Stoney871 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Gracenote is a pain.It kills all your album art with genre images.Switch Gracenote off and remove all track titles with mp3tag.If you just save the files using their file names alone (plus correct track number) they play in the right order.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suddste Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 F6 is good, I think a good test of it was round 3 big cities in Europe and mostly worked fine the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'm hanging off from doing that till I find out if they are changing the actual cars maps over to waze, or if that is only going to be an applink feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Waze will work through the appoint feature at some point this month. https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/26/ford-adds-waze-to-its-sync-3-applink-for-ios-users/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 See, what confuses me from applink side is......"Other SYNC 3-enabled Ford vehicles can receive an over-the-air update or an update via USB to enable Waze functionality" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 On my current here maps on sync 3 I think they shouldve made an on screen shortcut to the traffic option as currently you have to show controls then the 3 lines to get into it. I know not everything can be on the screen but feel it quite important to check in on that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
