Soon after v3.5.1 came out I had my dealer do the upgrade. I was still running with v2.11 which worked fine. Just needed an occasional re-boot. But the early reports on 3.5.1 seemed promising so I went with the upgrade.
Think I goofed[]
While the system is faster and calls are clearer, the entertainment part is all screwed up!
Using the same SD card that I used with v2.11, all sorts of issues. First, through voice command if I tell it to play genre BLUES, it would start playing Van Halen. While I like VH, they are not blues. But if I do it using the touch screen, it would work.
But the biggest issue is the system is not remembering what I was listening to when I shut the car off. Not happening every time, but enough to be annoying. [bash]
Same thing if I was just listening to an album, I would hop in the car and it would default back to playing the same Blues Brothers song. No idea why it keeps going back that particular song.
So, figured I start from scratch. Got me a brand new Sansa USB thumb drive. I went through and made sure all my music was properly in separate folders, checked to make sure the details on all the mp3 files were correct like genre. Basically cleaned everything up.
Well allot good that did me! The system is still doing the same thing [bigcry]
And I think it is getting worse!
Loaded some Beatles greatest hits albums onto the thumb drive, put the thumb back into the car and manually started the re-index process....a number of times. So far the system has yet to start playing at the same point that I turned off the car. I do turn the system off before I turn the car off. It keeps going back to that Blues Brother tune!!
For those who will ask, yes I did a master reset. At least a half of dozen times!
Never, ever, never had that issue with v2.11! So the question stands, was this upgrade worth it?
To Ford, you need to fire your software development staff and hire people that know how to properly de-bug systems!
