First of all, a HUGE THANK YOU to those who shared the files and helped the community out. I have a Lincoln MKC, and somehow stumbled upon this while searching for Carplay in 2016 Fords. I have the MKC 2016 with Nav, and I loaded the 2.2 update, flawlessly. At first when it comes up, SIRI is not there, nor is the NAV... After about 5 minutes it all reappears again, so don't panic. I can confirm on the 2016 MKC you do need to purchase the USB ports. I ordered them from Mcsweeney Ford, it was about $62 bucks shipped, I ordered on Thursday and it arrived on Saturday. On the MKC it's very difficult to access the ports because they are inside of a compartment in the front, which makes larger tools difficult to use to try it off. Low and behold, Harbor Freight to the rescue, I found a little pick and hook set for $1.99 (YES THATS RIGHT JUST A DOLLAR NIGHTY NINE!). http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-pick-and-hook-set-66836.html I used the little L shaped tool, and pushed it down into the middle center top of the usb and it popped right out. Keep in mind both wires attached to the USB are secured with little locking clips, so you need to use the little pick tool or a small screwdriver to push down on the little lock to release it and then gently pull the cables out. It was a snap, using the L tool, took me like 5 minutes.. Done. Carplay in my Lincoln MKC, as promised by Lincoln, but delivered by myself, McSweeney ford, and some fabulous folks on this forum for sharing the update. Merry Christmas everyone! Oh, and BTW, Carplay is a bit over rated if you ask me. You can only use Apple maps, not waze or google maps. Fortunately Apple Maps has gotten better. Spotify works as well as Iheartradio and Pandora. The spotify app is decent, but I like the Ford one better because it shows the cover art, the carplay one does not. Overall though, I think in areas where I'm really unfamiliar the apple maps/carplay display will be awesome. For my daily drive around town during rush hour, I will continue to use Waze because it knows which freeway is least congested.
