Perfect OEM Upgrade for Sync 3 Ford USB for Apple CarPlay
Certain Ford models with Sync 3 are not sold with Apple CarPlay. Ford has vaguely promised to make the upgrade possible. As of June of 2017, they have not made good on their promise. No updates have been forthcoming for owners of 2016 vehicles in California although the availability was to be made as of Dec 2016. Those who want an upgrade must take the initiative to purchase and have installed the USB hub and the software flashed by a dealer. There is a cost involved, standard labor rates apply. This hardware plus software upgrade is necessary for owners of Sync 3 equipped Ford vehicles to use Apple CarPlay. To do so one must of course own an Apple iPhone. The installation, software and field test by a technician can be done in about an hour, and includes removal of the existing USB hub, installing of the new hub, and downloading to the car the correct Sync 3 version.
