Tucker Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I agree Sync is so complicated makes it frustrating to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davisjl Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I have had success getting the Sync/MLT system in my 2014 MKZ to read texts from my iPhone 5 running iOS8. As someone else here suggest you need to have notifications enabled from your iPhone.. Also when I did the update to iOS8, I needed to delete the iPhone from the paired list, then pair it up again. After turning notifications on and cycling the engine, I was back in business.... Are you trying to do it over Bluetooth... if so, it's not supported by the iPhone, although from time to time it does work on mine both with the prior version of iOS and the new iOS. I guess it just hit or miss as to when it decides to work or not. It'll go weeks working fine and then stop for a week and then work again a day or two later...

Eric McDonough Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi Davisjl, Yes I have my phone connected to the system via Bluetooth (not USB) and it has read every text that comes in while the phone is connected. I only had one hiccup once I upgraded to iOS8 which required me to un-pair the phone then follow the procedure someone posted above.. Also had to turn notifications back on under the SYNC Bluetooth profile in my phone.. Been good to go ever since. Now I have not tried to send texts, that seemed like more of a hassle - as long as I can hear em, I can reply later on.. Or call back, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been worried enough to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
