Weezer Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I found this performance tip over on the syncmyride.com site. It seems to have helped those who tried it. “I have been finding that performance on my 2011 Lincoln MKX really "sucked" for the first 5 minutes or so after turning on my car, every time I turned my car on. I found a trick that has made the system work much better almost immediately after turning the car on and that has to do with turning off the automatic download of my phonebook from my phone (a setting that is on by default). If you go into the settings for the phone, and turn off auto download of phonebook it might make a big difference for you too.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hope it works for some...but we no longer even try to connect phones to the system. We even recently removed the USB HDD since it constantly gave error messages but still it locks up completely at least once a week and glitches happen daily.

It would take about 5-8 minutes before the Seek or Voice hard buttons would respond; the navigation would remain frozen all that time. Now, as you say, it's almost instanteneous. I admit I have 2300 contacts to D/L, but this is no excuse for other tasks to freeze in the meantime. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I changed my settings today; we'll see how it responds in the am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I changed my settings today; we'll see how it responds in the am. Since I've disabled auto-download of the address book, for about a week now, startups are now enjoyable. I can now use voice, navigation, steering wheel buttons, answer calls, as soon as I start driving ... as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
