ipod problem
Ok I have an older Ipod,, when I plug it in to thur the USB the pod says I need an app to play???
Is there a requirement for the sync as far as the version on the ipod???
Shouldn't it be a plug an play system??? without the use of the voice command??
I downloaded a display thing for sync from the app store. While it was on the ipod it worked. It's not there and now it won't. Display of the options for the sync,, mostly for the mytouch version.
It's a 2013 XLT crewcab with basic sync.
thanks marc

Mine did that too.. I didn't download anything, but it still played just fine. I was able to get the voice commands to kinda work, but my Sync is pretty picky and sometimes she listens and understands and other times nothing...
Right now I'm mostly just using the bluetooth connection and that's working fine.. I still can only get her to understand me 50% of the time, so I just select the BT thru the menu. I mostly just let the ipod play all my songs at random anyway, so it works well for me..

I don't know when they came with BT, but mine is a "Touch" and not the most recent gen.. I got it just over a year ago for about $100 cheaper than the most current one at that time is all I can recall.. At the time, I didn't really care if it had BT or not..
Glad it does however!
But, when I did plug it to the USB, it did want to load some app, but I didn't do it and it still played fine thru the cable. Once I learned that Sync would work with it on the BT, that's all I've been using since.
Good luck!

I've since switched to just using my really old iPod with the USB cable and just leave it plugged in all the time and that's all I use now. It all fits in the cabinet, so you can't see it or the cable at all..
Still having issues with the microphone working about half the time, so I can hear the caller on my BT phone, but they can't hear me.. Kinda makes it useless really...
But, it plays the iPod just fine as long as you don't want to 'talk' to it..

Have you had your dealership look into this yet? They can perform tests on the microphone to see what's going on.
Let me know.

Thanks Jaclyn,
No, I've not taken it to the dealer yet. It's too random in occurrence that if it happens to be working when I take it in, there will be nothing to look at..
If it gets to the point where it's not working at all, that's when I'll take it in.
Thanks again,
Mitch

I can't say that it will take care of it, but you can also try a master reset of the system.
SYNC with MyFord:

SYNC with MyFord Touch:

Please note, it will restore settings to factory defaults.

Yes, I've done the Master Reset and paired my phone again and it connects, but still no voice commands or the caller able to hear me..
It's actually not worked the last 3-4 times I've started the truck, so maybe it's gotten to the point I can duplicate for the dealer...
I've got lots of time left on warranty (2 years) so I'll get in before then for sure.
Thanks!
