Default What happened to the Basic Sync, Services

This included text and voice based navigation and business search. This used to be free on my 2010 F150. On my 2012 F150 it was $100/year. I can't seem to find either of those services on the new 2016 F150.

You have the new Sync 3 which is totally different than the older Microsoft Sync. You can sign up for SiriusXM Traffic and
Travel Link which is a paid service, but I believe that Sync Services from prior versions is gone.

The question was about Basic Sync Services, which I believe is NOT part of Sync 3.

If a 2015+ is equipped with Navigation, then I believe you are correct that the SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link is free for 5 years.

So it looks like now you have to get the Sync 3 to get those. I'll pass and continue using Google maps navigation. Just wish that was an app like Pandora, so I could see it on the trucks screen.
