MFT 3.5.1 bugs

[copernicium112]

I had one last night. Leaving work and it took a while for my phone to connect. Didn't even notice because it usually connects so fast now. Switched to the nav screen while it was still trying to connect so I had "Connecting..." displayed in my phone tab for my entire drive. It did eventually connect and worked fine but the display never refreshed, even when I tried switching between various screens. Stopped at the store on he way home and when I restarted the car it was fine. Certainly not a big deal but a bug nonetheless. Hopefully just a one-off.

I've experienced this one a few times. The screen displayed "connecting" and didn't refresh. When I clicked on the phone quad, it showed that everything was connected so the main screen just didn't want to refresh. No biggie, I guess.

Noticed that too. What's up with that? Is 3.34.4 part of 3.5.1?

Anyone notice a change in driver and front passenger window "auto up & down" behavior after getting the update?

Sync and the windows are not connected to my knowledge - if they were we would be able (in theory) tell sync to raise/lower a window.

Regardless - had 3.5.1 installed and all my windows still work, even the one touch up/down on all four.

Thanks.
Didn't make sense to me either but the change did in fact happen.
Others have reported it too.
Must be something the dealer does inadvertently.

MFT update 3.5.1 doesn't have anything to do with your power windows. What may have happened is the dealer unplugged your battery and that disabled your power windows temporarily. All you need to do is reset them and instructions are in the manual.

I've always thought this was an iPod issue. Are you using an iPod or a USB stick with songs?

I have had iPod issues with every car I own, but need to rebuild my music library before I can use USB sticks the way I want to.

I get this, usually after short cycling the car off then back on(going thru my gate).

Very annoying, especially on a tree lined road at dusk

Please try to keep it clean and no ranting or raving (you catch more flies with honey than vinegar) and keep it 3.5.1. specific, if you want to get 351 there is another thread for that.


I'll start, dealer installed 3.5.1 on 11-20-12 and so far all is well.

I had a previous bug resurface for the first time since updating to 3.5.1 a couple of weeks ago... I took a short trip to Home Depot with the Entertainment System off. When I returned to my car and started it, the Entertainment System switched on.

Just to add a "me too" to a previously reported bug. My reverse camera overlays keep turning off by themselves.
