iphone 7 compatibility with 2012 Lariat
I just upgraded to a iphone 7 (from a 4s).
I cant seem to make a Bluetooth pairing to the truck. I checked a Ford compatibility web site and it appears the 7 is not compatible ?
Is that true or am I doing something wrong ?
Update: I just realized that the instructions say to have the truck running (in Park) when making a connection ................... I was in 'Accessory' ............ so maybe that was my problem ?
(From a safety perspective, Accessory mode makes more sense to me ............)

Yeah the truck wants to be running, and not moving. You can do it in Drive while stopped also...like I did this morning.
Paired up my iPhone 7 Plus this morning without issue. Glad you got it figured out.

I agree with MCDavis and PrinceValium regarding the engine running in the truck. Since the iPhone 7 was just released, Ford probably hasn't been able to test it just yet. But I haven't heard of any issues with the phone not connecting. For more info on pairing, check out this link: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-...html?sync=sync
Let me know if you still run into any issues!
