rgigowski Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I bought this vehicle used for my wife and I am very impressed. I don't think there have been any updates to the SYNC software so it is still running 1.0, however... from what I have read, that is not much of an issue. Here's my problem. The ringer defaults to gawd awful SYNC default which will wake the dead! This was not always the case. When I first paired my phone to SYNC, the ringer on my phone was what SYNC used. Somewhere along the line, I got an update for the WP software and it may have been circumstantial or coincidence, but I think it was after that my ringer went to that funky loud ringer. Which is odd since you would have had to select the ringer setting in SYNC and not the phone. I have tried all three ringer options in SYNC plus the forth option for SYNC to default to my phones ringer. The funky ringer values will work although none are acceptable and the forth doesn't do anything. I even used the ringer off function which produced nothing as in "off". So using my phones default ringer flat doesn't work when it once did. I have removed the phone and re-paired it via BT. I have reset the entire system to factory. I have removed ALL BT devices. I have searched this board and the SYNC board and I haven't seen a post specific to this or I may have missed the post. Any suggestions is appreciated!

arabski Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 ...dunno if it helps, but 2013 rings with default tone, no matter what phone I pair it with (either WP8 running on Lumia 925 or IOS on my wife's IPhone 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then something weird happend? I guess I'd like to know if other phones that are paired if they set the ring tone to the phones, does it work or not? Everything lse is good but this.

Rick Hi Rick, I'm pretty certain there should be a software update available for your vehicle if it's only running v1.0. If your vehicle is registered at support.ford.com, the update may still be available for download and self-installation. If the website does not display any updates, your dealership would need to assist you with applying the latest version of software. Which kind of phone do you have? The default-to-phone-ringer setting is a phone-dependent feature and does not work with all mobile devices. There's a chance this may change along with your software version, but it's also possible your phone just doesn't support that functionality..

akirby Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Sync 2.0 requires dealer installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gbleu Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 ACCORDING TO THE UPDATE SITE, 2009 IS AT V1.1 and that's a dealer update. there is, however, a program you can run on your pc that you then put on a stick that can lower the volume on the radio for ringtones and custom ringtones as well as two other apps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I have been to the site but I thought the only update was the v1.1, please let me know where I can access the earlier update and I'll give it a try. Great info and THANKS!!!

akirby Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 One of the sync updates (2.1 I think) does require dealer installation. Your dealer is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Brock Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ok Thanks for the info. Just hate paying the dealer for something so simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjenki Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I just had a dealer install version 2.1 on my 2008 Edge Limited for $55. Don't let them tell you that 1.3 is the most recent version that can be installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
