iOS 5 Bluetooth ford problem

Pull the Sync Fuse Module. This should take care of the problem, or you can disconnect your car battery, then reconnect and it should work fine. I am FORD Dealer in Southeast Ga and had the same problem, but easily fixed it with the fuse taken out, the replacing after 15 seconds

Steve, thanks for your reply. 🙂

Where can I find the Sync Fuse Module? I am happy to give it a go and see if it makes a change.

Thanks

Rob

I have a 2010 Escape Hybrid and my fuse panel is on the right passenger side of the center console. Your owners manual can tell you exactly where it is, but it will be ether under the steering wheel or on the passenger side under the glove box area. The manual will also tell you which 15 amp fuse it is, mine was Number 3

I have just purchased a Subaru XV about 2 months ago, and until latest Apple upgrade was very impressed with my iphone3gs BT connection, even updating my phone book each time I updated it on my PC? Now I can only get intermittent connection - apple please sort this ASAP.

I just noticed yesterday that my i phone 5 will not show u p the phone contacts anymore (Ford Mondeo titaniun x 2010).So i got hold of my sons i phone 4 running 5.1 and it works fine .So looks as if its the phone and not the car.

If someone phones me then yes i can answer the call but its a pain when you want to make an outgoing call as there are no numbers /contacts listed on the screen now .

I also tried an Htc this morning and it also worked fine listing all the contacts !!!!!.

I have the same car and the same phone and have no problems. Contacts, last calls, incoming, outgoing, song names and artists all there. Even Tunein radio app diplays the station being streamed and Youtube clips content is shown on the car's display. I even found that before I got my iPhone 5, the IOS6 update on my old iPhone 4 worked perfectly.

Maybe try Settings, Bluetooth, Ford Audio, 'Forget this device' and then repair it. If that fails, reboot your radio by pressing the off button on the unit for about 30 seconds then try again. If that fails, all I can suggest is to go to your Ford Dealer. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info ill give it a try .

I pulled the radio fuse and i can now see the contacts on the radio display but they will not show up in the converse in the middle of the dash .It just has square boxes?.

Mmm, that's wierd! I checked mina again thos morning and, honestly, everythign is perfect.

Have you tried the software 'patch' mentioned in earlier posts? I was having real issues until I tried that, then from then on it all worked fine.

sorry re the typos...in a hurry!

I thought about re setting the radio as i read it on the net to clear the radio /system but i have read through the manual and i does not say how to do it. i thought that it might do this when i pulled the radio fuse but i guess not . .Strange thing is there are hotmail contacts coming up as well as phone contacts !! The fact that it works and shows up on the radio but not the converse screen is very annoying .

I purchased the iphone 5 and quickly found out the Bluetooth was not compatible with my Infinti. I had the apple tech guy on the phone with Infiniti and they flat out told me the iphone 5 is not compatible. The Infiniti guy said its NOT compatible with most autos including Nissan, Toyota, Lexus, BMW, and Ford. I have asked everyone I know with the iphone 5 and every person reports it does NOT work. I returned the phone and reactivated my old iphone 3 that works just fine. Remember you have 14 days to return the phone for a full refund!

I am sorry, the information you have been given is incorrect and just a cop out from your Infiniti Dealer. I work in Australia, consulting to the Motor Industry, and I have personally paired my iphone 5 to many Fords, BMW's, Audis, VW's, Toyotas, Hyundais, Mercedes, Mazda.etc...in fact I have not had a problem to date connecting my phone to any car, although I have not tried to pair it with an Infiniti.

I am assuming that the software we have here in the cars is the same as yours, but maybe not. If not, get them to fix it.

I suggest you find someone in the Dealership who knows what they are talking about or take the issue directly to Nissan/Infiniti Head Office.

Ok a quick question, amongst all these many makes and models of cars you have successfully paired your iPhone 5 with, have you played music over these cars built in Blutooth systems for longer then 20 minutes? Because that is when the problems occor.

You hold down the on button for more then 30 seconds, not sure if the radio or ignition has to be switched on though?

And for those in Europe with Ford car problems Ford did release a firmware update for the car audio systems last month, I tried it though and it hasn't fixed my problem but I am yet to fully reset my radio which I am going to do when I get round to it.
