So reading through my manual to see what icons do what with the media player, this was in the voice commands section. :confused:

Will I confuse the sync system asking it to use the CD player? This would be like me taking a Midol :LOL:.



I assume maybe the lower trim Rangers may have a cd player?

Did you try telling it to use the CD player?
Maybe you got one of the hidden CD players.
I'm going to try this when I get a chance.

Nah, I'm not a fan a using the voice thing, it never goes well. Back in my 16 GTI I was using the nav to get to the race track near Tulsa to watch my friend on his bike. I said "Hallet Raceway park" and it kept looking for "Pallet Park" ? .

I'll sometimes use voice commands for a phone call while I'm driving and those seem to go through without any problems. Anything else like looking for an address or asking Siri a question I usually get "I don't understand" to which I say you dumb b!#*h or something to that effect. She'll then say "That's not nice David". :oops:

I used the voice commands all the time in my '17 mustang because it was new and fun. These days I'd rather just push a button.

When you ask a question, at least it doesn't reply with "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

I'm not sure this gen Ranger in NA ever had a CD player, but maybe in other markets it did. Or Ford just copied that section of the manual from an older Ford with Sync3 that did have a CD player, like my Focus.

I think that’s my missing 8-track case! Anne Murray, Trooper, and some Ktel tapes - if not mine, any other Canadian’s. ?

A friend of mine’s father was a DJ in Winnipeg back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and he was approached by a guy with a crazy idea to start making compilation albums of songs that were just falling off, or had already fallen off the charts. He offered him a big piece of the pie to run the record division because he knew music and had connections. Besides, the guy was too busy selling his other goods (vegomatic, miracle brush, pocket fisherman, etc.). My friend’s father never took the guy up on the offer and lost out on having a big chunk of Ktel Records. :oops:

I can still remember the red over black faux alligator skin 8-track case in my dad's 65 or 67 Red Mustang.
