NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

[OEMRadio]

Note: Apple CarPlay is available on 2017 model year Ford vehicles with compatible SYNC 3. Owners of 2016 model year Ford vehicles with SYNC 3 are required to perform a software upgrade and purchase a hardware upgrade to use Apple CarPlay. Please check back on the Ford Owner site this summer for more information about these upgrades.

BS. We were sold 16's on them having that feature and it "only" being a sofware update. More and more reason to hate ford every day.

Ford has the worst communication when it comes to the Sync line. They screwed up MyFord Touch.. and swore Sync 3 would be different.. and it isn't.. same lies different day. They have been running CarPlay from the time they decided Car Play was a go on Sync 3.. I cant imagine what Ford is thinking.. but they need to fire whoever is in charge of the Sync roll out and Sync brand..

i just got my new 16 mustang a few days ago and i am looking forward to the carplay update and release; i did not get navi because i thought i could use my phone and sync 3 but apparently not yet...

Shame on Ford. This should be out already. They have it ready and are just waiting at this point.

i heard september a few times; but nothing official from ford except you need a new USB port installed

 

[scott_0]

except you need a new USB port installed

thats only for Apple, who just has to be different (difficult imo) :tsk: no isheep here, no care

fordservice on another board chimed in with the news about needing a new USB port...ill try to find it

edit here is the post

"Hey all,

Thanks for your interest in SYNC 3! The upgrade to include Apple CarPlay requires a hardware installation by your local Ford dealership, and fees may apply. Android Auto will be provided as a SYNC software update which can be downloaded directly from your SYNC Owner account. For 2016 SYNC 3-equipped vehicles, both CarPlay and Android Auto will be released later this year, so stay tuned!

Let me know if you have any questions!"

You're not kidding. Anyone know what hardware changes are required? I was hoping it was a software update only.
