Thanks for the video. I own a 2013 Ford C-Max. The dashboard is very similar to the car in the video. But I have problems trying to connect the phone to the car’s Bluetooth, and all the Bluetooth related buttons are ineffective and do not work. Where is the problem and what should I do?
Thank you for publishing this video! I just purchased a 2013 Ford Escape SE, but the dashboard is very similar to what you've shown. I had so many problems trying to connect my phone, but after watching this, it only took but a few minutes. You're great!
It’s ridiculous that I have to say Bluetooth audio, or press a series of buttons to get my Bluetooth to play music every time I get in my car. Why won’t it just connect to music inmediately
@@user-hk1fx4in6cThe buttons to press to get to Bluetooth audio are as follows: hit the physical menu button on the console, go into media settings, select source, then select your phone. Why they don’t have it automatically play the audio from the phone when it connects, incompetence. They need to fire whoever designed the user interface for the car. This is a case study for bad UI. It would be even better if they made the code to the media center open source so that users can fix annoyances and add features as technology progresses.
@@bensonboys6609 Thank you for the reply I appreciate it. I ended up returning the car because the TCM was broken. If you are interested you can google "ford transmission TCM" and they have info about the lawsuit on their website.
Thank you for this video! I just purchased a Ford Escape SE and they didn't tell me ANYTHING about the features. I had to google and look on TH-cam and learn cool new features every day.
I purchased my 2015 Ford Escape 7 yrs ago & It took me this long to find this video & find out why I kept hanging up on all my incoming calls. Lol. Thank you for the great tutorial.👍
For some reason the Bluetooth audio only works for phone calls and doesn’t connect to play music. The music is playing on my phone but not being transmitted to the car speaker. Would you know how to fix it ?
@@ciearra6573 Thanks girl! Can you explain this some more. Still having trouble. And I never have trouble connecting to bluetooth in any other car! Thank you sooooo much in advance! 💖💛💖💖
Thank you so much for your video; please, how can I use the self-parking features on this car? There is a P button at the bottom of the temperature setting

Any other Help would be appreciated
I have a problem with Sync media...it doesn't work from yesterday and also in the menu sync media is light and just I can use the call...can you help me?
So can you use the phone sync to just sync up an iPod touch to play music??? I just bought my Focus this past Saturday, and I have just been using the USB port, which seems to have a mind of its own....if I could just use bluetooth that would be amazing!
This tutorial has really helped me I couldn't remember how to delete and add devices in my car lol I was listening to the radio for days & finally I found a video that revived the purpose of me syncing music from my phone to my car thanks 🎶
I don't understand why this unit the same as mine does not show the song name and title yet my partners 2013 fiesta does this sync system is a newer version so don't understand that.
You did a great job explaining it all except the pad with the numbers on it. It's like a phone pad...it has the numbers 0 thru 9. Is this where you can dial through the dash and not have to worry about getting your phone out.????
I bought a used 2012 Ford Focus sedan. I cannot connect my phone no matter how much I try. Would it have already had to be “equipped “ or does it just come with it? Meaning I don’t know if previous owner had the sync or Bluetooth but it won’t connect so does that mean I don’t have the capability??? Ty in advance
Hello! It's very good this video, but I would like your help with my ford escape.. once I connect my iPhone and try to make a call the other person can't hear me...

I just bought a 2014 focus with a radio like the one in your video. My question is, is the interface suppose to light at night? the cd, radio, phone, menu, etc? Mine does not . Just wondering because the sales guy told me they don't. I can't seem to find any tutorial showing the radio interface lighted. Just wondering. Very difficult to see those functions driving at night.
I just bought my 2016 Fiesta from Birmingham, England! It has this exact info-tainment system (steering wheel controls are different) but your explanations have unlocked quite a few doors to my understanding, as the Owner's Manual is severely lacking. THANK YOU!
Navigation system as in taking a trip and getting the directions.. how do you program it? When you press the little man speak button, she asks about a route..
Hi I was wondering if you could give me some advice. We have a Ford focus and did a reset of the radio display area by holding down ok as we turn on the ignition but since then the buttons where the radio display are (radio, aux, CD, etc) don't illuminate unless the engine is turned off. I was wondering if there is a way of changing this so that these buttons illuminate as when driving at night I cannot see any of these buttons. Many thanks in advance
I have to say phone then call John Doe on cell. It starts giving me options on calling John Doe (at home, at work or cell. He’s listed only one way in phone book) it also give me names that are not even associated with my phone book. I have deleted devices, did a master reset and a sync reset. It still does it. I’m sure even though my car was bought used it still has the previous owner’s contacts
I am buying a used mustang. In my car I have right now (I have a Chevy Cobalt), I have a USB port in the radio dash. I put all my songs on flash drives and play music through only THAT. what mustangs can I get that have a USB port for the radio? for instance do BASE mustangs come with one? Do I need to get a PREMIUM to get one? what Mustangs come with a SYNC system? any particular YEARS or do ALL or just SOME come with it? been searching the web and not finding any answers about the usb port. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the tutorial! Im not sure if you still answer to comments since this video is getting old. I am wondering how can I setup my bluetooth to recognize and auto swap to bluetooth music on my phone? Because I have to go in the settings everytime to switch from usb or line in to the bluetooth music media. Thanks again!
So I got my Bluetooth connected. But music doesn’t play through the speakers. Occasionally something will come through but besides that it’s silent when the song is playing. Anybody able to help?
There is no "phone" button in my Focus 2012. To the right the numeric pad only has numbers 1 to 6 while the button options on the left are - CD, Audio, AUX, Sound and Menu from top to bottom.
Why sync tell me, the currently contact is not available on phone book ! if the phone book contact was downloading following the procedure ? any advise or anybody with same issue, I will appreciate
how do i change the language on this system......i just purcgasted a used 2014 ford escape and i have yet found houw to change the language to English from spanish
Nope - I was given a 2012 Ford Focus with a very, very early version of the software (SYNC 1, v3.1.6.c) and after doing a master reset, the system and my phone took numerous attempts to even make the initial connection. After that, the "features" of this 10+ year old software are obsolete and not compatible with modern phones. It doesn't really do much at all, including play the audio of streaming apps on the phone, etc. If you dial the phone it will play the audio of a call over the speakers. That's about all I could get it to do.
Excellent tutorial. Just bought a Ford and didn't know a thing about the system. Thank you.
