Barnyg Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Has anyone applied the bluetooth software update http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/downloadsUpdates to a 2011 Focus TiTX? Didi it work ok? I applied it on my Mondeo. It allows you to use an Ipod cable rather than the Ford one & also connects your mobile much quicker. I also read somewhere that cars produced after 2011 week 36 do not need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch84 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 On a side note is the September 11 update the latest , how often do they release these updates? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi Barny Thanks for the link. Just updated mine (car delivered July 2011). My BB Curve has never worked for bluetooth music streaming but other phones have. Just done the update and now my phone works and it connected first time :) Following the instructions, my update started at 15:45 and completed at 16:00 so 15mins not 20mins as in the guide.

mitch84 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hi Ian Try this thread , a guy had a problem getting it to work on his Sony unit until he removed all the unneeded files , as there is only 2 files that you need to put on the USB stick ,its explained in the link below, it also mentions this in the faq on fords site for anyone who has problems updating http://www.fordowner...5-audio-update/ the files needed seems to be the below 8M5T-14D511-AU.BVC 8M5T-14D511-AU.VBF Also make sure there is nothing else on the usb stick and that the files are in the highest directory (no folder) Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Schwarzenegger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 what is your build date? this update seems to apply only to Focus: February 2008 - January 2012 builds Oh, well mine was built Mid February 2012 But I can't understand why mine wouldn't be included, as before April Fords website said my phone didn't have full functionality but now the website shows it does have full comparability meaning they have updated support for my phone, but I can't update mine :( My phone works as a bluetooth headset BUT I can't see the phone book so there's no contact names and I don't remember every bodies number off by heart so dialing is awkward and also trying to see who is calling me while im driving is very difficult. I have tried telling my phone to Sync my contact list with the car but the connection fails every time and I have tried manually sending contact cards via bluetooth and the car never accepts the request :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Schwarzenegger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The really irritating thing is that Fords website says that my phone has phone book support, yet it obviously doesn't as there's NOTHING about phone book when I get into my car and check the phone section out.. Pisses me off when people say something works when it doesn't and then doesn't even let me update it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I take it no-one got anywhere with this on the Focus? I had no luck getting the Nov 2012 update on my June 2012 built MK3. Are we stuck in no-mans land of after Jan 2012 but before Sync, so we get no updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
