Jez Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I got my Ford Fiesta Edge about a year ago, and until now the bluetooth connectivity has been working fine, but I've got a feeling that now, some firmware bug has occurred. :( My phone (Android htc Desire S) no longer pairs with the Ford Audio automatically, or indeed at all. If I go into 'Phone' in the menu, and try to even turn bluetooth off, the bluetooth checkbox briefly unchecks and then gets checked again. I can't even seem to turn the Ford sound system's Bluetooth off. Can't pair the phone with the sound system, I just get the error "HTC Desire S Activation Failed"; can't debond the device either; nothing happens. Does anyone know what might be the problem here and how I might fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Have you changed the security settings on your phone at all. They need to be disabled, but not sure how on your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Can you get in the bluetooth menu on the stereo to debond your phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Have you changed the security settings on your phone at all. They need to be disabled, but not sure how on your phone. No I haven't changed them, but I don't think that's the problem, because bluetooth was working fine until a few days ago when it suddenly stopped. Can you get in the Bluetooth menu on the stereo to debond your phone? I can get into the menu, and when I press 'debond' it asks whether i'm sure; I press 'Yes', and nothing happens. The phone doesn't appear debonded. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 UPDATE: It's started working again now that I've applied the software update via USB stick! See this thread: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/28714-should-the-software-update-work-with-my-fiesta/page__gopid__154655 Whew. I think I earned that fix.

Hi Jez, I have just bought a Fiesta 09 plate, and seem to be having the exact problems that you mentioned. It is not debonding my current phone and the bluetooth symbol on display is not showing. I try unchecking the bluetooth box on display but it unchecks then checks again very quickly. Do you think I should resolve the same way as you? Although not sure about this USB thing?

Jez Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 James: yes, they sounds a lot like the problems I was having. I'd recommend installing the update I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoken Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Bonjour, je suis également dans le même cas que Ramelle. Mon téléphone diffuse de la musique sur ford audio mais je ne peux pas accéder à la ligne audio iPod USB ford, juste à la ligne ouverte et accessible. Lorsque j'utilise la flèche gauche j'accède à l'option Ipod Usb Forde Audio mais en la sélectionnant on revient à la ligne d'activation et non à celle de sélection. Quelqu'un a la solution ? Merci beaucoup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
