Hope that helps! Reach out if you have other questions.

This misses my point. I know you'll always recommend going to the dealer for liability reasons, I get that. But I am not about to subscribe to a website just to get some torque specs or a verification from ford on how to perform a procedure without the various replies from people who may it may not know the real answer. I am not a big diy'r when it comes to auto repairs, ill never subscribe to that site, but goo to know its there for people who do.

I have a thumb drive that works flawlessly but updating that sucks compared to just syncing my ipod
As far as sound quality goes, I've ever newer generation iPods works better, dsg2003mach1.

When the system stops recognizing commands, have you tried soft resetting your iPod? If not, I recommend it:

I'll pass your feedback along, Pale Screw & Melwinn.

Hi, kulak -

If your mom truck doesn't have MyFord Touch, it did not come with a 3-year subscription to SYNC Services, but she can still utilize the SYNC system for hands-free calls, and playing music.

A SYNC Services subscription is available for $60 a year:

yes, Ive done the soft reset and everything else in the world. Ive run the sync my itunes or whatever software it is and it fixed every problem it found. When that was done I master reset sync and wiped my ipod and installed all the corrected files, 3 weeks later its the same old crap and I havent bothered to try it again since

The way I read this from the website it looks like it's suppose to come with basic sync. Looks like if you have MyFord touch you have to buy it. She doesn't have MyFord touch yet is missing the free service.
SYNC Services is complimentary for three years on most 2013 and 2014 Ford vehicles. Vehicles built with SYNC with MyFord® will require a subscription fee from the onset of service

Does this happen with both the 60GB and 20GB?

The website states the following: Vehicles built with SYNC with MyFord® will require a subscription fee from the onset of service.

The naming is vary similar; if your mom doesn't have MyFord Touch, she has MyFord (which does not include SYNC Services).

This link offers a good breakdown of each system:

rdkev,

I responded to another thread you posted on. Let me know if you want me to arrange a follow-up call with your CSM.
