Brent Bevil Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 No issue with mine so far. The sync and bluetooth audio work great! I did turn off the auto play with iphone option. Cool idea but I want to choose when I listen to my phones music versus every time I get in a song fires up. I do love using google maps via bluetooth. I find google maps quicker and more thought out versus the in car nav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 ive been using an ipod classic (40gb) with a broken screen for my music. Occasionally I use my phone with pandora....but with 3g, its not the best... the ipod stays plugged in and velcro'd to the side of the center console down in the bottom out of the way..

MtnMarty Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 No real problems with my iPhone 5s. I sometimes have trouble getting the audio for google maps or apple maps to come out of the synch system when plugged into the usb port. That is solved by simply using bluetooth. Of course then your battery runs down real fast, so using an external battery for long trips solves that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course then your battery runs down real fast, so using an external battery for long trips solves that problem. Get a 12v USB charger and use the "cigarette lighter" plug in front of the shifter. It also charges much faster than using the USB (aka iPod) plug inside the armrest. My wife has an iPhone 5s and it plays well with MFT. I went from a 4s to a galaxy note 3 and we ended up using it with google maps on its large screen as the NAV on a recent family trip. I plugged it into my 12 USB charger, turned it sideways, and placed it over the MFT screen! LOL For the first time and when we really wanted to use it a lot in an unfamiliar city, the factory nav decided to play the bouncing locator game usually putting us on the feeder road next to the freeway with the ensuing constant redirecting directions to get us back on the freeway. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostby Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Momentarily hijacking the iPhone thread, here's an iPhone auxiliary battery pack that could solve two problems for C-MAX owners, the auxiliary battery to recharge your iDevice, and allegedly also has enough power to jump-start your vehicle. Since the C-MAX gets starting power from the High Voltage Battery, it needs just a little power to run the 12-volt systems when the 12v battery dies, so this might work. http://junopower.com/collections/junojumpr/products/jumpr-cars-best-friend-jumpstart-cars-on-the-go Brief overview from TUAW without testing the car-startinghttp://www.tuaw.com/2014/07/14/junojumpr-jumpstart-your-iphone-and-your-car/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
