SYNC/IPHONE Problems

The SYNC nav/audio system in my new 2011 F250 will for seemingly no reason disconnect from my "paired" iPhone4. When I asked the service guy at the dealership when I got my hp/trq update he said he had heard about the problem but seemed purposely vague. Have any of ya'll experienced simular problems or know what going on with this issue?

Sorry I'm of no help since I haven't had that problem, but then again I don't have the Nav system.

I'm curious to know more about this hp/torque update though. What's that all about? Is it a diesel thing?

Pecos you are not alone. My 2011 does it as well. I will sync it and it will either drop off or Stay synced but have no sound coming from the truck. No ringing and when the other party picks up I can not hear them. I complained the first time when I got the flash and soon I will be getting the oil changed will have them look at it then. Problem is it not consistently doing it.

Have you guys tried Ford's Sync site for anwers?

SyncMyRide is here:

Ford Sync Form is here:
Ford SYNC Forum, Ford SYNC Owners, Ford SYNC Help, Ford SYNC Smart Phone, Ford SYNC Connect, Ford SYNC ipod, Ford SYNC Phones, Ford SYNC Blue Tooth, Ford SYNC Voice Command, Ford SYNC Phone Book, My Ford Touch, Ford Touch, My Ford Touch Owners, My Fo

My phone is a Motorola Droid and sync's thru bluetooth without any issues. In fact, using the bluetooth, I play the internet Pandora Radio thru the system now that the Sirus expired. Also works to play tunes thru the usb hookup in the center console.

Sorry I know nothing about the Iphone.

Seems like a known issue with the iOS4 (Apple issue):

Apple - Support - Discussions - IOS4 killed my car Bluetooth... ...

There's also a number of threads regarding the iPhone and Sync over at thedieselstop.com...
