If I were you I'd cancel the booking and just get it from another dealership. Ford in Malaysia is just pathetic beyond belief. I'm already losing my patience with them.

Kota Kinabalu, we have only two dealers here and got already some problem with the other Ford's dealer being not serious when we were giving the price, you know the first time they tell you the price to get you and the second time price changed (increased) already.
So not much choice here. At thirst I cancelled my booking, I was really disappointed, but they offered extra discount and extra free services, for the troubles caused. I will give them another chance.
The problem is not Ford itself but the attitude and poor professionality of Sime Darby and all the people supposed to do their best on selling and servicing Ford cars

Maybe that's why, due to the unrest in the area for the past months.

no unrest here, only dealer not doing properly their job, trust me...
when I did ask some explanation they don't even know what to say, I guess they just messed up with the booking

In Australia, most 2013 car have digital radios installed in their car because the traditional analog radio waves have been replaced by digital signals, which add more functions to the radio like weather, song name, song title, etc etc to be displayed on our radio screen.

However in Malaysia, our radio waves are still analog and it only sends audio signal to our radio, which means even tho ford choose to enable more options in Sync, we cant use it anyway..thats probably why they just "localize" the car and remove the function all together..haha

it still has no sense because Fiesta (Malaysia) has this features
and what about the Climate control?!...

I am 4th day into driving the focus sport +. I realized that the dry clutch powershift gear box tends to hunt for gears to decide downshift or upshift during slow down and acceleration at low speed. And it creates the rattling sensation and noise. Any owner experience that? It seems like a dry clutch problem or characteristics. Probably need better gear shift algorithm.
*
As I learn from various post I think this is completely normal and should be get better the more we drive...However this is the characteristic of dual clutch transmission.

For anyone having problem to allow Sync to read your sms from Android phone try this:

Unpair your phone, if you have it paired already, and delete it from the phone list in SYNC.
Re-pair your phone ( it worked with my S3 Samsung) with SYNC
When prompted to allow MAP on the phone, check the "Do not ask again" box and selected yes or Ok

Below the full procedure to pair your phone (Android) and get Sync reading your sms

Car
Get to the Phone Menu by pressing the “Phone” button.
Use the Tune knob to scroll through the menu to locate “System Settings” and press OK.
Press OK to get into “Bluetooth Devices”.
Press OK on “Add Bluetooth Devices”.
Press OK on Find SYNC, you will see a 6-digit PIN that you will have to enter in to your phone.

Phone
Locate and select your Settings.
Select “Bluetooth” and make sure it’s turned “On”.
Click “Scan” to search for SYNC. Once you see SYNC select it, and enter in the PIN displayed and click “Ok”.
After you go through the prompts on the vehicle make sure to check you phone to accept the transfer of your contacts and to allow MAP. If you don’t see them directly on your phones screen, slide down the notification bar at the top and they’ll be found their.

Hope is useful
