This is interesting..... My wife's FG G6ET mk ii GPS system has also died. All other ICC functions OK except Navigation. Wonder if it is date related software glitch? Happened last week. Anyone else have this issue?

G'day all, Did anyone resolve this problem, and if so what was it. My wife's 2012 G6ET just displayed that same message. Any feedback would be appreciated Regards Tom

Thud is definitely coming from the sub-woofer on the rear parcel shelf... It also "thuds" randomly whilst driving. It sounds like there is an intermittent power supply connection to the sub amp. I'll ask the service department what they think next time I drop by the dealership.

Wife has been complaining about a thud noise when she starts her car in the morning. It's a mk 2 G6eT. At first I thought it may be some excess play in the driveline as she said it occurred when selecting reverse, but I found it occurred whilst sitting in neutral as well. It sounds just like a solitary dc spike (dull thud) coming from the sub woofer about 10 seconds after car starts. Doesn't do it every time though. Anyone noticed anything similar?

Good news is I updated the firmware in Samsung S2 to Android 4.1.2 and Bluetooth links phone and music when I first fire up. The ICC confirms with messages on the screen. Music streaming works well now, and displays current song and album cover on ICC, and steering wheel control can select next track. I can answer incoming calls with simple quick press of steering wheel control switch, or reject by holding switch longer. I am having issues now with the voice call function..... Getting message "voice call fail" when I try to use it. What's the trick to get the system to recognise specific call numbers when voice command is activated. Do I need to train the phone with my voice? Or set specific functions on for voice activation? This is an important feature as it appears contact lists are not supported for display on the ICC display. Having to manually access the phone to select contact number at the moment. "Dohhh!" Ciao Tom

Thanks for the replies.... The compatibility list was exactly what I was looking for. iPhone 5 seems to tick all the boxes so wife can get one. My existing Galaxy S2 shows it should do just about everything too, so there must be a glitch in the communication between my phone and the ICC ??? I'll try updating the phone software as suggested. Thanks. Samsung S4 not listed..... Can someone confirm if they have had success with it.

I've just bought a G6eT and I am having issues with getting my phone list to appear on the screen. I can't find a list of phones which are verified to be compatible for all the features available. Wife and I currently have a Galaxy S2, but it does not stream music or transfer contact list or allow voice tag calling. Phones do pair up and receive calls handsfree, but making calls necessitates using the phone. What am I doing wrong? Both phones are out of contract so I can upgrade them, but need to know if the bluetooth phone system in the MkII G6E works better with a specific phone.... ie either iphone 5 or Samsung S4? ( Mac vs Droid ? ) Do both these phones allow contact lists to display on the central display? ie Names and numbers? voice tags? What about music streaming? Any other major advantages/differences of iphone 5 over Samsung S4 in regards to feature compatibility with the Ford Bluetooth? Wife wants an iphone 5, as she also has an iPad.... and I actually would prefer the Samsung S4, but are they both fully compatible with the Ford bluetooth ???

Another vote for the over 55's silver haired club.

I've never had a car with traction control before. I test drove a G6eT recently with intentions of buying it, but when I applied some excess power on a wet road I heard a horrendous banging from the rear ??? Not sure whether it was axle hop, differential problem or the traction control activating ? For those that have G6ET's..... If applying excess power on a wet road with traction control enabled, is there any audible and noticeable vibration felt when rear wheel(s) begin to spin? Any ideas regarding the noisy rear end during wheelspin. Is it typical?

Seeing as you are an Adelaide boy, I'd recommend you see Sam, at SA Race Transmissions and Differentials. Address: 16 Dundee Avenue, Expensive Daewoo Hill SA 5088 Phone:(08) 8266 1688 He rebuilt my box back in 2004 when I modded my ute (300+ rwkw) He knows what's required, and can do both your trans and diff at same time. ciao tom

No metal in box. I'd be more inclined to think it is a bearing noise as converter is still functioning very well. Wear and tear has to become evident at some stage.... There's a fair load on the converter when brake stalled at 15 psi. After 8 years I can accept some wear. So what converters other than Dominator Eliminator are being used succesfully in street/strip applications with your T's ?
