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?

Yea all the Ford systems are crap although it's a huge upgrade from the last version it's no where near BMW tech. Dodge and Chevy both have better systems.

It's funny that everything you list.. is exactly what the Sync 3 does better than all it's competitors. As a guy with a new M5 and M4 in the garage with the latest BMW navi iDrive.. it's abysmal. The one time I drove a 15' GT PP with navi before putting down an order on a GT350.. I thought it was WORLD's better than the 15' M4/M5 iDrive. Night and day difference.

My Sync 3 works good, about the same as the Sync 1 in my wife's 2010 Fusion. It's the Sirius satellite radio that's got me PO'ed. It cuts out like AM radio used to do on long trips. We had the same issue on the 2010 Fusion. Cancelled that subscription as well.

In terms of usability, it's fine. Compared to many higher end systems like the ones in my Aston, Mclaren or Ferrari's, it's incredibly user friendly.

Aston Martin B&O (unlike the awful Audi B&O) is probably the best in car audio system in the world, but the user interface is abysmal, so it's all relative!

I own a 2013 aston Martin vanquish, and I must say its much better than their older system ( owned a 2009 vintage) but that system is seriously so stupid it takes ages to do anything with it, specially navi. On the other hand the B&O system is amazing but still that alignment on the screen keep bothering me everytime I look at it and its not fully straight kinda on an angle.
