I am having trouble getting my GNEX to take advantage of all the features of the Ford SYNC Phone functionality. I have a 2011 Ford F150 with SYNC Navigation. I am able to connect the phone via Bluetooth, I am able to stream music AND I am able to use my truck's speakers and mic to make and receive phone calls. That is it as far as the phone functions go. I cannot download the GNEX phonebook, call history or send/receive text messages.
The BB Storm II I used to have before my GNEX would download the phonebook (contacts) to SYNC as well as call history. I could then make calls straight from the SYNC Display on my dash (Ford 2011 Ford F150). It would also display the caller's name (Caller ID) on the in-dash SYNC display monitor when I received or placed a call. The GNEX won't do any of that - only let's me talk to a caller via Bluetooth.
Has anyone had any luck using SYNC's on screen phone functions and text messaging with a bluetooth paired GNEX?
Thanks,
Lloyd
