Ford Sync (stylized Ford SYNC) is a factory-installed, integrated in-vehicle communications and entertainment system that allows users to make hands-free telephone calls, control music and perform other functions with the use of voice commands. .Make sure you read your SYNC ® /SYNC ® 2/SYNC ® 3 Owner’s Manual before using this feature for the first time. This site provides useful information on commonly used features but is not intended to replace the detailed instructions and warnings contained in your SYNC ® /SYNC ® 2/SYNC ® 3 Owner’s Manual. SYNC ® is available on most Ford vehicles. Features/functionality vary.

Well, if you're like me - you love the Ford Sync 3 interface - while it's not perfect, it's pretty darned good! Carplay is a nice update but if you've updated to IOS 11 - you'll notice some weird things going on - but guess what!? If you don't want to wait for the WiFi update - you can install SYNC 3 Version 3.0 using a USB drive!
