I have a 2009 Escape XLT and I can not get the auto to sync with my phone. When I press the "phone" button on the dash, the display says "No Phone". I've tried all the tricks with pulling the sync fuse, run it for 5 minutes shut car off and plug the fuse back in. Nope! Not happening. I have no clue how to check if my car has Sync. All 2009 have it, but I'm at a lost to the steps to allow my phone to sync with the car. Really like to know how to get this to work. thanks

Seen way too many YouTube videos and everyone does NOT WORK for me. That is why I posted this in the forum

Your phone with its later version of BT might not be compatible with the earlier version in your car.

Don't know much about it, a little though. From what I've found, you need to not only reset the bluetooth on the car, but you need to clear the cars' radio listing from your phone before you can try again.
Also, instead of just pulling the fuse, just disconnect the battery for 5 minutes instead as there are typically 2 fuses for the radio.

That would be nice if it was possible. When I press the phone button, the display says "No Phone", now if I press the phone button and then press "OK" on the radio dial, it does nothing. The "No Phone" goes away after I press "ok". My Main questions is: Is the radio even possible of "Sync"? According to Ford, every 2009 Ford Escaps had Bluetooth. But different options.

Supposedly it does, and BT is supposed to be backward compatible. Try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes or so instead of pulling the fuses, then on your phone, look for "SYNC" in the BT settings and delete it, then watch the video Logan posted.

The video Logan posted will not work, I do not have that radio system. That has voice and I don't have that phone button on my steering wheel. Also I am trying to locate the version of Sync my car has, if it even has it, I'm leaning more towards, this does NOT have a sync-able radio. I was told there are 3 different radio's build for the 2009 Escape.

Can you post a pic of what you do have?

That's my steering wheel

Based on the pic and the other info you posted, your system is not equipped with SYNC.
Page 28 of your owners manual, bottom paragraph shows this, along with page 70 for the steering wheel buttons.

Thanks for the info, I'm still wondering why Ford would say all 2009 Escape models are equipped with Sync.

 

[otecamusic2012]

Thank very much for the responces Y-Dave. I've tracked down all the information according to my VIN and all the options that were built with this model.

Is it possible to install the Sync system into my Escape? I have the sync module and I'm looking for the sync wire harness. Please advise if anyone else has put a system in. thx
