Anyone else still having these issues after Sync 4.4 is installed?
I am finally able to receive text notifications via sync now but I am unable to compose a text to send it to another persons phone. I'm using a first gen iphone 5.
Secondly after I turn the truck off and come back to it my Bluetooth is not automatically reconnecting once the truck is started, I have to manually still press "Line-in".
Is anyone else having these issues?

My Bluetooth goes to Bluetooth audio automatically every start up now, on my 2010 F150.

Yes. I updated mine a couple days ago. The BT audio now displays the song title and artist name which it didn't do before but as far as it reconnecting after the truck is turned back on, it is not doing that. I still have to cycle through past the LINE IN setting which it comes back to.
Also, my texts come in and I will get a notification. I can listen to the text. But for replying it only gives me a certain list of auto generated responses to use to reply back with. I cannot compose my own message using a keyboard. Also another issue which I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing is when my text message alerts come in, it displays the contact name as "unknown" even though my phonebook is downloaded into the system.
I am going to redownload the file from the sync site now and try everything all over again. We will see if it fixes it this time. Will keep updated here.

Is there a way to download this without buying winzip?

I went out and did a master reset and deleted my phone from sync and also deleted sync from my phone as if I was starting new.
Followed the instructions to a T. I never got the immediate install complete announcement as I was warned about on the instructions. About 8 minutes later is says installation complete with a notification on the screen. I left it alone for a good 30 minutes just in case. Came back and that notification was still on the screen so I assumed it was done. Pulled the usb and tried to hit the radio button and it said "radio not available". Hit the media button and it said "media not available". It wouldn't do anything. I shut the truck off then back on and it cleared that issue.
But after testing everything the BT audio still doesn't come back on after shutting off truck. So frustrated at this point. At least I got the song information to display on screen. So it wasn't a complete waste. It's just crazy the result of different outcomes people are getting trying to do this update. I give up

So far mine is defaulting to USB since I have a drive plugged in with music, and not going to back to BT.

So far after the 3rd time updating everything seems to be working, so if your having trouble do a master reset and clear your cell phone of any BT pairing to it and pull the phone battery out if you can. Reinstall the update again.
1st time I got the almost immediate done prompt then waited another 6-8 mins or so and got the 2nd completed prompt, 2nd time I ran the update after doing a master reset again it only gave me the finished prompt, 3rd time It did it's thing only took about 4-5 mins and didn't give any completed prompt, it just went back to line in so I waited an additional 10 mins after the thumb drive led stopped flashing just to be sure.
It now remembers all apps and voice commands to operate said apps but only if completely stopped, once I start moving a little the damn thing can't hear or understand what I'm saying just as it was before, the one thing that stuck was if I have an app playing music or just using BT audio and shut off the truck, when I come back it immediately starts right back up where it left off mid tune even.

Truck doesn't care as long as it inserts into the USB slot.
