This bulletin supersedes TSB-16-54-001 dated January 2016 to update the procedures about
how to obtain the USB flash drive software. Revisions are italicized and indicated by ◄.
PURPOSE
Some customers may report that the connection between the FUSE Hands Free Link System (also called
Hands Free Module / HFM) and iPhone is unstable, repeatedly connecting and disconnecting from the
vehicle's Bluetooth when the iPhone's Wi‐Fi is enabled. The condition does not occur when Wi‐Fi is turned
off.
During normal operation, the HFM sends signals searching for available devices to connect with via
Bluetooth. Once it finds a device, the HFM establishes a connection.
If the device is an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and a Wi‐Fi connection is in operation, the HFM sees the device as
not available and ends the connection. After disconnecting, the HFM searches for available devices again,
and reconnects.
This TSB instructs the dealer to update the HFM software to improve the Bluetooth connection with
iPhone/iPod/iPad when the device is connected to Wi‐Fi.
The new HFM software also improves the following conditions when using a USB cable connection:
D
Music title is not displayed when playing music with iPhone/iPod/iPad via USB connection
D
Music repeatedly stops playing after one song is completed when playing music with
iPhone/iPod/iPad via Bluetooth
D
If Fast‐Forward is pressed while using the Repeat function, the music stops at the end of the song,
and the Fast‐Forward search is discontinued
NOTE:
D
The new HFM software includes the latest database of music titles provided by Gracenote.
D
With this update, music cannot be played with a USB connection if the Apple device iOS is version
4.0 or earlier.
