Fg Mkii Bluetooth Issues

[tvsky]

hi all

just got my car and have issues with the blue tooth , had no issues in my old mk1 fg

when you first attach the phone it is fine , but after the ingition is turned off and back on it connects for a second and then disconnects

you either have to turn bluetooth off and back on and select reconnect in the icc or sometimes delete the phone and re pair it again for it to work

then it works perfectly again until you turn the car off

how much for a flash/update from ford and is it likely to help or is there anything I can do ?

thanks heaps!

Is the car still under warranty?

I took mine back to Ford with similar issues and Sat Nav not working properly. They did some software updates and all is good done under warranty.

It might just need an update mate simple fix but how much no idea Ask local ford dealer for a price.

Also try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes might reset. Worth giving that a good first.

my new FG mkii does the same and is still under warranty and due for a service in the next few weeks so I'll arrange for it to be done and fixed.

You just have to go to the Bluetooth screen on ICC and press the Bluetooth on/off button then wait until its on again and then on your device connect again..

correct but I have to do this every time the car starts

if anyone has success with a reflash let us know and how much

thx

Hi Mate, My symptoms were identical to yours. The software update under warranty at ford fixed it. Added bonus is you also get updated satnav maps & skins for the icc!

Old thread I know, but I got the same model this year and I've found this issue persistently.

I don't have warrenty, what do I have to do to get this fixed? It's so bloody annoying.

Go to your local ford dealership/mechanic and they can sort diagnose the issue and likely fix it. Issues like these are very hard to diagnose via forums and often easier to just go get it sorted by Ford.

 

Still possible to get done there without warranty, just won't be free lol
