Mark Theriot Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I was hoping not to have to do this after 1 day of ownership - but, here I am. I'm used to a first gen sync, so I understand it takes some time before data is available, but after two hour stints, I'm figuring I have a problem. 2012 Limited with My Touch. Only weather and traffic sections have hour glasses next to them constantly. (ski report, sports, gas prices are ok). If I click on the selection, I get the waiting for data message, and then back to the selection screen with the hour glasses. Any ideas or help very much welcome!

I've had my car for a year and I get the hour glasses from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Yeha it's quite common for me too. You're best bet is to rither perform a hard reset (pull fuse 29) or perform the delayed reboot (the program that came with the SYNC voice command fix) I would advise you to do the delayed reboot first if you have any Sirius Alerts setup since pulling the fuse will erase those.

shantz Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Could be worse... You could be stuck in Canada - we get no additional support or options regarding weather, traffic, sports. I get a radio and a GPS. That is all. Everything else has been locked out by FORD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Theriot Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks everyone! Tried the Sirius reset with no luck. Will try the power down. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blows when less than a mile away from me (Detroit), the same car is wide open!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
