NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

[TexasRebel]

What year is your Mustang? Do you have Navigation on your car or no Navigation?

the VIN provides all of that info if you look it up on http://etis.ford.com

vehicle has nav, and sync III

He's doing what he needs to do. I think it's just an off-brand/low-quality flash drive issue and the APIM isn't playing nice.

Agreed... Hope all turns out well.

I've tried a couple times and haven't gotten it to work. I was hoping now that Ford was updating other 2016s they would release the Mustang's also

I did the manual update posted on this thread and it worked out just fine. Very happy and a whole different experience than just using Sync 3. Android Auto is so much nicer. I am posting my videos below on the setup. Still need to take another video using Android Auto, but it works fine like I said.

Is the top video accurate? I thought it was two files, un zip first one, install, clean off, unzip second one, install.

Anyway, I saw on the car in settings, turn on android auto, but other than that, no change at all.?

Current USB is 8GB, but I have only been formatting in FAT32. Ill try exFAT next.

VIN is 1FA6P8TH9G5202683

UPDATE: Just tried reformatting to exFAT and tried update again. Still ran into same error of running out of storage space or incompatible with this version.

Like I said try bigger size usb drive first like 16GB

Run Android Auto and plug into the USB port.

You should have an Android Auto Preference icon menu on the last screen on the Sync 3 if correctly updated (Settings--Android Auto Preferences). Go in there and enable the option and then also open Android Auto on your Android phone once you have connected the phone to the car via the USB. Follow the on screen prompts on your Android phone. Once set up, every time you plug in the USB from your phone to the Mustang's USBs, Android Auto will auto load all the time. I will try to do a video and post in case you still can't get it to work. You should also check under the About menu to ensure the update was successful (Settings--General--About SYNC). Refer to my video to check the version.

Yes to both. My usb is sort of built into the front usb port, I have not tried the rear usb port, I'm out of town.

Did the update and installed the new USB port and all is well! Apple CarPlay works great - now I just need more apps.

Looking on the phone menu, it has accepted and rejected cars under connected cars, and there are none. Can't figure out how to get it accepted.

To me it sounds like ur trying to install the NAV version on a NON Nav system . (not saying that what u do, just stating )
i have done it just fine with a 4GB USB Drive, no need for a USB3, our car only accept USB2 max.

Can u please move the files to ur drive and then upload a pic of how the files look on the drive?
also upload a pick of ur "About" screen from the headunit?

Victory is MINE!

Just did a successful upgrade. Looks like the bigger USB was the key to the solution.

I used a 32gb and reformatted it to exFAT... worked like a charm!

Thank you guys for the help...This is why I love this forum.
