Ford Sync 3 In Depth Review and Demonstration

[@Breizh-li8fh]

Just bought a Ford Ranger and was about to read the instruction book. No need now, thanks to your great video. THANKS A MILLION SIR.

[@Askjorgelopez]

Breizh 29292929 you are welcome

[@arbilois]

I never owned a ford or a truck. Your videos have been amazing! Thanks again for the no stupid music and intros, and very clear info. I am enjoying my 2018 F150 king ranch a whole lot more because of you. Thank you sir~!

Excellent work my friend. You blew this old man's socks off. Very VERY happy with my (new to me) 2017 F250 diesel!

We just bought a 2018 Fusion with sync three so I'm going to be viewing this again.

[@wb6she]

Jorge, I own a 2016 Ford Edge, and thanks, this really helps me out with lots of things, be watching, and thanks again!

[@raulplaza2231]

Hi Jorge, I'm amazed at how informative your videos are, I'm a fan of you already. I just bought a Ford Edge 2018, and I'm totally new to all the benefits and tricks this vehicle came with. I have been watching your posts and have learned some of them thanks to you. I'll appreciate it if you can send me some links that are specific for my 2018 Ford Edge. Thanks, and congratulations on the great work you have done.

[@sylvainrousseau4258]

Félicitations pour votre vidéo Malgré le fait que je sois francophone, votre prononciation, votre language est très compréhensible. Vos explications sont très claires et facilement audibles. Même si je possède mon véhicule Ford depuis 2 ans, votre vidéo m'a permis de mieux comprendre le Sync 3 qui est dans mon véhicule. Très beau travail!

[@penumbranm]

Excellent job Mr. Lopez. You have a knack for explaining things and you have a great radio-announcer's voice. I wish you'd make more videos explaining the gadgets on the F350 Diesel Lariat 2017! (Just bought one) I'm watching you from Redmond, Washington, not too far from Seattle.

Jorge, I have a 2015 C-Max Energi. I would like to upgrade by Sync 2 to a Sync 3. Is this a seamless installation and can my local Ford Dealer accomplish this upgrade. Thanks, Bill

I will use Tomball Ford for my ford service needs because of this video. Well done.

[@Askjorgelopez]

Thank you.

[@garytaton9219]

Gracias Jorge! I really appreciated all that info. In December 2018 I purchased a used 2018 F-150 4X4. It is really great!

[@ohu8one221]

The question I get asked the most is can I run WAZE on my screen, and yes I have seen it on others I work with. Use Apple Car play and plug it in the USB now you can tag the cops and accidents as well as road hazards using your sync touch screen makes it nicer and safer for all of us. Plus it runs full screen and keeps your iPhone charged and out of your hand.

[@Askjorgelopez]

Yes, I approve this message!

[@peterv1806]

This video about sync 3 was very very helpful. I learned some things I didn't know

[@Billschneider42]

Excellent informational video. I just spoke to Jorge as I was interested in upgrading my 2015 Ford C-Max Energi Sync 2 to a Sync 3 system. Thanks goodness Jorge told me that the Sync 3 system is incompatible with my vehicle. Nevertheless Jorge’s video was extremely well done and most informative

[@jaredchampagne2752]

You can install sync 3 into that, I’ve heard of multiple people doing it, you just need to bring it to a dealer to do it properly

[@jimwirth1716]

Nicely done. Just bought a 2021 but found this very useful.

[@billparr2634]

[@michaelryan1103]

Well done, best I've seen yet.

[@carrgetty]

Don't pay for streaming. Put your MP3's on a thumb drive and plug it into one of the usb drives in the console. Sync will add a link in entertainment sources. You can create play lists on your computer and Sync will read them. If it's easier put you music in separate folders. Name the folders and use the browse button to locate them.

[@Askjorgelopez]

Good information. Thanks for sharing!

[@HonorTheTree]

Great video! Well done and informative! I just factory ordered a 2019 Transit with SYNC3 and VAV, and this was REALLY helpful to whet my appetite as to how it all works! Liked and subscribed!

Jorge, My 2017 F250 will not recognize my home wi fi. I was able one time to get it to show me that it picked up on three of them but when I click on the button, they don’t open up. I can get within 30 feet of my modem and router so I know the signal is strong. Any suggestions on how I can connect? Great video! Thanks! Gary

[@gerardjanson5655]

Hi Jorge, Thanks for the video very informative! I have a 2019 mustang eco-boost but when I checked my screen I did not have the Wi-Fi on mine. I have the Snyc 3.3. Is there a reason for that? Does it need to be updated and if so how do you do it. Thanks again Jerry

[@Askjorgelopez]

if you have the 8" display vs the 3" display then you should have wifi in the system. If you do have the larger screen then i would recommend doing a master reset to see if that helps. The reset is under settings. If you have the smaller screen then there is no wifi

[@gerardjanson5655]

@@Askjorgelopez OK I will try doing that. Thank you for answering. Does the master reset mess up anything that you have set up currently? Like your phone numbers different things like that different settings you have already?

Something I really miss from old stereo is the scan button not to prest but to listen to a little bit of each station until I find something I like. I don't think that's possible using this system

I have a 2015 explorer colt with I guess the my touchscreen it was with sync. It didn’t have navigation but looks like it would have the ability. How do I get it upgraded to the navigation and get updates? Mine won’t connect with sync anymore.

[@jomiller7106]

OK, it's me again. Here with my new 2019 Ford Edge Titanium. I believe its the 301A model. I drove the 300 model for about a week and it had a feature where you could "upload" a photo that would show on a portion of the home screen. In another video, I watched where someone explained about a home screen "desktop" or "theme". That's not what I'm referring to. My husband had a 2010 King Ranch and a picture of our dogs would show up randomly when we started the vehicle. The photo was on I think the right side leaving other info on the other side. ************ Can I do this in my new vehicle? *********** Maybe I'm missing some info in the owners manual, but I don't see anything about it. It seems a bit strange that Ford would delete such a fun feature!! Help is appreciated. Thanks.

One of the best in depth sync3 tutorials that I have watched. Question--- Where do I find the factory set Door Keypad Code? I am picking up my 2018 Explorer later today.

[@Askjorgelopez]

Tom Rumish thank for the comment... I appreciate it. Your vehicle should come with a credit card size card which has your door code. Your sales person should also give it to you. Unless you are buying a used one. Is that explorer you are getting a preowned?

[@tomrum42]

I picked up my new Explorer Limited and love it. The sales person did give me the card with the door keypad code. I spent some time yesterday setting up Keyless Entry, the garage door opener on the visor, pairing phone, etc. I pretty much have it set up the way that I want it now. Your video was a great help.

You need both keys to retrieve the original code. You need the original code to change codes. If you don't have both keys you will need to pay your dealer to retrieve the original code.

[@andyandangelamenard6160]

Jorge, great videos man! I was watching some of your stuff before recently purchasing a used 2017 F250 SuperDuty. It of course has Sync3 onboard. Problem is this... I noticed Sync 3 (it was running Sync3 version 2.2 until I just updated it via USB to version 3) with SiriusXM support does not allow tuning channels past 219. I want to tune SXM channels like Yacht Rock Radio (Channel 311) and it will not allow me to tune it. I've been told this was fixed in the newest version of Sync3 code but even after updating my code level, it still has the same problem. Am I missing something and can you please tell me if there is or was a TSB for this and if so, what is the TSB number? Thanks in advance!
