Wickwick10_1 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Noticed that Will had put that by using the Ford "Y" cable you can get album artwork on the screen ? Has anyone else done this as I have tried and all I get is track name / artist ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickwick10_1 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Chaps don't waste your time getting your album artwork onto your new focus system as it don't have the software till next year - USA have it which is MyFord Touch but not UK so don't waste time like I have !

Will Clark IOM Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was on the understanding that you could, but due to the y cable switching the bluetooth off your phone buying a 20pound lead and picking up 3 points on you licence with a fine everytime you want to use you phone (for a crazy thing like a phone call, who would of thought of that) sounds like only an idiot would bother in my personal opinion.

Wickwick10_1 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Does not switch bluetooth off ? With "Y" cable in calls can be made and received as I did try it . So I am not an idiot thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickwick10_1 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Also may I ask what model of focus you drive as your stereo may be different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I don't think it will be possible even with updated software as the MyFord touch is a completely different thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyFord_Touch Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only post facts not guess and lead people down the wrong path. Cheers anyway will check that site out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Clark IOM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Sony head unit, if it's the case as in it don't switch off the bluetooth then fair play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi, the Sony MyFord Sync 8" touchscreen system will be coming next year.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It don't switch off bluetooth - you can't have album art ? So I take it your discussion did not involve the new Sony fitted in the new focus or is it the new one youhave ?

Will Clark IOM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yer I have the Sony system in the titanium trim, so can you conferm that the bluetooth stays on for others??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickwick10_1 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 My bluetooth works no problem calling out and receiving calls. The debate for me was being told yes album art works when clearly it doesn't ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Clark IOM Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So what's the point I having a lead for the car?? All it's doing in that case is charging your phone ciggy lighter works for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the only reason would be because some media devices don't have bluetooth and use either usb or the jack, and, as you said, to charge phones...
