Try this From Fords website: SYNC Troubleshooting Utilities SYNC My PhoneIf you're having trouble downloading mobile contacts to your SYNC system, SYNC My Phone may be helpful to you. It's a software program that you can download directly to your computer, and it allows you to manually create and download phonebook contacts. to your vehicle through your USB drive. Download SYNC My Phone Would be better if Sync could download your Contacts automatically, but at least you can manually create them this way.

So I tested the Bluetooth Metadata and it does mostly work, even updates when the track changes, but for whatever reason it still will display 'Media Stream' when Navigation or anything is full screen. Seems like they forgot that. I still can't send a text message from Sync though, I bet it has something to do with iMessage or Apple in general. I am going to try with an Android phone, But I do kinda remember that already was working.

This is a nice surprise, was sure our Gen 1 Sync systems were abandoned. I now have text messaging working on one phone. I can receive and have the message read, but replying fails. Going to test the Bluetooth metadata later. Still no AppLink though. Wonder if there is some weird licensing agreement with systems with voice navigation.

The relationship with Microsoft and Ford is odd at this point, They just announced that Forza 6's (Driving video game by Microsoft Studios) Cover car is the New Ford GT. But the new Sync 3 will be running QNX and I'm guessing as a result not developed by Microsoft. I wonder if any Microsoft developed Sync systems will see any more updates at this point now. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Gen I here. The lifetime average since I have owned the car (about 15K miles now) is now 48.2 MPG. Fuelly shows 44.1 MPG which might be more accurate but it also could probably be somewhere between the two as highway driving trips will actually show higher in fuelly then the car), but it is still a nice number especially when I have someone with me. They are like dam you are getting 48MPG with this car. If you drive for it, Gen I can achieve great fuel economy as well.

Did a nice little highway run today. On the to trip I was only able to get 44.4 Return Trip netted 52.6. For a trip average of 48.5 What a difference elevation makes.

No mention of when and what cars will be getting this and if it will be available as an update to older vehicles (doubt this as the new hardware has a capacitive screen now). Just a nice tease article.

I wasn't able to achieve a 50 MPG tank yet, but my last 2 were 49.1 and 47.8. Not complaining though. Tried a few different techniques on my last tank that didn't really provide good results and now things are getting a little bit colder in the mornings making for longer warm up times. Still going for the 800 Mile and 50 MPG tank though, traffic is increasing which mostly helps with MPG here.

I wouldn't hold my breath for any type of older systems getting a whole new operating system, I bet there are hardware and software agreements in place preventing such things, and even if there weren't, from a business stand point why waist man hours on porting new software to old hardware. And as for me personally, Ford and any other automaker can keep any google functionality to themselves, I refuse to use any of there spyware products already, and I definitely don't need them spying on my driving habits.

Perfect Weather for MPGs now. Shooting for my first 50 MPG and 800 Mile Tank.

Weather is perfect, MPGs on the rise again. Gen 1 Representing.

Yes, I have it set to log, But I do not get any data for it. So it appears my car doesn't support it. I have just Regular Torque (ft/lb) also set to log and I do get data for it. Is there any difference between the two? So besides having to make some unit conversions everything seems to be working great now.

After updating what I'm logging, now I'm only missing the Following (which are all Toyota PIDs right?): ERROR: Brake PID missing ERROR: Regen Cooperation PID missing ERROR: Wheel Cylinder Pressure Sensor PID missing ERROR: Regen Cooperation PID missing ERROR: HV System Indicator PID missing And I'm now getting battery Info as shown in my Updated Analysis shown in the post above Seems like there may be equivalents to the the Brake PID and HV System Indicator. Any Ideas on the Actual Engine Torque PID and Just Torque PID?

OK, so I think we can find the Ford Equivalents to most of those Toyota PIDs and also the one I still get no Data for: Actual Engine Torque I guess what I need to know is what kind of data those PIDs give you so I can find the Ford Equivalents here. Can you give an explanation of the Data they provide. As for Actual Engine Torque I am able to get some torque data from other PIDs. What is the difference between the regular Torque PID and the Actual Engine Torque PID? Update: So after looking at the FAQ on your blog I see there are items listed on "What to Log" that I was missing. I have added them and will take a trip to see how this affects the data.

OK, So I went ahead and added some of the Missing PIDs and I got much better results. And I'm really loving what this has to offer. The Log I analyzed yesterday was just an old one I had on my PC that I was playing around in Excel with. I get lots of errors with some torque logs and others seem to work fine. There does appear to be a bunch of required PIDs that I don't get any data for like: Accel Pedal Pos #1 Actual Engine Torque (I do get data for torque though) I don't have PIDs for the following which show as missing in the Torque Log File Analyzer log: ERROR: Batt Pack Current Val PID missing ERROR: Regen Cooperation PID missing ERROR: Wheel Cylinder Pressure Sensor PID missing ERROR: Regen Cooperation PID missing ERROR: HV System Indicator PID missing I believe some of these are Toyota specific even though I specified Ford hybrid so this could be a bug. I do probably need to add all the PIDs linked here in your blog: http://i-fix.us/Torque-Pro-Settings-for-Ford-Fusion-and-C-MAX-Energi.php (Just imported them so will see how it goes next trip) I do have a 1st Gen Lincoln Hybrid so that could be why some of the PIDs are Missing or contain no data. I'm not sure if the Ford Stuff on your Log analyzer was optimized for the 2013+ Ford Hybrids though. Here is another example of the Summary Analysis generated. Things are still in Metric units but it's easy enough to convert to US units. But it's so much easier to do if you export to Excel or Open Document format first. I have to say google spreadsheets is the slowest, clunkiest spreadsheet software I have ever worked with. I am amazed that anyone actually uses it for anything. I understand it is all web based but there are much better offerings out there than googles...you get what you pay for here...and with anything google...You're the Product, not the Customer.
