Aug 1 2016 3465 - 2016 F150/Edge/MKX Vehicles – SYNC 3 Software Version Differences Starting 3rd Quarter 2016

Some 2016 F150, Edge and MKX vehicles with SYNC 3 built beginning 3rd quarter 2016 may have software that might present the customers with some new characteristics such as: a different display background, different sounding SYNC 3 voice prompts, or maybe equipped with Android Auto. This is an intentional change and no module should be condemned because of these differences. Flashing a module to a different software level due to this difference is not available nor is it supported. Refer to the Owners Guide for the vehicle in question to understand the proper operation and functionality of the SYNC 3 system features. The SYNC version can be found in the Settings menu under General then About if needed for comparison of a like module.

 

Well ain't that some crap.

 

Yep, quite dissapointed.

Looks like the part change over from 16MY to 17MY wasn't "clean" and some trucks got out with the newer part.

Still waiting for our upgrade to support CarPlay etc.

 

I couldn't help but notice for 2017 Sync Connect for the XLT is a $235 (@ MSRP) option

 

Not sure what your point is? There is a cost associated with adding a 4G cellular modem to the truck, are you suggesting it should be a free option?

 

Where did you get that from? It was just an observation.

 

My apologies.

 

OP can you link the source?

 

You would think Ford would finally set a date on when the 2.0 version will be released for everyone else.

 

Although if you read the highlighted portions of the original post, it would seem as though no update to 2.0 will be coming for those of us with earlier 16's.
