CarPlay
I am not able to update past 2.0 to the version currently available from Ford...(2.2) That means I can't run Apple Carplay and the 2.2 addresses some bugs with the earlier versions of Sync 3. You basically abandon all upgrades or bug fixes from Sync 3 by using the Rostra module. That was never communicated or known beforehand. Basically any time I take my truck to the dealer, I could come home with a non-working system. That is not acceptable.

Exactly. Have to have hub regardless of 2.0 or 2.2. The only issue is if your 2016 had a late Summer build, the hub would have been included. If prior to this time, you have to replace.

Much news in the way of this module and Rostra... It appears that the blackouts are still not fixed. I spent a weekend driving to a concert in another state and had multiple blackouts. Also android auto does not appear to work with the latest version I have. I was a bit presumptuous it seems after having a couple weeks of no blackouts.
I reached out to Rostra again and they are going to replace all of the first modules that have issues to the new version that just shipped from Japan. It should be here the third week of June. It will be compatible with he latest 2.2 version and should have equivalent features of the old module. Rostra is very concerned about being here for us it seems. Let's hope the new module is everything it is supposed to be.

One more update...android auto not working quite right could have more to do with Google play music and other apps since their latest update. It still looks like the latest update for the current module is the most stable.

This camera mod has made me dread opening my door to see if I get the Ford Logo or the BLACK SCREEN. I get pissed daily...This has gone on way too long! I haven't had cameras working since Ford updated my sync but I still get the black screen.
Sorry for the rant!
