Hoping the waze app will support both apple and andriod on sync 3

You most likely could do that with the correct 2016 hardware.why would I not be able to upgrade to the MFT with sync 3 since im already 2016?
if 2015 can go from base to sync 2 MFT, why cant a 2016 goto sync 3 MFT with the correct 2016 parts?
How so?Ford knows how to fuck its customers

Right it does but it would be great if Ford offered a upgrade service for a minimal fee of returning your old headunits for a newer one and pay a fee I'm guessing. Doesn't seem undoable and the people getting stuck with a system that clearly wasn't very good to begin with. It's not bad but its not great either . I worked for Ford , trust me they knew sync 2 suckedHow so?
I'm assuming you have a 2015 with with Sync 2? The hardware is underpowered to support Car Play, and you bought it without Car Play, why would Ford be obligated to someone retroactively support it[?] The time I even heard anything mentioned was after the introduction of the Sync 3 system, and even then, it was only a rumor - honestly, if Car Play didn't/doesn't come to the '16 Sync 3, I'm OK with that.
Don't get me wrong, it's a bummer to miss out on a nice feature by one model year, but improvements happen, technology moves on.
Oh yeah, something like that would be cool - even some TV manufacturers like Samsung have made the "smart" portion modular so you can upgrade for way cheaper.Right it does but it would be great if Ford offered a upgrade service for a minimal fee of returning your old headunits for a newer one and pay a fee I'm guessing.

I did buy a 2010.Just be happy you didn't buy a 2010 Mustang in 2010.
Because if I even remotely thought this was coming I wouldnt have gotten my 2015 at all, and the head units are almost exactly the same from '15-'16, dont act like there is some sort of huge gap in technology.How so?

You are exactly right lmao !! I love when people say technology vastly improved and in no way identical I worked there they new it sucked but even employees didn't know till it was to late that we'd get screwed on the touch screen systemBecause if I even remotely thought this was coming I wouldnt have gotten my 2015 at all, and the head units are almost exactly the same from '15-'16, dont act like there is some sort of huge gap in technology.
For years they have been saying they werent going to let google in and foolishly we believed it, again if this was even rumored to be an option the second year of their brand new flagship redesign I would be willing to bet half the people would have waited just to avoid the BS from the current sync system.

Exactly.Just because something is the same size and shape doesn't mean it's the same, let alone "exactly the same"
It has all new hardware, based on a dual-core CPU running at 1.7GHz (ARM Cortex 15) from Texas Instruments. The previous SYNC system ran on a single core CPU running at 600MHz (ARM Cortex A8) from Freescale, mft uses a resistive touch screen, sync 3 has capacitive touch screen which allows for multitouch which is needed for pinch to zoom. It's not just a simple software update to change from mft to sync 3. Now that doesn't mean you can't switch the hardware out but it's probably not cost effective.
