Only a few apps will appear on Sync3. On my phone, only Google Maps does. On my wife's phone, she gets Google Maps and Pandora. I hear a beta version of Audible will, but not the release version.

We definitely have more apps than that, but they are not compatible with Android Auto.

So, I upgraded through the Owner's site and everything is working fine. Only thing that didn't work out was that, according the the instructions, the system was supposed to write a file to the thumb drive that I was supposed to download to Ford so that they know the proper revision.

I don't see the file on the thumb drive. Anyone else seen that?

So I've checked several times and there is no update available for my 16 with version 1.0 both via Wi-Fi and website. Is it because I'm in Canada?

Do you have to back load if not rooted? Do you have any instructions. On samsung s8+.

Maybe called side loading instead of backloading.

Just updated my system to v2.2 and installed the USB to allow Carplay. Took around 15-20 minutes to complete it all. I'm pretty happy so far.
