Ford Stereo With Usb Problems

Hi all

I have recently bought a 2nd hand 2012

Fiesta Edge. I am very happy with the car so far except for a minor problem which I wondered if anyone can help with. The car has a USB connection (without Bluetooth) and when I first started using the stereo I could control the stereo through the controls on the dashboard on the car. I could select playlists by clicking back.. Scroll through songs etc. a few weeks later this stopped working. I found some suggestions online to re set the stereo by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes. I did this and it worked for a few days afterwards.. Then went back to usual. It just plays all songs and won't let me control via car stereo, also sometimes skipping songs.

I took the car to my local ford dealer who re set the stereo.. Again this solved the problem for a day or so and then when back to not working. I just wondered whether anyone has experienced any similar problems or have any idea what it may be. I have heard it may require a stereo update.. I do not think this was done when I took it to the garage. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would very much appreciate any advice.

Thank you

Hannah

    That updated won't work as it's for Bluetooth & USB models.

    My bad, I just googled and copied the link, does the link not provide additional downloads though?

    Hi

    Thanks - I did try this but think it may be for Bluetooth models. Can't seem to find any updates for the USB models.

    Best bet is to speak to the dealer
