Ford Sync and Droid

Jubz · 12-24-2009, 06:43 PM

Anyone pair up their Droid with a Ford Sync via Bluetooth?

How's the call quality, especially for the recipient on the other end?

Does the media volume mute/media pause with an incoming call?

TIA

I've got a 2010 Fusion paired with the Droid. Works great (when pairing, you'll have to use the special pin 0000 instead of the one the Sync automatically gives you) and sounds great on calls. My family said they can't tell the difference between a normal call with the droid and one through the car's Sync system. When your playing music from the Droid, over bluetooth, I believe the audio pauses when a call is received and when the call ends, the audio resumes.

I am using the Droid with a 2008 Explorer and it works great. When you pair it you can use the pin the sync gives you but you have to be really fast or it times out. It took a couple of tries but I got it. Also, it would not transfer my contacts correctly, for some reason it only transfered a few entries. However, if you go to the SyncMyRide web site you can download a program that will let you transfer all your contacts via USB thumb drive. Takes a while to setup but worth it!

The media does mute when you receive a call, but I use a Zune for my MP3 playback

Great info. Thanks for the tips on using the 0000 code and the contacts sync app.

Got a lincoln MKZ 09.....i just throw a bunch of mp3s drag n drop onto my droid, and it plays them with no problem! If you have older sync models i guess there was an issue that a update took care of, speak to your local ford/linc/merc dealership about any TSBs
