NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

[TexasRebel]

"New SYNC Connect technology powered by 4G LTE enables remote start, unlock doors, check fuel level and locate a parked vehicle via smartphone"

So I've gone all through this thread but haven't read anything about anyone attempting this function.

SYNC connect requires a 4G modem that doesn't exist in the 16s.

The Non-Nav DropBox link shows broken The mirror link opens up. Is ZIP Extractor program safe to use ? I know very little about programs.

( Edit ) All good now. Up date works perfect with my Nexus 6P.

Thank you to all those who contributed to this thread and mirrored the download. Updated my Nav equipped car today and it went without a hitch.

The 2017 part shipped to me today, too...

between the HU5Z-19A387-A that is somehow going to be delivered yesterday and the GR3Z-19A387-B that shipped today... I should get carplay working. I'll even get to see the differences in parts.

did santa come today; i mean the mailman??

Are there specific links to down load if it's an or non available and if it's for andoid or iPhone? I seemed to have missed to link for the non nav one someone said the link was broken. Can this be downloaded on my andoid tablet or does it have to be downloaded on a computer then put on thumb drive to transfer to the car?

Confirmed 2016 F150 Sport SuperCrew with v 1.0 purchased 12/15 with 2 front usb with nav. The 2.2 file worked. It took almost 35/40 mins. In the end I thought it failed and a few reboots caused it to take 2.2. Android auto is present but apple CarPlay is not. Shane I hoped that it would have worked.

Just want to confirm (again) that the GJ7Z-19A387-B works perfectly. Yes, the front usb stops working. Someone said on here that the front usb still charges. Mine doesn't. But the two ports in my console work great.

I think I am going to order this: https://www.amazon.com/Metra-AX-USB...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YXSTZKM2C8MKMRVWNCB6 This should allow me to plug in the cars front port to one of my center console usb ports, so I have the option of either combination. Just a warning, I'm not sure if this will work so I am not responsible if something goes wrong!

Hey guys

So I gave this cable idea a shot. Unfortunately, it does not work. While it did allow my front port to charge both my Nexus 6P and iPhone 6s, it does NOT provide USB. In fact, the car said "unsupported USB device connected." Now maybe the cable I purchased has a non standard wiring pattern, but actually I think Ford's wiring pattern on this Mini-USB is non standard. Oh well.

You know what is funny? I am an apple fan boy. I have apple everything. After spending $50 to get CarPlay, I admit, Android Auto is better. It may be partially due to Google Maps, but the interface is better suited for multiple apps. For instance, the Android has 5 icons across the bottom that stack up to reduce clutter. I have a few music apps on my Android, and they tile under one icon.

Sorry to confuse - two port hub works fine.

No. USPS still says the truck that left Providence, RI at 22:30 on the 16th has not arrived anywhere. I'm calling tomorrow if there's no update by morning. I wonder why they aren't worried about their driver.

UPS tracking has started for the 2017 part. Expected arrival will be the 28th.

Same thing is happening with my order but mine is stuck in Cincinnati...... I was supposed to receive it on the 19th:frusty:

This is why USPS almost went bankrupt before amazon started utilizing them for package delivery. I wouldn't be so frustrated if they were accurate and transparent with their delays. Crap happens, its the holiday season, I get it but your customers deserve to know where their packages are and not assume they're lost. Rant over lol

Android Auto is nice and all, but I think Ford could have integrated Android Auto and Sync 3 a little better. Too much menu swapping.

what do you mean? its that way on all systems, may be a few variances, but for the most part theyre all the same

That's why I said in the beginning when I got the 2017. Carplay does not replace the function of the dash. It's just an app that controls the phone.
