ok I am looking to upgrade a 16 king ranch...I would like to get the apple carpal...is that available?

 

Get the new USB hub, find the upgrade links online, download them to a USB stick, and then upload them via the USB port in your F150.

The upgrade is not officially available from Ford to upgrade via WiFi.

Install the new USB after the upgrade but most people say you can install the new USB hub before the upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Have a good day.

 

I have a 2016 Expedition and was wondering if this would work for it also, or is it just for F150's? We don't use Apple but would very much like the addition of Android Auto. Thanks for the help!

 

nope works on every ford model with sync3

 

For a 2017 this update will do nothing for you that I can see.

 

So I have a 2017 F150 that has Sync 3 Navi version 2.0 which includes Apple Auto and Apple Car Play. The ford software is horrible and every time I plug my phone in it reacts differently.

For example:

Sometimes it does not even recognize the USB phone plugged in
Sometimes the apps show up and run
Sometimes the apps do not show up
Sometimes they show up and do not run

Ironically if you run just android auto or just car play they work flawlessly.

But if you try to run pandora (or any other app for that matter) under the ford system it is total crap (very inconsistent, mostly not working)

None of it ever works right. it's never Just plug it in and it works.

I have tried both ports and multiple cables including new out of the box apple cables.

So my question is will 2.2 correct any of this? Will I break/void anything with 2.2?

Is anyone else seeing these issues?

My goal is to use the ford Navi with the Ford system with connected apps.

 

Finally one other question - did anybody happen to bookmark where to download 2.2 and the installation instructions - I know I am being lazy, just trying to prevent looking through 250 pages of threads to find it, thought someone might bookmark it. Thanks!

 

Been reading through this thread and I am hoping to get two answers short and sweet.

1) Has any Sync3 2.0 or 2.2 update been released yet via OTA? I have a 2016 F150 and have received nothing yet.
2) Is the build that is currently available for download going to be the final version? I really want the 2.2 update and dont want to wait for the OTA, but I also dont want to flash a pre release build if the final OTA will be a newer build.

Thanks

 

So in a 2017 Truck with Navi - going from 2.0 to 2.2 does nothing? What is the purpose then? What about:

Change Log:

Sync 3 2.2.6

This software contains the following enhancements:
Updated voice recognition engine.
Bluetooth phone, media, and Wi-Fi improvements.
Navigation user interface improvements (if equipped).

Ford has totally screwed this up. Ford reminds me of Trump. Can't do anything correctly.
