SYNC 3 Obsoletes the Need for NAV

[PhillMcKraken]

what sync 3 apps are there that are out yet?

It used apps from the 1st gen applink so there's quite a bunch. The sync site has a list. Spotify is all I use though.

I used the Spotify applink for a little bit but I found it problematic. It was slow to start up, didn't always become available, and although I could select a playlist I couldn't see the songs in the playlist.

I have reverted back to just using my phone to run Spotify via Bluetooth Streaming Audio.

Any updates with CarPlay and Android Auto?!? Looked around but didn't see anything yet.

So is adding the NAV portion to the SYNC3 as easy as just getting the correct module and installing it behind the monitor? I'm sure there are some pinout changes needed too - but for a "swap", I'm sure someone out there is working on an at-home upgrade.

Hey BDMACH!,

Nothing new to report. We're still working on it.

Make sure to keep up with the Ford Media Center: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en.html

Anybody having problems with pandora not starting up or connection drops from Sync 3? When i go and try to reconnect, the app no longer appears in the apps section. PIA.

Hi Alloy,

Try rebooting SYNC 3 if you haven't already. Hold down the POWER BUTTON and the right SEEK ARROW.

You have to replace the APIM.. no wiring needs to be changed to upgrade to navigation.. But replace the APIM and have it programmed correctly for your car. APIM is $1000 and has a $300 core

When I ordered my car it was like a $795 option.

We're not talking a $4000 option here.

If $795 is going to make or break your car purchase, you probably can't afford the car anyways.

I've used my nav 2 times in the 10 months I've had my car, but ordering a car without navigation was not an option for me.

What the hell is the purpose of a big pretty screen without navigation?

You could also be like me, where I get calls at the worst possible moments :lol:

Trust me, you don't have friends who don't get "Don't call me unless I call you"
