Canadians do your mobile apps work..sync 3?

[demarad1]

Hi Folks!
Scenario: I have an iphone 6. when connecting to either USB hub (either below the sync 3, or in the armrest) it powers my phone, however, i have no option showing in sources on the sync 3 to connect to a usb device or other. As well, my sync 3 will not update the mobile apps. when I enable mobile apps, and go to update, it just hangs on that screen and says updating. nothing happens.

Question: does any Canadian with the sync 3 system have an issue connecting their iphone to the USB, and not have it show as a source on the sync screen, or have issues updating mobile apps?

I took it to the dealer today because neither usb would charge/power my phone, or do any of the above. Got it back from the dealer, and miraculously it now powers the phone, but nothing else. they claim they did nothing to it.
Thanks for your ear!

just a yes or no is good too! i'm wondering if i have the only problem here. would be nice to know if it's me only, or if others have experienced this, or if it's just us Canadians that don't have a fully functioning sync 3 unit...
cheers

Aman, thanks for the reply....so does your usb even recognize your phone or anything else? Mine doesn't know a device is connected.
How were you able to get Spotify to load to the car?

my usb recognize the phone, i downloaded it on the phone..

Best way to listen to songs, connect phone and you can browse through your playlists from itunes.

I want to have a weather app, if you find any weather app let me know

I will, I guess I need the dealer to realize that my system doesn't recognize that I have a device plugged in first! Damn thing. I figured I'd be the first with this issue! lol. Once I get it fixed I can update this post so future folks know what it may be, and I'll update you on apps that work as well.

Is this your 1st Ford? APPS don't work in Canada on the head units. Never did and FORD CANADA shows no efforts to change that. I did had a couple talks with my CSM about it. We can't do anything with the wifi. And I don't start with your iPhone. :cheers:

Well got the usb issue fixed. They needed to order a media hub unit and replace it. Now the car recognizes the phone but updating mobile apps is a diff story....just keeps spinning and spinning. Yes first mustang....didn't know that Canada had issues with that. It's crazy that we don't have the access that the USA does!
