Ford Sync 1.x iOS 10.0.2 Bluetooth Issue

Go to Settings/Do not disturb/Activate. And set Bluetooth to “when connected to car bluetooth”. Then try to sync again

I have the same issue - I can't answer incoming calls without going to phone and then back to Bluetooth. Did you ever find a fix?

I'm having the exact same problem with my iPhone 7 plus in my 2011 Ford Explorer. It only started when I upgraded to the iPhone 7 plus and downloaded the latest iOS 10.2 Apple need to fix this issue with Bluetooth connections. Now when I have a call I have to change my phone to speaker and put my phone as close to me as I can so that I can talk hands free. This is crazy. APPLE please take action!

SO MY question to someone - anyone is, How do you get Apple to at least look into the possibility that just maybe this issue is their problem. I've been told its a Ford problem - not it is NOT. Apple, come on.

Does anyone have a link to a site - not this site - where we can inform them of a problem with their blue tooth, Frankly I don't think anyone at Apple is reading these comments.

I recently took my f150 into the dealership thinking it had something to do with the truck.

They did an update for just over$200, and my phone still drops calls.....

Then I synced up my work phone (iPhone 6) to my truck and had no issues.

So what does a guy do?

My phone always connects then drops picks up again, then drops....

Had a thirty minute call and my phone dropped 3 times

I have the issue too. My new iPhone 7 Plus skips, stutters, and drops out randomly when bluetooth is used to connect to my Ford Sync system. I actually even brought my first iPhone 7+ back to the Apple Store for an exchange (thinking that the phone was defective), but the replacement does the same thing. It is so disappointing. I had relied on that integration for navigation directions, hands-free calls, and music that I could access with siri commands. Driving is significantly more dangerous now. I hope nobody gets killed.

I have the exact same issue too since updating to iOS 10. I'm getting a family member come round and check with a Android phone to eliminate the head unit being faulty.

I am having the same issue. iPhone 6 worked fine with Sync on iOS 10.0.1 then when I updated yesterday to 10.0.2 it no longer works. Upgraded my phone to a 7 Plus yesterday afternoon and the update installed during setup and again it does not work with Sync.

Wow, so it is unique to iOS 10.0.2? That means that it is not the hardware of the iPhone 7 itself. And that Apple can fix it through an OTA update. impatiently waiting. . .

Because the employees who make Apple software do not actually monitor these forums, it would help if the other people experiencing this issue would let them know that there is a problem to fix. I have just now done so.

Further on from my first comment.

I had a family come round to mine and look for my sync via his android phone and he couldn't see it in his bluetooth devices. I then went into his car with my Iphone and easily picked up his in car bluetooth.

i suspect I have a faulty bluetooth unit and the car is being looked at next Tuesday by a Ford dealership

HI,

After upgrade to 10.0.2, my iPhone stopped to reconnect to the Bluetooth itself of my head unit of my car.

That was broken in iOS 9, sorted out in iOS 10.0.1 and it's broken in 10.0.2.

So sad 😟

Cheers

I have done the same. Everyone that's having this issue should report it.

Mine happened with 10.0.1 update and not fixed with 10.0.2. I can stream music, makes hand-free calls, but if someone calls me, as soon as I answer the call, the line goes "silent'. It doesn't hang up, but silence on both sides of the call. I can switch to the iPhone (speaker or non-speaker) to converse, but it defeats the purpose of "auto hands-free". Grrr.
