The wife just bought a 2017 Escape Titanium with SYNC 3 and it has android auto and apple play on it. Bad news though, it doesn't work with all phones. She had to buy a new HTC phone and had to have it updated at the phone store before it would work. It would pair, just won't connect until the updates were applied. Don't have a clue about what's available in the F Series but Ford has it on the street in the Escape platform.

 

Dam even when it comes , will only work with certain phones , that's ridiculous . I figured android is android . that sucks . Already bought latest s7 for it , that's a bummer ,and will probly only work with older phones !@#$%^&

 

You can get this notice from Oasis, if you have access. It outlines the Sync 3 requirements and what is coming. If you have the old Sync3, you can PAY the dealer to update the software to Version 2.2 and it will work when it comes available for the F150. Otherwise, the updates will come to your Sync 3 Version 2.0 and 2.2 via the air at no cost to you. They have it in the Escape platform and works pretty decent, much better than previous versions.You can do a search for "Compatible phones Sync 3" and there is a Ford website that will give you the phones required to make it work. Use the 2017 Escape in the Ford website search for a full list as the Escape is the only model with it as of now.

JUST GOT OFF FORD ...HERE IS RESPONCE =
MY dealer told me it would come out near END OF 2016 .
James says:
STATED AS A FACT
Eric says:FROM FORD
I understand, I know that many owners are eagerly awaiting the update, and I wish i could provide a more precise date, however we have not been given one yet. Trust me, i am among the owners that is waiting for the update as well. We are also trying to work with the dealers as best as possible, as we have had reports of misstated facts being provided when selling the vehicles that do not yet have this feature.
James says:
THANX ---- I AM GOING TO LOOK FOR SUIT AND JOIN , ITS JUST NOT RIGHT , LIKE I SAYN BOUGHT BECAUSE DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE ITN END OF 2016

 

If you read between the lines, more than likely we may have to wait for the 2018's to come out before we see the update. The new version of sync 3 was supposed to be installed across the board on all vehicle lines that had sync 3 in the 2017 model year. The only one that actually got it was the escape/MKC line. Given Fords track record on updates, 2018 or later seems probable.

I had a 2012 focus with my ford touch or sync 2 and they were talking about adding apple car play and android auto back then via update, fast forward 5 years and we still don't have it.

 

Latest on my sync 3 2016 f-150 no updates , No way - no where - can't pay at dealer ,,,,AND this radio won't even update SIRIUS no comericals music !

Do a Google search, their is a member on another forum who has posted the v2.2 update for Sync 3 that enables Android Auto and CarPlay. I downloaded it, put it on a flash drive and updated my 2016 from Sync 3 v1.0 a week or so ago. For CarPlay to work you also have to purchase a new USB hub to replace the one in your truck. I believe the cost was around $100 and it just takes a few minutes to pop out and replace yourself.

 

does your radio have NAV to start with ?
do you have 2016 f-150 Sync3 NO NAV ?
thanx
JIM

 

I do have Nav on my truck, I think there might have been 2 different files posted but I don't remember for sure.

 

when I find dl's -- page is gone , no longer exist and so on ,,,

 

AND all the units that a person can buy and put nav in there radios ( $1000), are pirated .and when ford finally send update out , update will erace there radio and put back to what came with truck , according to there VIN number ,,amazing technology .
