I want to install a Type C Hub (HC3Z-19A387-B or HC3T-14F014-A) in the center armrest so that I can use my Type-C to lightning cable like I do every where else, including the Cadillac and Audi in the stable.

Edited for more info:
My car is navigation equipped, with the Digital Dash, Safe and Smart Package, and it has sync version 3.4 installed by the dealer.

edit: the part arrived. It fits in the console just fine. The type-C port works along with the type-A. HOWEVER it does not have a spot for the front USB plug that sits under the start button to work. It’s a blank slot on the module, sadly.

from what I can tell, it *should* work like it does in other Fords, I just haven’t found any info for our cars.

Has anyone tried this before?
Looks like you'd have to update to Sync 3 version 3.4 to be compatible.

My car came from the dealer with 3.4 installed, so I’m good there. I just don’t wanna pull the trigger on an $80 purchase without some idea if it’ll work or not….

Darn I’m on 3.0 oh well
You can search the forum - there is an easy and FREE way to upgrade to 3.4. I swapped my '19 GT to Sync 3 and used a '16 Sync 3 APIM that was V1.0. I upgraded to 2.2, then upgraded to 3.4

I also upgraded my wife's '17 EB Premium to 3.4 - zero issues so far.

I had that theme - I use the Shelby 500 theme now. I like it better. And 3.4 for my OLD Apim is faster than before and the screen resolution / font is nicer.

Why not just buy on Amazon? Try it and if it doesn’t work, return it.
