Samsung S4 & Sync

[RedCandySHO]

Anyone with a 2010 w/Nav using a Samsung S4? Curious if it reads / can reply to text messages? About to throw my iPhone in a lake....

I would have to say that I don't think it would. I'll have to try my wife's phone and see. My Droid 4 did the text messaging for a couple years. On the latest update on my phone it does not allow the texts to come or go thru the car any longer. Seems like the car is now "outdated" for the phone stuff.

I contacted Motorola after my Droid4 stopped working with Sync in regards to audio streaming and texting.

After months of back and forth with Motorola support, they replaced my Droid4. When Google purchased Motorola, they rolled out the 4.1.2 update to the Droid4 (and many other models) using the Google Bluetooth stack, replacing the Motorola Bluetooth stack.

This was an oversight by Motorola and they are replacing the phones on which they broke/disabled the Bluetooth MAP profile on the phones with the OS update. However, they are only replacing the phone if you place a support call to them and 'make it' all the way to their level 3 support technicians.
I now have a Motorola Droid Razr M that does support the Bluetooth MAP profile, needed for this texting functionality. I can now, once again, use this functionality.

Our car's aren't out of date, but, some phones don't support this functionality, and Motorola/Google broke many phones with upgrades.
Hope that helps....

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but, I just installed the new Sync update on my 2010 SHO. Not sure when Ford released it, but must have been this Fall sometime.
Anyway, seems Ford has fixed the MAP Bluetooth profile in the older Sync systems.
My SHO once again reads text and let's me reply via text through Sync. (Android 5.1 MotoX)
2 yrs later, but cool that Ford hasn't completely forgot the older Sync systems.

Does sound like they have started paying attention to Sync lately.
