You just update to the new OS? If so there is probably a compatibility issue there. I know there was with one of the other updates before iOS4.

join the club. Plenty of discussion over at the syncmyride.com community forums. If you have IOS on your Iphone or Touch, you are going to see all sorts of issues. I had to pull my fuse for a bit. turn the car on. then off. Then install fuse again. Then re pair the phone after deleting it from the phone and cars bluetooth. Now at least I get calls. but i have no phone book use and it plays the iphone ringtone through the speakers. My Ipod Touch that stays in the car is FUBAR too and will not do anything but show song names and call them bad media. And this is all after Ford Sync people having the same SDK as all the other software developers. Thanks for staying on top of the most popular phone and media player in the market...

oh and the fuse trick allowed the USB to charge and notice my Ipod. Not play anything from it though.

I have a blackberry and a regular i-pod. Have had zero issues. This is a long shot, but you might make sure all your devices (phone, etc) and car sync is fully updated. My wife bought a 2010 Edge recently and I had to update her sync via the website before everything worked well. Sounds like Xcelsius has the fix for ya tho.

Have you updated your Ipod to the newest version. If its still working your the first SYNC user I have heard from like that.
