"In North America, Ford is making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available on all 2017 vehicles equipped with SYNC 3, starting with the all-new Ford Escape. Owners of 2016 vehicles equipped with SYNC 3 will have an opportunity to upgrade later in the year."

from here: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/01/04/sync-apple-carplay-android-auto.html

Funny, the owners manual for the 2016 we just got says it is equipped with the ability of Car Play and Android Auto. I have yet to try hooking up a phone though...

Really...? I've been waiting for this capability for a while. Can anyone confirm? From what I have been reading on the forums, this isn't available yet and probably won't actually be released this year.

Noe ford has clearly said as well. that for car play you will need special hardware which will be added by dealers.

for android auto it will straight plug and play

In more common terms. its upgraded USB with addition functionality. it will be a 1 hr job.

and for what i have heard and seen , it should be a free upgrade for all 2016 people.

I asked the tech guy that walked me through the electronic features of my car, he laughed and said everyone has been asking, he was told the 2016's would get Android Auto and Car Play approximately 3 months AFTER the 2017 Escapes hit dealerships.........

Yep, I have heard it is free as well. It damn well better be after Ford said the 16's would have it.
