If you need access in advance of the consumer you can get from here:
https://developer.apple.com/programs/
You’ll also get access to beta software, advanced app capabilities, extensive beta testing tools, and app analytics.
My point here is not to you, Shaay, but to someone that might say Apple broke this by changing something in iOS.

Yep, definitely a problem with iOS 9.2 and the 3.8 MFT update. Tried it tonight for the first time. Tried to text someone using Siri and after I stopped talking it just clicked over to my Blue Tooth audio from my phone. After that though, once it was in Blue Tooth mode on Sync it worked just like it's supposed to, press the voice button for 3 seconds and Siri comes on, you ask your question and she confirms. After you are done though you have to switch back to the audio source you were listening to previously...

This is what Ford has posted so far on the Siri problem Posted Dec. 18, 2015: Some 2011 thru 2016 Ford vehicles with MyFord Touch and 3.8 software may have a symptom of Siri Eyes Free not working over Bluetooth properly with iPhones at iOS 9.2 software. Ford is currently working with Apple on a resolution for this. For the time being, having the phone plugged into the USB port allows Siri Eyes Free to operate properly. We recommend that owners of MyFord Touch-equipped vehicles have their phones plugged into the USB port to operate Siri. If plugging into the USB port causes Autoplay to start playing USB media, please note that this can be disabled, or enabled, using the process described in the owners manual.

MFT now booting to Phone screen
Curious if anyone else has seen this...
I updated both my 2015 f150 as well as my wife's 2015 explorer to the latest sync version. When our the cars are started now MFT boots to the phone screen. The Screen is blank, and the home icon is not functional. You have to go somewhere else, like Entertainment, then back to Home.
Seems to be every time the car is started. Her car has NAV, my does not. Same symptoms.
Hard Reboot perhaps ?
