hi I THOUGHT I'D ASK HERE BEFORE I GO TO FORD . the audio during ipod playing , switched to "traffic announcement" when i exited this by pushing the last button directly under the screen , it defaulted to auxiliary , therefore stuck in this mode all the contols dont work related to audio on the ICC or steering wheel . i can plug my ipod in and play it still , but cant get radio, am/fm/ turn power off , cd . or anything, just ipod . or auxiliary.
when the key is out and ignition off audio can be switchd on and everything works . can you think of a fix , or has something gone majorly wrong . ? sorry to ask but , i have bought from you in the past here , and trust your knowledge over fords . ? cheers . |

the problem has seemed to be resolved . by either / using the 2nd key . all was good . or the fact the car had been switched off overnight .
all appears normal now . if you have any technical info about this i'd love to hear it . cheers . |

Very strange - I had the same thing happen in my FG this morning. Was listening to an MP3 CD and it switched to "Traffic Announcement", which took me to a broadcast of a religious radio station in Sydney called Hope FM 103.2...
The screen then locked up and was unable to move from it, but had pulled over and turned car off as I was at my destination. Travelling later this morning, the car did the same thing again, with the same station, but this time exited when I hit the "Exit" button that appeared on the right most button under the display. Model is a basic March 2010 FG XT and am driving around Wollongong - have never seen any "Traffic Announcements" come up before today- seems strange that it would be the same day as your problem. Did this happen to anyone else? What was broadcast when your car switched to "Traffic Announcement"? |

now we have confirmation , this has happened to me a few times now . and still is . i have learnt how to get around it .
DO NOT press the EXIT button . instead press the MODE button on the steering wheel , this wont freeze the system . it will change back to whatever you were listening too , with normal functions . go to your ICC, press MENU, press AUDIO, scroll down to PDS press OK and remove ticks from TRAFFIC announcements . i have done this already , and the same thing happened this morning . when i went through the menu again , the TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENTS box was ticked again . i think this is because i unticked it during audio only on without key in ignition . so with igniton on i have removed it again, before the announcement comes up ( ie straight after startup) and so far so good today . i'll wait and see what eventuates doen the track . but so far so good the immedieate fix for now is DO NOT HIT THE EXIT BOTTON ,just change the mode on the steering wheel . if you do hit THE EXIT button , and the system freezes , it will stay frozen , so , TURN VEHICLE OFF , REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION , turn on audio without key in ignition , and scroll through menu and untick TRAFFIC announcements , this will reset the system , now start the car and repeat this process quicky with car running , if you dont the traffic announcement will come up again within a minite or two . IT IS A SYDNEY RADIO 103.2 RELIGIOUS STATION !!! I IMAGINE NOW THIS THREAD WILL BECOME usefull for sydney siders , there must be a new Broadcasting method interfering with the FG ICC . |
