Hello Hubert, Phil here.

I see you have a MK1, but have you seen my posts regards the Sync 2 DAB and FM radio not displaying the full information text on the screen. There is text missing when the text length is 1.5 lines long.

Do you know if anyone over there in Germany with Sync2 has this problem too, or is just the UK

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards

Phil

Der Sendername wird bei meinem mit DAB in einer Zeile angezeigt. Die Sendernamen der verfügbaren Sender besteht aus wenigen Buchstaben so dass er immer komplett angezeigt wird! Der längste Sendername ist "Schlagerparade" und auf dem "alten" 5"-Display in voller länger zulesen! Sync hat mit der Anzeige am Display wohl eher nichts damit zutun!!

Can only reply in English.

If you press info, the stations also sends information such as artist or music information and this can be quiet a long text.

Note, In Entertainment options Radio Text has to be selected to display additional station information.

Hi Phil,
DAB+ is using DLS (Dynamic Label Segment) to send Informations about Song, Singer or other things.
You can send max. 128 signs - this means: light, no light, light, no light and so on
Max 64 textsigns - and these one are not longer than 1,5

sorry for my english
with best regards

..... not longer than 1,5 lines.

Thank you.

United Kingdom broadcasters transmit meaningful information in Dynamic Labels which is transmitted in up to 48 bytes of X-PAD per audio frame. The text is truncated/cut short on the second line on long text in the UK. My previous Kuga MK2 displayed all text correctly and on a second page too. My MK2 with Sync1 displayed text no problem and even a second page.

Are you saying you dont get long text in Germany?

Can I post an image on here to show you?

Phil

Please look at this page for image

Yes if you can Hubert.

Not longer text than max 128 signs

If you look at the image on the link above there are only 64 characters (including spaces and line feeds). You can see the sentence is unfinished.

Can someone post up an image of what you see on your screens in Germany.

Thank you

In germany it's exactly the same

So dont you get shortened text? Did you look at my link above at the radio display?

I meant the pic in post nr. 13

I dont see a picture in 13.

Ja das its gut.

Vielen Dank

Etwas Deutsch

So does anyone have corrupted or shorted/cut text like the image above?

Thanks

Phil

So this is not a problem in Germany?

In germany you are happy about what you get - anyone is frightened that we have to pay more for a few signs more.... 😒

Ford have made a Fix but did not work on my Kuga. They try again next week.
