No $ in Sync 3!!!

Funny but strange... Went to hook up Sync 3 to my wifi hotspot for updates. My wifi password has a "$" symbol in it..... guess what?! The Sync 3 system doesn't contain a $ symbol. Called Ford Sync folks and after some minutes checking they advised that while Sync 3 has upside down exclamation and upside down question mark symbols among various others, it doesn't have a $ symbol. Both the tech I talked to and I found this rather strange...

You'd think with all the money they are making, a $ symbol would make the list. Guess I have to change my password on my wifi...

Same problem here! I thought I was losing my mind. Still haven't connected my WIFI since it's a PITA to change the router password. I'll get around to it one of these days.

Why not just connect it to your phone hotspot? Then you can have wifi anywhere you are!

Looking at the image, you'll see the "!@#" button has its second light on (blue), which likely means you have to tap it twice to get to that keyboard.

Did you hit the !@# once or twice? The guy above said he tapped it 2 times. Maybe change your keyboard colour from black to white just to see if you have the 2 dashed lines as above. A blue and a black.

Mine is just like the photos above. I only have the one choice/light with the !@# button. I tried pushing it twice but never got that other screen where the $ showed as a choice.

Hmmmm... Maybe there was a Sync update you didn't receive. I heard there is a 2.2 version out or something like that.
