you don't need AA to do that, sync3 recognizes Pandora (most of the time) in the apps screen.

No one has Android Auto wirelessly running on Ford SYNC 3. It is not possible. They are just probably confused as to what Android Auto is versus Applink.

Got out there today and tried it. It works with the USB cable that came with the phone, and the satellite view is pretty cool.
Thanks for the help guys!

No. Why would you want to use a laptop when a phone works fine?

GT Pony may be thinking of creating a route using a computer because it's easier, and then you can send the route as a link to any device which will load each destination/waypoint. I do not know if you can do this with Ford's Nav but I'm inclined to say you cannot, as the URL is vendor specific, IE if you create a route in Google Maps you have to use google maps when opening it on another device.

But... it -will- work using Android Auto/Apple Carplay, as long as you open the link with your phone and use your phone.
