It's alive!


Edit: I put a hotel room key (or similar plastic card) behind the faceplate that holds the USB port and the 12V power outlet, then use a flat head screwdriver to gently pop out the panel. from there it's easy to disconnect and pop out the USB module. Total time, about 5 minutes. And most of that was figuring out what I could use to pop out the faceplate.

Anyone else see this? Sounds like Ford wants to move away from CP/AA?

I don't see it as moving away, but enhancing the stock system as a third option.

Oddly you replace the USB hub in the armrest console, but CarPlay will only work on the front USB port under the radio. Go figure.

Wait what? Why would Apple play only work on the front one? I ordered the 1 port USB just to keep the front one functional but i would rather use the one on the armrest.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Not really sure. But without the updated hub, the front port does not work with CarPlay, so there's something about the new armrest hub. I do know (I'm pretty sure anyways) the front port is an extension of the armrest port (which is why the armrest hub has 2 USB connections). But yeah, I admit it's kind of odd that way.

I looked into this, it began way back in 2015 when sync 3 first came out, you may want to have the dealer check it out, as our updates are only for sync 3 software itself, not touching anything to do with nav side, thats a separate update altogether. check this out, video from dec 2015, and someone else's post in another forum

So two days in a row now I've gotten this error popping up on my 2016 Mustang GT Cali Special. Everything installed fine and it doesn't always happen, but when it does it's locked like this until I restart the car. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hold down RIGHT SEEK and EJECT

Go into Testing Settings

You can clear the navigation fault, calibration and some other stuff in there. I forget the exact options off the top of my head.

FYI, ordered the single port from TASCA on Thursday and it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Fast.

I just checked and Apple Play works in both my armrest or front ports with the HU5Z-19A387-A (which arrived today, and works great).

Also, I fixed my 'EU/US' region issue. It wasn't the Sync patch, it was a setting in the as-built config which I shouldn't have set. Fixed it back and its all good now, I'm seeing the familiar US Sync stuff, except for that little 'u' currency symbol instead of the '$'.

+1 My car is US Spec but I'm in Europe and I'd love to get the even decimal radio stations here

So there is an as-built setting which seems related. Best to go read the thread in the DYI subforum if you're interesting in modifying that. It requires some extra hardware and some unfriendly PC software.

This line: APIM*07D0-02-01 5553 XXXX XXXX
If you change the 5553 to 5753 and it seems to configure some parts of SYNC to think its in the EU region. That bit's behavior seems different in 2.2 than it was in 2.0, so YMMV and all that.

Are you gonna tell us which block it is in the as-built?
