Id have to use those devices to start music play. I dont know if any mp3 players are syunc compatible, or not. There has to be a solution to this. I just dont know what it is. Any ideas? It has always worked fine. First suspect is the iPod cord. Try another USB cord, or alternatively, connect your iPod to iTunes on your computer with the existing cord. If iTunes recognizes your iPod when it is connected with the existing cord, then the cord is not the problem.
Then try another USB port in your car, assuming you have one. That would indicate that your iPod is the problem. On Sync 3 models you can connect via a cable Google Drive and a couple of other nav apps via your smartphone. Check they work before purchasing via the free trial. I put one track on a USB stick to test the audio system; it worked fine. Then I added a few more tracks. Obviously there is some adjustment I have to do so that the stick gets re-indexed.
Is there a simple way of doing this, please? Which format are you adding them to the USB stick? This re-indexed the stick, and now all files are working. You may be on a much more modern sync version, though, so it may work differently. If they are, does this mean that the USB sockets are goosed for reading data?
They seem to charge devices fine. So far no go. Do I need to link to my car with my laptop, wifi, bluetooth. Does anyone else have an issue with SYNC doubling the songs? I insert my 8GB Walkman and after indexing, each album has each song listed twice.
It is quite annoying to have to skip every other song. My ipod has worked for years. I have been dealing with this exact same issue with my iPod 5th Generation Nano, and my Ford Focus, ever since I got my car, 4. I have gone mad, trying every other suggestion to resolve this issue, and the only thing that worked, was restarting my iPod.
The process of restarting an iPod, depends on which model you have. I hope this works for you! Our new Ford Focus is lovely in every other way.
We do think the sellers should advise on this at the point of sale. Sadly, things have moved on, such as when cassette players were finally removed from cars. However, not messing around with CDs when trying to drive, imo, is a great safety improvement. Trying to change a wallpaper on F, it will not recognize the USB drive. Hi David I have a kuga with the usb connection in the centre armrest console.
I have music on usb 32gb for 18 months playing fine then just stopped working saying connect a usb device on the dash screen, I have tried numerous usb of different sizes, re formatted using Fat32, the information is on the stick as if I switch just the ignition on it will play the usb as normal for about 7 seconds then throw up the message connect a usb device, so I used a my phone charging cable connecting to the usb in centre console and it does the same thing it charges my phone and connects for 7 seconds then stops working.
Looks to me like the power trips off to the usb port , any ideas its driving me mad. I have this problem too!! And more importantly,did you fix yet?

Please download the file to your computer and prepare the USB flash drive as follows:. As far as i'm aware the sync 3 run on qnx blackberry software so is fairly good at sandboxing its updates normally downloads them fully then runs the update so if wifi drops shouldn't be an issue as for sync 2 if on windows not even sure if its got wifi on the sync 2 as the hardware is different not just software so you cant upgrade it without pulling the dash apart and major expense sync 3 left sync 2 right.
Thanks Aron. Thanks again for the helpful info.
