Sync 3 missing Android Auto

So my Sync 3 system did not have AA in the menu. I did a Sync 2 to Sync 3 swap in my Fusion to gain Sync3 features / AA in general.

My mustang came with a Sync 3 on version 1.0. I just flashed the latest ( from ford.com) 2.3. But theres still no AA showing up on the screen? Anyone have any ideas how to figure this out or why this is happening?

I know that you do not need to replace your USB hub if you want to use Android Auto, that only applies to Apple Carplay. Seeing yours is a 2015, I am not sure if the USB hubs are different compared to the 2016 and onwards. I have heard that the update does take some time to apply the features even though Sync 3 states it is updated. Wait for another 3-4 hours and see if it appears.

There is nothing Android or Android Auto, i went through the whole system. So I need to replace my USB hub in the center console to have the Sync 3 system\screen SHOW Android Auto preferences \ ability to use Android Auto?

Again im familiar with Android Auto on my Fusion, i did a Sync 3 to Sync3 swap ( with the different\newer usb hub). But since this 2016 Mustang came WITH Sync3 and the newer looking hub(same looking one as i swapped into the fusion, black and blue combo led ring lights up) as well id assume it would just work with Android Auto auto...what am i missing?

AA and Carplay were added after the fact on the 2016's and thus require the new hub despite it already having sync 3. Pull the hub on the Mustang and see if it matches HU5Z-19A387-A if it doesnt then that is your problem and you will need to swap it out.

You ONLY need the hub for carplay. I have a 16 and when I updated to sync 3 2.3 it enabled android auto but not car play. When I updated the hub then carplay worked.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up. Update to version 3.0 and see if that fixes it. Theres a good post on the upgrade on a focus forum just follow it exactly.

I don't see how the hub, even if an updated one is necessary had anything to do with android auto icon showing up in sync 3. The icon should still be there, whether you have a supported hub or even have a phone connected or not. That's where I'm confused. What is the latest sync before you guys are running?
