Sync Phone commands

[Adair]

OK, so it says that the *Phone is always on* and there is no need to say *Phone*, but with mine, I cannot initiate a call without saying *Phone* first.  I tried again tonite on the way home. Pulled the flipper and it said *Say a command*. I said, *Call....................on cell!* It said, *Please say a command*. I said, *Phone*. *Phone, say a command* I said, " Call................on cell* It said, * Say a command, such as.......................* AAARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!! Finally, after 4 tries, I got my call thru. Does SYNC not like cold weather or something?

Try using short and abrupt commands such as "Call Home" or "Call Sue". I have better success since I started using that technique.

Thanks DarrellD, I'll try tomorrow morning. I'm used to voice dialing w/my Bluetooth earbud/phone combo, and in the beginning SYNC worked for me....just lately it seems to be stubborn!

I discovered this by accident when the wife, a native of Long Island, had no problems with Sync understanding any command. She told me to talk to Sync like its a New Yorker.

My works just fine and I do what Darrell does and  I say, Call home, call Ray,, call Shirley etc.

I have experienced similar issues intermittently. Sync: Listening...me: Call at home...Sync: Calling at home...then nothing...repeating once or twice more does the trick for me...annoying when it happens and it does seem to be when I first get into my car.

Yes, I've had that too, DavidJE. It will appear to connect, then the radio will come back on...........go figure!

 

Where are you in MI, David? I'm in Milan, south of A2. I have only seen 1 C-Max on the road besides mine.
