeared about 8mins ago and as instructed I'm just waiting out the whole 20mins.

...I seriously hope this works.

HI

Just upgraded as well, and wow it works, in fact its better than before as i now have the songs on the display, and i can now move through the songs instead of having to shake my iphone

well done ford, and well done you guys

thanks

Tried it out and I'm still getting the BT Error and the BT connection still gets cut after 20mins. I'll have to give it another shot. (2011 Ford Fiesta, iPhone 4, iOS5)

Looks like you folks in the UK got a fix, here in the USA, I checked my Ford site and there is no update to my 2011 Ford Edge with has the Ford (microsoft) MY Touch system. I have the latest updates and none newer are available for download. My 3GS with iOS5 does not pair with the bluetooth anymore and in fact the phone no longer seems to find any bluetooth devices at all. This is something Apple did with iOS5 since the same phone running iOS4.3 worked fine in the car and found other bluetooth devices. The only change was the upgrade to iOS5. Apple please acknowledge the issue, you must have changed something.....

Sadly the update keep failing on me. Literally says the update failed. Off to ford I go this weekend.

I hate you sometimes Apple. This wouldn't have happened if backward compatibility was built in. Of course, you were never known to be an advocate for backward compatibility.

Hi Toshi,

quick question to you and all who will like to provide me with a feedback.

I updated yesterday my Ford Bluetooth software, following the instructions on the website you cited. It seemed that everything had gone fine, apart for the fact that the radio didn't mute during the upgrade (as it should have been) and that there was no "successful update" message in the end.

Now I have in the phone section of the audio systems my address book, callers' lists and radio signal strength back. Also music played via Bluetooth works fine: music is played with no problem at all, no more error messages, no ore mute after a while, I can also see songs titles now.

My questions are the followings:

1. I now see repeat, shuffle, scan and info buttons in the music via Bluetooth screen: however, I can only use shuffle and info since the other two does not work at all. Is this something happening to you, too?

2. Sometimes when I skip from one song to another using wheel commands the title of the song freezes, in the sense that you play a given song but the car displays still the title of the previous one. Do you experience a similar behavior?

My questions are just to try to understand if my upgrade was only partially successful and therefore if this is the case to try to install it again.

Many thanks in advance to you and all those who will be so kind to provide me with a feedback.

Cheers,

Riccardo

Riccardo, my focus is doing the same as yours, post update.

In that only the shuffle and info button available and occasionally when I skip forward the pervious track info remains. This can be solved by skipping forward again.

To be honest compared to the hellish problems before the update I can live with these small issues

Hi Geo,

glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing these small issues. Thank you for the feedback, appreciated.

And I couldn't agree more with you: compared to the past inferno, now we are in heaven... ;-)

Cheers,

Rick

Anyone else getting an error attempting this update? 😟

Took my 11 plate fiesta into local ford dealer yesterday for some minor warranty work, they also updated the radio software good news But! seem to be having the same problems with the song titles sticking and not being able to use the right side info buttons but hey ho can live with that.
