GreenChicago Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I jinxed myself. Well I never should have posted "good job Ford engineers" following my car's update yesterday, because now my phone won't sync or be recognized at all. Help? I have an iPhone 4s, bluetooth is turned on, and I've deleted the phone from the car's history to start fresh. When I attempt to add a new device, I keep getting the "timeout" message that no phone is found or is not discoverable. Dang you, Ford engineers! Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone suggest something short of going back to the dealership? Grrrrrr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus 3 golfer Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) NOPE, Syncing my iPhone 4 was much easier than before my 3.5.1 update. Just followed the instructions on the MFT screen. Does your iPhone indicate it is in discoverable mode when bluetooth is on? Edited June 4, 2013 by Plus 3 Golfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingrider01 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 did you delete the definition from the Iphone also? When you look at the bluetooth screen in the setup does it show as discoverable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wab Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Might be time for a Master Reset. This might be the last step in the update and the tech didn't/ran out of time/has done 3 now thinks he doesn't need the manual/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted the sync profile from the phone to avoid confusing the car, but that doesn't seem to have helped matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone shows discoverable, but it never actually pairs with the car. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanotos Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Have you tried rebooting the iPhone? Hold on power button even after the 'slide to power off' until the iphone turns off. Wait 5 minutes and power back on. That might help. Edited June 5, 2013 by xanotos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenChicago Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm headed back to the service bay on this one. I stopped by as they were closing yesterday, and the one and only "sync guru" dude couldn't figure it out, so looks like it needs further attention. Boo hiss. Hopefully nothing major.
