Depends on your trim level of your truck ( lariat's and up have it standard). You may not have the option installed. Like the claimate it controls, some trucks have them in sync and some do not. These settings where also in v1.0 on my Plantnium.

A few pages back somebody posted a video. It's not hard, you just pull it straight out. Just start on the sides and work back and forth. Use a plastic trim tool to help pop it out. It takes some force to get it to pop out. Cables are short on the back, so don't yank it he hub when it pops free.

What's up with that? The other four are the same:
HN1T-14G381-LG.tar.gz HN1T-14G423-CA.tar.gz
HB5T-14G386-TCB.tar.gz HN1T-14G391-CC.tar.gz

It really isn't needed as FordPass app does the exact same thing once connected.

Here is a decent article I found explaining how Car Play (and generally Android Auto) work & what they do...

Just saw this on you tube where everything on your phone mirrors on your
screen! In other words they add Android system to sync 3. Dose anyone know how that works?

I tried the link from the fusion site and it did NOT work. use the one below:
ftp://ftp.macg467.com/
For those having issues with android auto not coming up when plugging in their phone, try a different USB cable. I went through three different usb cables and finally found that works.
