Even the great-grandson of Henry Ford experienced problems with Ford's Sync From the 11 OCT 2016 ComputerWorld.com http://www.computerworld.com/article/3130067/car-tech/ford-engineer-called-myford-touch-infotainment-system-a-polished-turd.html Above article refers to articles in 7 OCT 2016 Detroit News http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2016/10/06/myford-touch-system-suit/91704242/ and 30 SEP 2015 article in class action lawsuit for multiple states https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/myfordtouch/myfordtouch_hagens_berman_third_amended_complaint_redacted_.pdf -
Hi there, Ford has decided to dump the "Sync with My Ford Touch" deal with Microsoft and go with a QNX system in the 2016 models but it sounds like they aren't going to offer that as an upgrade install for current owners. Like a lot of people (and Ford itself, apparently) find the My Ford Touch system kind of crummy but I'm not going to go buy a whole new vehicle to get a stereo upgrade. I'm curious if anyone's been able to or even tried installing one of the aftermarket systems running Car Play or Android Auto. There are a number of manufacturers making aftermarket systems like that but so far all I've been able to find about compatibility was from Pioneer, who stated that the Cmax needed more research. Has anyone tried this? How well does it work? are steering wheel controls functional? Is there a unit that fits well in the existing MyFord Touch space?

This today from OASIS: SSM 45215 - SYNC/MyFord And MyLincoln Touch - Navigation Displays Incorrect - Unable To Locate Vehicle - Built On Or Before 9/30/2014Some 2013-2015 vehicles equipped with SYNC and/or MyFord Touch, MyLincoln Touch and built on or before 9/30/2014 may exhibit a voice prompt indicating SYNC Services Traffic, Directions or Information (TDI) is unable to locate the vehicle. MyFord Touch equipped vehicles with navigation may also exhibit the vehicle location displayed off road from the current vehicle position, the last known vehicle location being displayed instead of current location, a screen message indicating a Navigation Fault. Reprogram the Global Positioning Satellite Module (GPSM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 96.02 or higher. -
So today, I finally got my MFT to screw up by itself - it decided to turn the "Audio Off" by itself. As well, no SYNC through the paddle either and I was so enjoying my techno audio at the time. Even multiple cold restarts did NOTHING. It took a Master Reset and an extended cold start to "reboot" the MFT. TO be fair, MFT has been pretty stable since mid 2013. Seriously, no issue whatsoever until it puked today. *sigh* I really hated Microsoft at that moment. -
Looks like version 3.6 of MFT is coming in August. http://fordtechlane.com/new-myford-touch-upgrade-to-be-released-in-august-2013/ I would expect a similar update scenario as 3.5.1 since the FE update is also supposed to come out in August. I couldn't find any word on what the update will bring. My guess is just bug fixes.
