NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

[OEMRadio]

I have two 2015 Fords, both with MFT, I want to eventually upgrade both. One is my 2015 Mustang, not much worry there. The other, a 2015 Edge sport has a screen on the right side of the cluster, will the data still propagate there from the new Sync3? Who might know this? Would an aftermarket upgrade from the company in Florida be "eligible" for upgrade?

Yes.. Everything will work.. part of the delay is that QNX is trying to make there part work with existing systems.. and that cluster is still a cluster that is in the current line up.. the APIMs communicate the same.. they have to.. because the only thing changing in the cars are the SYNC systems.. Eventually things may evolve further but as of now if you have MFT you can upgrade..

The only issue maybe cars that do not have physical buttons for climate controlled seats.. Ford has started to eliminate touch screen buttons in favor of going back to physical buttons for those that for some reason didn't like the onscreen buttons.. so we would have to verify there is capability in the sync 3 to have climate controls on the screen for the seats.. BUT if you have physical buttons in those cars like the mustang does.. you should be good to go..

Id be happy to help you upgrade

SO has anyone been able to install sync3 in a 2015 with sync2?

It's not a direct software 'install'. You need to replace the touchscreen and sync computer.

Who's actually done it? Conceptually you should be able to but I don't know of anyone who has swapped their base to Sync 3 or a MyFord Touch to Sync 3 in the Mustang yet.

I did here in Dallas.. for a dealer.. its not that big a job just expensive right now.. finding the parts at a reasonable cost are impossible.. the touchscreen and APIM have to be replaced.. you can re coupe some of that through selling your MFT system online..

Did you do MyFord Touch to Sync 3 or base Sync to Sync 3?

MFT to SYNC 3

Cool, I'm thinking about doing a swap when the price comes down.

So Ford, when can we SYNC 3 owners upgrade to run Android Play? It is time to move forward........

Exactly when they said... "Later this year".

Old Guard,

I imagine it'll be in November or December of this year.
They have to worry about releasing it first on their 2017 cars first before moving backwards on us 2016 owners. So I wouldn't be rushing out and checking everyday for an update anytime soon.

:doh:Well this is disappointing. I actually bailed on nav thinking AndroidAuto would be usable now...
