KenP Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I've got a Nexus 5 and the name comes up with the message, if you've got the phone book downloaded it should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanDanFiestaMan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Morning all, I had the same problem with my Sony Xperia Z2 and couldn't work it out, drove me crazy! However if you make sure all of the numbers in your phone are in normal style ie 07777777777 and not with the international dialing code +447777777777. I read somewhere that Sync gets confused with both types in your phone. Once all contacts are in the 07, 01 etc format in your phone, delete phone book from SYNC and then re download phone book, should work!! GOOD LUCK! let me know how it works for you guys!

MartynS Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The phonebook doesn't even have to be downloaded for names to appear on text messages, I received one before I downloaded the phonebook and it showed the name as opposed to the number!

KenP Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Did you accept all the permissions on your phone when you synced it with the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I tried what Dan Said but didn't work and phone didn't ask any permissions when I think about it I typed the code into my phone to connect bluetooth then I accepted it on the dash for assistance but nothing on phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Btw my phone is HTC one with latest updates does everything except read names of text messages which doesnt let me reply back...... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanDanFiestaMan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Sorry mate, thought that would have sorted it for you! have you tried do bonding phone and re starting again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluee Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I had the same problem. When I was in my old 09 Fiesta it sync'd with my htc wildfire s perfectly fine but once I changed phones to a Samsung galaxy s4 it wouldn't load up the names from my phonebook. I thought my phone was too new for the car or something. Best going back to a Ford Dealership and ask for help really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbenji Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks all. I've tried all of the above and none have worked. My car is due for a service at the end of the month so will ask garage then and post answer if theygive a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenP Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I would think it's going to be that the phone doesn't support all the features of the car system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StumpyBloke Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is this feature only on the facelift models? Ta Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
