Ross M Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Good Morning One & All, As the topic header says, I have recently updated my iPhone 4S to the new operating system. However, upon doing this I have noticed that 9 out of 10 times the car will simply not skip the songs on my phone. This applies to both the radio console and the steering wheel buttons. As I have mentioned, this occasionally works, but before I reset my phone (which I cannot be bothered to do) I wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue. And if they have, does anyone have any help / pointers on how to sort this so very frustrating issue out. I have tried unpairing the phone, deleting off as paired device and so on. The dealer where I bought the car from had the salesman connect and skip the songs ok on there iPhone and skipping songs. I am no mind that it is bug within my iPhone software and it will need backing up and redoing, but I would like to try and eliminate as many things as I can. Thanks One & All for your time reading this. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Have you tried deleting your phone from the car bluetooth and paired it again? Might be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Sometimes ford bring out updates for head unit software to make the bluetooth compatible with the latest phones. I had to do this on my focus st a while back. Not sure if it will be the same though? Or perhaps the update will come from Ford in time? Try taking a look at this anyway to see if it helps: Ford Audio Update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross M Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yes I have. It's so frustrating as it maybe one day out of the week it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollies122 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 My update to ios7 for the iPhone 5 seemed to work, but some people seem to need the ford update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross M Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Cheers Ollie! 👍 I think this is the last avenue for me to explore before a reset of the iPhone. It's a 4s so I wonder if that's something to do with it... Come to think of it, the dealer had a 5 and it worked 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollies122 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 can't see it been the phone's issue as sometimes i de bond my phone and link the GF's for long journeys so she can listen to her music and she has a 4's and worked fine on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
