3.5.1 seems to have fixed some buggy behavior

[GreenChicago]

Good job, Ford engineers! I just got my car's MFT upgraded to 3.5.1 today, and it does seem to have fixed a few things:

 

The very good news:

1. My streaming bluetooth now accurately picks artists and track names from my iPhone 4s. I didn't have to go into iTunes and delete random metadata, which is what a few others suggested worked for them. YAY!

 

2. Bluetooth controls now work from the entertainment console. I can stop, rewind, skip, etc. using the dash controls rather than with my hands on the phone. This is a huge improvement for me, as I listen almost exclusively to streaming podcasts or music in the car, and no longer need to operate my phone to do this. Hurray for safety! (Ford: if you're reading this, why not consider an enhancement to permit 30 second rewind from MFT controls, as Apple does natively? Pretty please?)

 

The annoying, but easily fixed news:

3. The upgrade wiped out all my navigation history and destinations. Not unexpected, but a pain to program again.

 

4. As others noted, clock time was off by a random amount (not whole hours, but hours + minutes)

 

The annoying and can't yet figure out how to fix it news:

5. My garage opener thingy that I finally got working no longer works. No idea why the upgrade would have affected this, or maybe it's just coincidence. Anybody else have trouble with this feature on their SEL? OM instructions not working for me.
