    Before the flaming starts...I'm a moran.

    Okay, so taking a golf trip this weekend with buddies. Buddy driving has a brand new truck with the SYNC system. My iPhone is bogged down with 1000s of songs. We want to snyc-these up for the weekend.

    Just spent an hour doing everything in the owner's manual and then some...to no avail.

    Tried just plug and play (many, many times)...wouldn't recognize the device. Tried it before we turned the truck on...while truck was running...blah, blah, blah.

    The way everything I've read via googling it...this should just be a simple plug and play. Doesn't matter if it's an iPhone, iPod, iPad or a vibrating Accomodater.

    Anyone else here have this set-up...and does it work?

    EDIT: And oh yeah, he doesn't have the touchscreen Nav...like all the interweb example videos.

    Cliffs.

    1) I'm a moran
    2) How the do you connect iPhone to Ford Sync if you are a waterhead?

    thanks in advance.

    Do you have Bluetooth enabled on ur Iphone? I also found this:

    'I just accidentally found out that the new iPhone 3.0 OS has given me the ability to stream music from my iPhone to my car stereo. Quick review – if your car stereo and your phone is paired, then it should be easy.
    1. Give your sync the voice command “bluetooth audio”
    2. Press the play button on your iPhoe
    That’s it. Of course if you haven’t paired your phone yet (why haven’t you), you’ll have to do that first.
    The good: The sound quality is quite good.
    The bad: There is no text support and you’ll have to switch songs, playlists, albums, etc through the iPhone itself.
    The ugly: Your battery life after running your phone on 3G and streaming music wirelessly.
    The two images below show you what the iPhone screen looks like while streaming.

    We actually sync'd up via bluetooth, but it still didn't work. Which seemed odd. I would have the iPod on the phone playing music, go into setting and turn on BT. As soon as it connected, the music stopped playing (audibly) but the truck still didn't find it.

    FTR - I have no need whatsoever to use BT for the phone/text...whatever. My goal would be to get this to work via the SYNC USB port.

    I ripped that system out of my truck and just put in an aftermarket in dash receiver. Save yourself a headache and go this route.
