Iphone 6 and Ford Sync Bluetooth Does Not Work

Wrong. It is Apple's problem. You are expecting everyone else to update because Apple chose to. Each new phone or update I get causes something to change on how my phone interacts with my 2009 Ford Explorer. I have changed nothing in the truck. I read in one of these forums to try turning off "Handoff" Fixed my problem. Yeah, it's Apple's problem. NOT Ford's.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus, after the recent update with the IOS neither my wife's phone or my phone will work with SYNC.. This is ridiculous. How can a modern bluetooth arrangement be troubled by an iOS update?

I am having that same problem in my 2012 Focus with Sync. Hopefully they will do something soon about it.

Iit's not Apple's problem to fix.

Look for Ford to release an update or do some troubleshooting to fix it.

Yeah...that will never happen. Haven't seen an update since I bought the thing in 2012.

Just made an ice cream run.

Made a phone call using my iPhone 6 over bluetooth in my Ford Focus 2014, worked just fine.

Only thing I did was synch my iphone, downloaded phone book and set as primary device.

I had the same problem on 2013 Ford Raptor. Reset network connections and delete phone from MFT and then pair again. You will also have to re enter your password for wifi networks

I just called the sync 877 945-3648# and a nice lady got my iPhone6 paired with my 2014 Escape. Give her a try.

I had a similar problem with my 2011 Ford Fusion and brand new iPhone 6 received yesterday. I restored my iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6 when I received it. My iPhone 6 has the same device name as the iPhone 5 did. I was able to pair my iPhone 6 with Sync easily, but Sync would only ring on incoming calls. I could not answer the incoming call or initiate calls through Sync. I was able to correct the problem this morning by:

1) Forgetting This Device (Sync) in the Bluetooth application in the iPhone 6,

2) Deleting All Devices in the Sync Phone Bluetooth menu.

3) Re-pairing the iPhone 6 with Sync.

Apparently the same phone name stored in Sync from the iPhone 5 was corrupting the settings for the iPhone 6 using the same device name.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Similar problems with 2014 Mazda 3.

iPhone 6 Bluetooth + 2014 Mazda 3 Problems

When I tried to use the iPhone 6 over blue tooth audio to my 2014 Ford Taurus and also to my 2009 Mercury Sable I found that I had to set the iPhone volume for music to Maximum to hear the music in the car. I hope that Apple can change the blue tooth output to a higher level. If the iPhone volume is less then 3/4 of the way all you will hear is static.

My 2013 Ford Fusion with sync has the same issue. 5 seconds into the call my iPhone 6 disconnects. Music plays fine thru USB but Bluetooth will think call has ended & abruptly disconnect. I've tried resetting the system & did a master reset. Deleted all Bluetooth proflies & re-paired my iPhone & still will not work. I had to go back to using a headset in my fusion. Unbelievable that they would not have tested this before releasing as ford & Apple are supposed to be working together....

Apple would have to test against every car maker that has Bluetooth and that is a lot. I expect to see some updates in the near future to cover this. In the mean time, I find if you initiate the call using Sync instead of the phone, it works better.

There are so many variable with car systems. There are several threads on this and many have found a solution. I recommend you do a search on some of the threads as you may find the solution that will work for your car system.

I've already had one update on a 2013 Fusion. You may want to check the following site: https://support.ford.com/tools/account/sync-software
