I believe there is a mapping setting on the phone you need to turn on to get it to work. I know I had to on my S4 but I have a 2013 so may not help but worth a try. Google turning mapping on for S4. I know I had to look this up for mine because it would not work with my text messages at first.

Version 3.6.2 was not out in July and it should be available for download in your SYNC account. According to our compatibility chart, texting only works with specific firmware/OS. You can check them out here:

For what it is worth I got mine s3 ...Read on please.
 
I was having trouble. When I originally paired this phone last week I could call, Pandora, Iheart, and audio through blue tooth. The one thing I liked about my Sport Trac was my text on my nav screen.


I went looking, and I came across this page. http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...ford-sync.html


While it did not pertain to my S3. It did let me know that there was another settings available after you sync you phone. This is how I did it. (From Memory)


1. I had to go turn on MAP Setting on the truck. [It is under system, advanced, map settings. Pretty sure] I turned it to on. That alone did not get the permission screen on my phone.


2. Deleted my phone from the truck and paired it again. Pin and all. It then wanted to access map on my phone. it then wanted to download my phone book. Which I said yes.


3. I sent myself a message and it worked. It did not download my texts. Thank God.... Too many.


I just finished this 10 minutes ago, so I have no other experience. I will let you all know how it is working.


Disclosure. I am using the no touch sync. I was thinking though reading the steps might help someone.




Good Luck
