Well obviously that is a backhanded compliment. I've given up, but still will track the forums for a time to see if there is any resolution. I agree, given the dash layout, it is perfect for a double din unit. I just don't want to lose some of the built in functionality such as backup cam...

While it does have issues, the iPhone/iPod works quite well. Also MyFord Touch is software updatable and they have been issuing software updates to fix bugs. While I doubt it is perfect, at least they have acknowledged the issues and are trying to fix them.

Atitus, Yes I have, and it works pretty well. Steering wheel controls even let me advance tracks which is nice when I am playing a Spotify station. I also use it with the Nexus 4 I have and that works well, and with the most recent android version 4.3, it now displays song title and artist...

Rented a Escape with MyFord Touch. It loaded a big play list quite quickly and had no issues. I was even getting album art. I didn't play with the voice controls that much, although I did use them to tune into some Sirius stations. That worked quite well. A lot of other things I liked with...

I do that too and I am using Android more now, so BT is the only real option. Have you tried Spotify on a iPhone through the USB interface? I found it works sometimes, but most of the time it will play for a second then go back to the first track that is stored on the iPhone. I also tried...

Signed, now lets just hope they fix it before I trade in my car :)

I traded my 2009 Honda Civic with just shy of 100K miles. I liked the Civic, not an exciting car, but got me where I needed and was very reliable. I thought about buying a used SUV as a second car because I wanted more space for things like bikes, trips to home depot, etc. But decided after...

At least MyFord Touch is software upgradable and Ford has been regulary issuing fixes. Yea, MyFord Touch probably tries to do a bit too much, but from what I've read in the Ford forums, it is getting better The un-labeled street names is so annoying. I can't use the nav without a destination...

That sucks, but you are right. BT notification only come in over the audio paring and wont preempt any other sources. I have actually gotten used to it though, but I was surprised when I rented a Ford Escape and was using my phone as a GPS while listening to the radio. When a turn would come...

It just is silly that is has become an argument on how important or non-important the issue is. Well we all agree it is an issue. Can I live with the car despite the issue? Yes of course. Would I like Mazda to commit to a fix? Absolutely. The whole issue as it stands now means that the...

If it didn't delete what I was doing to the point, then I would be ok. The problem is, you could be 90% complete with address entry, safety lock engages and everything is deleted. If it saved it until the next stop, that would be ok

Road noise isn't bad. There is a bit more wind noise at highway speeds than my last car. Comes from around the windows. Usually not noticeable under 65 and doesn't really bother me that much. Actually I have the roof rails on with the cross bars and I get a bit of whistling from them...

My main problem is not about being able to set it when driving or when stopped. My problem is the damned saftey lock and whatever you were doing when stopped is canceled once you start driving and when you are driving and you stop, whatever you were doing at that point is canceled. Also the...

Is that why the horn sounds like it is missing half its tone? Is that the same in the 2013? Wonder how easy it would be to add it in now?

Hey if you need to find a word that rhymes with something, Mazda Tom Tom is there for you. I should use it to write a poem
