Hmm, I wonder what build number on version 3.0 will support this - I'm currently running v3.0. 17276 but wasn't able to see Waze show up / mirror on my screen. I'm running an Android Note 8 and updated the Waze app which says it now supports Weblink.

I tried disabling Android Auto and leaving it enabled, pluggimg the phone into the USB and not plugging it in - no luck in any scenario.

Yup I have been beta testing it. Works well. I like it better than CarPlay

For the android auto users here, check out my post for a new app with gauges on your sync3 screen! (I have nothing to do with the dev but I have been wanting an app like this for a long time)

Luke, any thoughts if this would work with v3.0 17276 with the latest Waze Android app? I gave it a shot but wasn't able to get it to work.

So has anyone tried 17307 yet?

From what I read its basically a shell update?

yes that sync version will work but its the Waze app that isn't available with the needed changes.

It’s a “shell update” in that the only binary being distributed is the main application image. No updates to voice, gracenote, Nav, etc.. I would install it on top of 17276 for that reason, and not go straight to 17307. Hopefully all this is moot and Ford releases an official 3.0 soon.

3.0 is only available on explorer/lincoln navigator. It shows on PTS but nowhere else and is not available to install from OASIS. It checks against the VIN if you need to download it.
