Current SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information
After 3.0 update, Android Auto seems to have issues starting up. The menu item displays along with "Android Auto Preferences" for my phone. The phone itself shows android auto running, but I can't actually run it on the screen. I have to unplug and reconnect the phone. It's only taken one time to correct, but has happened multiple times now.
Uninstall Android Auto from your phone and re-install it. Worked for me and it seems much more responsive and connects faster than it did on sync3 ver2.0.
I just checked my Sync version in the truck and it says version 2.0. However, when I log into Fordpass on my computer and check for updates it says I'm up to date with version 2.3. Any ideas why the mismatch?
I’m doing the update now. Well, I’m trying. First time I got to the please restart screen (the system shuts down like 5 seconds after the screen comes up) restarted and about 5 min in it said the update failed. Factory reset and tried again. This time it got to the restart screen, let it shut down on its own, restarted and I am at updating system software for the last 15-20 minutes. Waiting to see what happens but if it fails again I’ll just try tomorrow.

I had the strangest occurrence on 3.0 today: AA was running and after I turned off the ignition I locked the doors and walked away, an hour later came back and the screen was on but blank and looked grey with backlight without sync3 turned on
Ford is just too lazy to keep a Daylight Saving calendar in the software, so when you have it on auto (GPS time) it will be an hour behind.
