My Brother is a Mechanic for Ford and i asked him if they were in fact having issues with the MKZ as a hot spot, he said no, but did add the biggest issue he does see with Sync is customers inability to pair their phone directly.OK when I bought my 2013 MKZ, I admit I did not own a smart phone
I finally upgraded yesterday to a Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro and attemted to make the vehicle a hot spot or any type of Internet Data Connection and after an hour finalled called Sync support.
They told me that they are having an issue with all Lincoln MKZs with all smartphones.
I'm surprised that no one else here has posted this type of problem and would love to hear if someone has this working
BTW the Samsung is an 'Android" type OS, if that makes any difference.
What say yo'all??
Have you gone to the dealer and had a mechanic sit with you to set up your phone? I would highly suggest this, not some stuffy sales men, they aare completely ignorant. Ask for a tech to have a look at your Syna, it will take them 5 minutes and is much more rewarding than watching a salesman fumble his way through
good luck
