Thanks

Hi, segen77 & XtraLargeTall -

The S4 supports text messaging on SYNC with certain carrier. Here's the link to our compatibility chart for details:

If your truck is equipped with MyFord Touch, XtraLargeTall, take a look at this one:

Since the new update my pandora doesn't resume play any more. If I had it playing and got out of the truck it would stop but as soon as I got back into the truck and it reconnected the music would automatically start playing. This assumed I didn't close pandora. It was cool and now it is not so cool.

Hey, doolyd -

Which update did you have performed? I'd like to look into this and/or report it.

I just got an s4 coming from an iPhone. Can u only play music through bluetooth audio? I plugged my phone in with the cord and tried but it keeps saying "no bluetooth device".

Hi, blyons808 -

Per the above compatibility chart, playing music via USB and charging is not supported.

Hey, BearDeXPS -

If you choose REPLY TO MESSAGE, SYNC will take you back to the
text messaging menu and allow you to again cycle through the list of
predefined messages to send.

I wasn't aware that SYNC changed in 2011. What changed? I have a 2009 so I'm in the same boat anyways.

MyFord Touch was released in 2011, but was not available for the F-150 until this year, XtraLargeTall.

Hey, trailblazen -

Shoot me a PM with your VIN and I'll see if the update that's available for your vehicle adds text messaging support.
Give me a shout if you have any additional questions.

I didn't see the Galaxy S4 listed as compatible on the list when sorting by SMS Text.

I have verizon. Did I miss something?

It's just a bummer that it doesn't work.

Google removed the Message Access Profile (MAP) protocol from Jelly Bean around the 4.1.2 release. I have a 2010 F150 and a Droid RAZR MAXX on Verizon that worked together before the phone updated to Jelly Bean (4.1.2).

Now granted both of our vehicles are 2013's with the MFT system with Nav and all options but both phones on both systems work great. I don't know if it matters but my Note 2 is on AT&T and her S4 is on T-Mobile.

SMS text messaging is not currently compatible on the Gen 1 system with the S4.

I apologize, I had the MyFord Touch chart up when I replied to your previous post.

I would try to help you but I have the 2012 system with s4 and it works and I can respond to text with pre made text

This is exactly it, and a load of crap if you ask me. It works on my wifes 2013 focus (just about the only thing that works on that POS sync system). Doesn't work on my 2010 which is a much more stable sync system. It's so frustrating.

I just noticed I can't call out thru my touch screen... I have to voice command (which is kind of annoying) or scroll & call thru my phone.

EDIT - '13 FX4 MyFord / GS4

We had her car at the dealer in July so if it was out then it was applied. It's the third time we've had the car in for the same issues. Honestly, it would be in even more than that if we could actually afford to be without it. We need both cars on a daily basis.
