Yeah fck that. So is the FG mkII setup the same as the SZ Territory (high series)?

Ford did well bringing in the USB socket too it seems with the change in plug on the new iPhone. Wonder if that was brilliant foresight or just pure arsey luck?

next q why the feck did ford put it in the centre armrest pain in the ass to connect the phone and then hurk the cord up so then the phone sits in the cup holder and then squash the lid down with cord inbetween so it doesnt retract

u mean you dont keep your phone in the pocket in the centre console?

mine lives in there the whole time im in the car, fits perfectly, best place for it while plugged in.

Yes you will need the genuine FORD cable for the system to work properly as it splits into two and plugs the ipod into both aux and usb ports. From memory you wont even get sound with just the apple cable plugged in...<br /><br />Also interested to know if the firmware update fixed the first issue?

I have an FG MkII. When I plug the iPhone in via USB, it detects that the iPhone is connected and I get sound.

The FG MkII comes standard with iPod integration so any cable I need should have been included when I bought the car? On the ICC it will say 'iPod Connected' and I can go through the songs, playlists, etc. only issue is it resets to 'A' every time you go to the list, lol. This is with the Apple Dock Connector to USB. As an aside, if you do need a Ford cable, they'd better be getting the new Lightning to USB fixed up pretty quick or you'll start getting a few antsy customers that their new iPhone/iPod doesn't work...

I haven't been able to test the first issue yet as I'm in QLD at the moment. Dad took the car in for me with a letter detailing my issues while I'm away. I'll be testing it when I get back on Sunday so I'll post up the result of course.

I've been reading up more and it looks like on the older cars with the Ford iPod cable, you will lose the 'iPod Out' connectivity with the iPhone 5 when you use the connector adaptor. You'll still get audio but lose the ability to search through playlists, artists, etc. on the screen.

Yeah, it's cause they have that built in cable. On the newer cars that use the USB port, you just plug in the new cable and it works exactly the same as using the 30-pin cable.
