wtalley Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Where would I find information on which phone brand/model would best match up to my SYNC? Thanks for any help you might suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxb006 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I believe that any phone that has bluetooth capabilities will work fine with Sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 this is the best source. most all work BUT some do not utilize features others can't. for example, some phones have the ability to do SMS text messages via Sync, some do not. so, the list is helpful. click here - see the chart link in upper right corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Talionis Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 As far as I can see my phone is not listed... T-Mobile G1. does not mean in any way it will not work, it just means (1) not "officially" tested and (2) might work but some functions - like text message reading - will not be available. MANY phones not on the list work fully or in part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Sync has been out there long enough that you would think cell phone manufacturers and retailers would tell you if their units fully function with Sync. My wifes phone connects but would not upload the phone book. But I hear the affiliate developers are working to expand Sync's capability in this regard. Perhaps we will hear more from the Consumer Electronics Show. Now that I'm retired, I don't get to go there (or SEMA) anymore. Those shows were always very informative.

Edgieguy Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 My new Verizon DROID will not pair up with the Edge. So disappointing. Anyone else with this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else with this problem? that actually shocks me to be honest. did you try checking here for fixes or comments as they are way more into actual SYNC issues on that board than here. more general info here, more SYNC problem solving with phones and mps players there. I would post up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 My new Verizon DROID will not pair up with the Edge. So disappointing. Anyone else with this problem? Did you turn on bluetooth? Does it work with any other bluetooth devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Yes, I turned the BT on, and I allowed it to search as well as be found. Our Lexus ES found it and paired with it immediately, but the SYNC has not been able to pair with it. Seems like quite a common problem after doing some reading on the internet and other forums. I will continue to read other ideas and forums and report back anything I find anyplace else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a problem with the 4 digit vs. 6 digit pin. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-gen...-ford-sync.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks, I read that one too. I just loaded the new sync software to a USB drive and will attempt to update my SYNC tomorrow to see it that helps with the pairing. Right now I cant even get to a point to input a code, SYNC simply does not recognize the phone... Try this. Seems to be a problem with the 4 digit vs. 6 digit pin. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-gen...-ford-sync.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 OK so I finally had some success with the DROID. I deleted my Blackberry Storm from the SYNC memory first. After that was removed I was able to get to the PIN number to pair the phone. As stated, if you use the arrow right button on the steering wheel sync gives you another set of PINS (4 digit vs. 6) So I input 0000 and SYNC paired up with the DROID just fine. Streaming Bluetooth Audio is excellent, the sound quality is awesome and ive only encountered one problem when the two devices didn't recognize each other. So far so good.

I was able to pair my daughter's Moto Droid up with no problems. She even downloaded her phone book. I did not have to delete any phones from the memory either. I have my BB Storm as the primary, as well as the wife's phone the LG Dare. I am still on version Sync 1.1 also. I guess I just got lucky.

I just got a new iPhone and had to delete the old one to get the new one to connect. For me Sync is very hot and cold with whether or not it wants to work properly. It has mood swings.

TotMacher Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I was able to pair my daughter's Moto Droid up with no problems. She even downloaded her phone book.

I've had no problems getting my Moto Droid to pair on first go. address book downloaded, but what I've seen is that while my phone said "other/mobile", Sync will have problems w/the phone# to list it as "mobile" and you need to say "other". I fixed this by going back up into Google addressbook, setting the phone# type to MOBILE, and then resync my addr book to my phone & then to my Edge. works now!

whuzup6 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I believe that any phone that has bluetooth capabilities will work fine with Sync. Not so! Not any phone with blutooth capabilities will work with Sync. I recently went though a nightmare trying to get my new cell phone Samsung SPH540 to work with Sync. After numerous calls/emails to Samsung and Ford Customer Service, no one had an answer for my frustration. Might be nice if Ford would update the Sync list of compatible phones. Furthermore if one takes time to read the forums, they will see there are numerous phones that won't work or have problems with. For the record I ended up returning my Samsung SPH R540 in exchange for a Nokia E71 that works great, but not on the tested Sync list.

k_m Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 If you want to pair more than one phone just make one primary and the other as secondary, etc... This link gives simple step by step directions http://www.syncmyride.com/Own/Modules/SupportContent/UsingSyncSupport.aspx?hdi=11 also see attached pdf for compatible phones and which features work and which ones do not. Hope this helps sync_us_EN_iop_1_30.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
