What cool apps work with Sync 3

[16mach1]

I am old not good with computers, screens and apps. Not really sure what an app is but I just upgraded to new version on sync and dealer told me there are cool apps I can now use. My son did get me waze and pandora working but is there any other good apps all you young tech savvy stangers are using.

If you use an iPhone, check here for a list: https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/

Also, you can access your messages, make calls, etc using a screen that looks like your iPhone screen. You can push the voice button and say, "Text Bill" and Siri will ask you who to send it to. Then you can say what you want the text to say, and Siri will read it back to you and ask if you want to send it.

Android Auto is similar, but I don't have experience with it.

That's about it. Even then it's hit or miss if the apps will even work or come up the next time you start the car. The Ford Alexa stinks, I'd rather they just had an Amazon music app work through sync.

I can't believe how much they are marketing this on the Lincoln commercials now like it's some sort of amazing system. It's all experimental garbage at best and behind most other car manufacturers.

Best bet is to stick with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Jail broken phone can have any app on the screen

OP said they are not great with computers; I don’t think they are going to tackle jailbreaking a phone.

Correct I am a law biding citizen.

First you want me to jailbreak my phone next you will want me to remove the tags from my mattress and I guess you think it is ok to break the speed limit. No, no, no, not for this guy I do not live on the edge. Did you not see my post that I de- tuned my car. High 10's is all the excitement this old fat guy can handle.

You can run Sync 3 with Applink or Use Apple Carplay / Android Auto depending on your phone. When you use the latter you lose a lot of the Sync 3 features including the Nav

I personally prefer to use Sync 3 with Applink - I only use Acast for podcasts myself but you could use Waze amongst others. Sync 3 allows text messages to be read out or displayed to you plus replies using sync. There are lots of features but you just need to try it to find everything.

Careful... I hear the mattress police sometimes lurk here...
