IOS 8.4 & Sync = No Bueno

[Deleted member 12951]

Yes, I have used the new Music app via USB and it was also charging just fine, its not a fast charge like plugging in the wall but it never has. I do have the NAV system.

2011 w/ nav works. Still wish sync would allow an option for BT to be the primary source and not line in..

I updated as it fixes the text message bug. What Sync version in what year Truck? I have a 2014 and have no issues since the update.

I have an iPhone 5S. How do I get it to read text messages?

You don't with these systems. I think he meant it fixes other issues not related to the truck.....

Don't update to IOS 8.4 if you still wish to use Sync... It worked half of yesterday but now just freezes. A Google search confirmed widespread issues w/ non-nav, older Sync (2012 in my case). Owner.Ford.Com shows I'm up to date with Sync software. Maybe Crystal will see this thread and magically fix it!...

Hi, Plan B!

Questions about Sync are best addressed by my colleagues on the in-vehicle technology team. They're here on the forum under the name FordIVTTeam; here's a link to their profile: FordIVTTeam

No version of iOS works with Sync for text messages. Even though my wife's crappy system in her Nissan works just fine.

The bug that I speak of with text messaging is the one with iOS 8.3 (or lower?) that causes your phone to reboot and can no longer get into the text messaging app on the phone if someone sends you a crafty text message. Provide your cell number and I will show you then you can entertain your friends. LOL

Hey BABaracus, 2014RubyRed, and RDFTS,

Thanks for looping us in Crystal. iPhones with at least iOS 6 have the option to listen to text through SYNC. You must turn on SHOW NOTIFICATIONS in your device's Bluetooth settings: Text Messaging with SYNC | SYNC Help | Official Ford Owner Site You cannot send messages out no matter which version of SYNC or iPhone.

Although the article mentions MyFord Touch, the instructions are for your phone and works for all systems. It's best to check your Owner account for updates as well: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html

Very cool. Learn something new every day. Tested it out and sure enough they show on the screen. I have it set to do Text to Speech but when it showed on the screen, it gave me choices of Listen, View or Delete. Is there a way to just have it do both (listen and view) without prompting for action first?
