SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information


Recommended Posts

Well after about an hour of strong language and force I got the USB module out and put the new one in and now have carplay. I think the best thing I could have done was remove the leather side panels and the back shelf cover to help with pushing the module out. I just ran into a little issue where all the sides and top would pop out but the bottom just wouldn't give. Those clips are something else man.

 

I also wanted to thank everyone in here for the feedback and tips to make this as easy as possible to accomplish. :victory:

Hello all, new to this forum....I have a 2016 Edge Titanium, Sync 3 1.0 NON NAV. I am contemplating upgrading before actual release. This being less than one week before driving from Maine to Key West. I have a OnePlus 3 phone, which is not on the list of phones that are compatible. Will this work with my phone or is it a complete risk for nothing to update?

thanks so much in advance for your help with this. It would be really nice to have either Google Maps or Waze show on the screen!!

Thanks so much, Malcolm. yes, i'm using that now for audiobooks. Is it worth taking the risk of voiding warranty? i've only had the car for 4 mos. did you do it to yours?

I have the Nav version update procedure is slighty different but it should not void your warranty as it is an OS update. They were impressed actually at the dealer when I went in for the steering wheel fix. Yours requires 2 updates to complete I suggest you read the thread before doing it.

My two 911 emergency contacts were deleted during the update and I had go in and enter them again. All other program settings & radio stations stayed the same so I didn't think to check that feature until just last night while I was playing with some other settings. I don't know if anyone else noticed this after their updates however if you use that feature & haven't verified yours are still programmed best check.

No you can it just mentions that it was most likely a dealer upgrade if it went ota. I upgraded from 1.0 Nav. You can do it yourself then swap the usb module.

Edit: if you upgrade and do not see a CarPlay thing in options you will also need the usb module, if you see the option your module is new enough.

Yes, There are instructions inside of the ZIP file. If not, you must copy the contents of the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 or EXTFat formatted flash drive.

Yup extracted the file to the root of my drive. I'm using EXTFAT... there is only 2 files the sync my ride and the auto file Very strange. The USB light is blinking , just nothing on screen.

What do you mean by the hashes?

It is used by databases to look things up quickly or in this case to make sure you have a non corrupt file to flash to your Sync 3 system.

I personally use this Shell extension to check them on my machine if your using windows. http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/

Non-corrupt, or more importantly, non-hacked or changed. With that said, not really an issue. It is not easy to screw with these install files.

So my 8 month old car with 7,000 miles on it went in to have the drivers seat track mechanism replaced under warranty as it had already started to feel disconcertingly loose; not a good sign.

 

I asked the dealer if they could try to upgrade my Sync 3, which is currently at V1.0. They said that their IDS system shows my car to be completely up to date at 1.0. I see responses on this forum that the 2016's will be upgraded by the end of 2016, now changed to sometime in 2017; why do you think that I don't believe that they will ever do this upgrade? After avoiding Ford's products for literally decades, I came back and purchased a top of the line 2016 Edge Sport, loaded with expensive options, that has a supposedly brand new Sync operating system that is actually already out of date. It's not like I bought a low spec Fiesta with thin profit margins.

 

Please forgive the rant, but it seems like a Cavalier attitude to take with their customers. Unless there is some good old fashioned customer service oversight, it doesn't bode well for repeat business potential.
