iNVADER84 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hit here, is anyone aware of a system update for the Focus, assuming this is ever meant to happen? I noticed an ad for a Fiesta the other day doing texts and this isn't an option on my 2012 Tit X, however, one assumes that the systems must be pretty similar?

Preee Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What you saw was SYNC , it is an extra module fitted to the car which allows text message reading and emergency dialing in the event of an accident. It would not be a case of simply adding the extra module it would have to be compatible with the stereo and bluetooth unit which would probably need updating. Down side of SYNC is that for the time being it does not do Climate control via voice at the moment, and a few have reported voice recognition problems.

Enduser Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Text reading is also subject to that option being available from your phone provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The NecroPoster strikes again!!! Mwahahahahaaaaaaa!!! 😨😨😨😨 Actually are you sure about that? The text message info is passed from phone to SYNC via bluetooth and I would have thought has nothing to do with provider, otherwise similar accessibility features of the phone itself likely would not work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo17 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 My iPhone doesn’t but my old windows phone did. On another note I have in my menu applink. Is that on sync 1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduser Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I seem to remember it saying this in the Ford Handbook that came with the car. In my car, with the Sony head unit, the option is there but under texts it says 'empty', but there many texts in my phone, so I have assumed that O2 don't support that option.

iantt Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It's phone dependant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
