we have just upgraded to iPhone 5s and they work in both our FG's, no issues with Bluetooth so far and using the genuine apple adaptor we have full control of our music through the icc

when we tried the iphones originally, the rep had a non gen adaptor and it did not work, we went to the apple shop only on Friday night and bought 1 genuine adaptor, I was not going to buy two if they did not work correctly, I would just buy a cheaper aftermarket one, buty as I have posted, the gen one works in both our cars so will be buying another gen one.

I got told the same thing but with the Bluetooth. Apparently you can update the module for $550 for it to work on the 5S I was told by my local ford... Would rather buy a cheap aftermarket Bluetooth kit for that price

My 5S doesn't go so well but the missus' 5 (original) is ok.
I think ford just like to use this as an excuse to get out of the fixing the actual problem

from what I understand and happy to be corrected, the problem is apple not sticking to an agreed Bluetooth protocol

How much can you change the protocol though? Surely if it works, it works!

well apparantely the problem is with the 5s not the 5. and the dealer says it was up to Ford to provide an update , and they havent done this , so there is no fix .
so the blutooth works and phone calls can be made , but trying to play music does not work .

Changing the protocol would be like comparing apples and oranges.......no chance of it working properly.
