Sync is beyond awful.... :(

[krt22]

The standard Sync works great. All I care to use it for are for hands free calling and playing music from my phone.

Even then I find myself turning the volume down because the exhaust sounds so freaking good.

+1

Quite content. The speakers seem fine to me as well, I may upgrade the door speakers but nothing more than that. Cant hear them well anyway in sport mode :cheers:

I can't think of a better Nav/Entertainment system than the sync 3. It's light years better than the old style and the old sync was better than my tahoes by a mile.

Plus are you really complaining about an entertainment system in a car that comes with 4 of them out the back stock?!

You have an excellent point there.

Love my new synch 3. If yours is unresponsive...it's broken, get it fixed. I love how fast it is. My I phone synched up seamlessly and I love it. Hand free commands work well and Nav system clarity is excellent. Car Play update coming later this year according to Ford.

Get rid of your smartphone and drive the car. And what the hell is Sync?

I have found sync 3 to be an excellent tool. It has nearly 100% success at understanding voice commands. It streams music well. My only issues are a habit of dropping sirius stations, and a refusal to recognize that a call had been terminated.

Since performing a little reboot, neither of those issues has resurfaced. I can't wait until more apps are playable from my Samsung Galaxy 6. Speakers however, are abysmal.

Mine drops my Bluetooth audio after a few minutes if I try and charge via USB, audio books wont play via USB, So no audio books and charging, same with phone gps. Both restaurants I tried to find in Kentucky, Sync Nav barfed on. The audio is so bad thank god you listen to the engine 90 percent of the time.

So 450 miles into my 2016 GT350 and have realized that sync 3 is horrrrrrible. It won't update w/ my iPhone, will not access any apps, NEVER recognizes any voice commands, the map is on par with 1st gen BMW technology from 2004 and the stereo is awful... While I love the car, Ford reaaaaaaaaalllllllllllly failed at the infotainment part. My friend has a new Chevy truck with Apple CarPlay and it is amazing in comparison!!

Anyone have any ideas?

Should have found a way for SYNC2. Sync is awesome. It is why I have bought 3 fords in 3 years.

The Sync 3 in my GT350 works great, I have had no issues working through my iPhone or with commands. My biggest complaint is the rear speakers are (were) crap. I replaced those 2 rear speakers with a set of Hertz HXL165's. It is not perfect, but it is an improvement. I"M HAPPY !

I'm still wondering what they are all talking about - and also why do people have to fiddle with their phones so much in the car?

I dumped my cell phone over a year ago - it's fantastic try it people.

 

[ohtobbad]

I need a cell phone for work, I need this car to help me escape work.
One of the reasons I loved my Harley, you couldn't hear the phone

 

[fuhrius]

this is one problem I'm not having with my car. lol.

 

[HizliBullet]

your problem isnt from sync..its because you got iphone.. android works very fast

 

[garagelogic]

I'd guess the issue with the OP is a PEBSAS error.
