I've used it once by mistake. Once I realized what it was doing, I cleared it and did it again. Seemed to work ok with my iPhone.

Blackberry? Are they still made?

Is the text to speech issue the only problem you are experiencing? Did it began after a software update to your phone or vehicle?

still no luck

Hi Whitney,
my ford dealership has basically given up saying they do not know what to do.


Just an update my truck is 2016 F350 platinum, phone is Blackberry Q10 with all updates. But NOT 2016 new ford sync. It has been into shop three times now.


My text to speech worked fine for first three - four weeks, now it only works if I am fast enough to press listen on the screen. NOT automatically.


The last thing the dealership said they did was replace the complete modul. then rebooted it. Thinking about that now I am finding that a little hard to believe as I had loaded jpegs onto it and they were still there afterwards.
Any ideas what to do now?

Try deleting the bluetooth pairing on both the vehicle and the phone. Turn the vehicle off. This turns off the radio. Reboot the phone. Make sure that the on the phone is on. Start the vehicle. Go through the bluetooth add a phone/pairing process as described in the Ford sync manual..
