I love how this new Sync 3 system works. I love the Ford pass feature.

[@BrianJilgMusic]

Nice and helpful video but the background music is too loud.

[@theapocilip]

So glad you went through the sxm radio in detail. Am very glad to see the replay feature is there

[@dillimar]

You can only remote start/stop, lock/unlock etc if you've purchased a smartlink module from a dealer and set up an account. Last I looked it was a $15 per month service.

[@jayroc1502]

Has anyone called your mom to complain about the music in this video? Dude, you put her number on the internet!!! That's crazy!

[@briankneebone9543]

Really great overview, thank you! I'm thinking about doing an unsupported upgrade from Sync 2 to Sync 3 (some different after market options available) for my 2011 Ford Edge LTD. I know I won't get the ford pass stuff, but the other features look compelling. I might take the risk and leap. But your video helped me understand, if I did, what I might get if all works out. My only remaining question/issue is what about devices with the climate controls and how those are managed via this system (specifically seat warmers, no dedicated buttons for those on my Edge, you have to use the infotainment system). Nicely done, thanks for the time putting this together!

[@kawibby]

Why do you have the background music?

[@matthewhunter6421]

Did he say 3 different squadrents?

[@Robert8455]

Excellent overview. I bought a used '17 F150 and the system seems to have some history of sync'd phones (shows the phone names). Is there an easy way to delete those?

[@davenelson2901]

best video ever just bought 2017 explorer and systems are exact thanks man

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks congrats on the new whip

[@michel0730]

I loved watching this but I am having problems with mine resetting on its own. My time will go back an hour, all my navigation sets delete and my bluetooth phones disappears. Since purchasing this vehicle I have done a master reset and updated software using WiFi and I still have problems afterwards. Any ideas on what I should do? Would Ford dealership know how to fix? Thanks for any suggestions.

[@carsunlocked]

yes certainly is malfunctioning some where I would bring it to the ford deal

[@AmmarBm1]

How do you setup your home option, like how do you choose the 3 things you want?

[@spartan343x2]

Not entirely sure my 2017 Ford Escape has navigation or if my setup hasnt been updated

[@carsunlocked]

could have been updated but it should

[@xxGoodfella]

I cant get ford pass to work with the my 2016 ford fiesta st.:(

[@subvet3668]

Why is the image curved ? Is that your cameras effect ?

[@Skybar23]

can it use google maps on this system?. I rely heavily on google maps on my phone because it gives me live updates on traffic conditions and taking live alternative routes. Ive found car navigation systems lagging in live traffic updates

[@Rosh_Travels]

In my 2015 fiesta I was able to send vehicle health reports to my owner account. Now I have a 2017 focus... has that option gone away with sync 3? I have to have a "connect" vehicle only?

[@abbasyaqoub9933]

Thank you so much for this beautiful and helpful video

How can I set a destination on Navigation by entering map coordinates (latitude and longitude)?

How do you add ford pass to a 2017 or 2016 mustang?

[@freethinker4048]

My edge has an issue that will stop playing music the first few minutes I’m in the car. I plugged in my phone because I like to have a full battery and I can’t play my Sirius. I will hit a station and it will play two seconds then go back to the source screen. It won’t play music so I have to keep hitting the Sirius button. I disconnected my Bluetooth from the car that helped a day then it came back. My other issue is that my voice command doesn’t always stop the music when I try to use it so it can’t hear me.

[@mvpbuilds]

Dude! Only 2:15 in. Thanks and everything but geeeeeez man the music playing in the background?!!!!!! Resubmitt

[@ChuckRowe]

No HD Radio? :( Can I plug in a thumb drive with MP3 files and have it play through the system?

[@carsunlocked]

Yes you can I mentioned it briefly in the video

Sorry missed that. Great video. I just bought a 2018 Edge with Sync 3. Love it!!

It's a new 2017 bought yesterday it was not there yesterday when I linked up my phone to my car and wA's and I also don't have text open when receiving a text please help thanks

[@Kara315]

Does the navigation have any other views of the routes? Like some systems show you the different lanes on the highways and which one to take.

[@carsunlocked]

yes you can use the pinch to zoom for a more detailed view of your car on the highway

[@bobmills4252]

Was this in a 2016 car or a 2017 car? I am looking at an explorer and trying to see the difference between 2016 and 2017.

[@carsunlocked]

I filmed this in a 2017 Ford Escape. There is no difference between the SYNC 3 in the 16 and 17 escapes, however you can only use the Ford Pass app with the 2017s. In the Ford Explorer 2017 models you can use the SYNC 3 and voice commands to control the climate settings as well.

[@travissmith712]

There is a difference. 16 have sync 3. 17 have sync 3 AND Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Ford says there will be an update for 16's to add it to their sync 3. I'm looking forward to it because you wouldn't need to buy navigation, since you could you Google maps through Android Auto.

[@Kara315]

Is the google maps not compatible with the sync 3? incase you don't get the navigation.

[@carsunlocked]

check out my other video how to connect to the android auto and you can use your google maps on your phone

[@hab7830]

Just got a new 2017 explorer with sync 3. I can connect my galaxy s7 edge just fine but when I get a call or make a call I cannot hear the person I called thru the car speakers. I've called Ford and verizon and still couldn't figure it out. My brothers phone and my husbands phone both work fine. So, maybe it's something with my phone. I don't know. Any suggestions? I've made sure that it's connected properly and that my phone bluetooth setting is set up for audio calls.

[@carsunlocked]

seems like something is wrong with the bluetooth connection of the phone... try connecting it a different car and if it does the same thing then something is wrong with your phone

[@yucatica]

what is the difference between sync and sync 3? I'm currently looking at purchasing a vehicle and some window stickers say "AM/FM STEREO SGL-CD W/SYNC" while others say "SYNC 3 WITH NAVIGATION".

[@carsunlocked]

The ones that say SYNC will not come with the navigation feature that I explained iin the video

[@CobraT.]

Buy a gm, they have had this technology for their customers since 2010 and it's way more advanced, I love ford vehicles but they nickel and dime on these things

[@newtekbuzz]

Can you run the Waze app thru sync 3? Would love to see a quick vid on this

[@iR3V3NJARZ]

You cannot at the moment.

[@completelymustang]

I can through android auto, google maps and waze are usable.

[@jimamizzi1]

How do you increase navigation volume?

[@charliemotters4835]

How do you turn off traffic announcements on this?

[@VincentD20]

So which is the better touchscreen , the Myford touch or this one

[@carsunlocked]

Sync three is definitely better

[@TheFordDealer]

SYNC 3 works amazing well compared to competitors. We have a lot of how-to tutorial videos on our channel as well regarding SYNC and other issues.

[@jeffscottwright]

I just bought a 2016 F-150 FX4 Lariat last Friday. 2 issues with my Sync 3...#1, The navigation still thinks and reads it's in Dearborn Michigan. I am in Southern Illinois. Even the "Where am I" button will not show my current location. Tried to reset but nothing The technicians say they have checked everything but don't know how to fix it. #2, my sirius radio does not work either. Everything else with Sync 3 seems to work fine. Any thoughts?

[@carsunlocked]

+JeffWright sounds to me like the dealer might have left the vehicle in transit mode. It deactivates most of the electronics but regular functions work fine.

[@jeffscottwright]

I just got off the phone with Ford Customer Relations....they say that Transit Mode deactivates automatically after 50 miles....is this true?

[@carsunlocked]

Jeff Wright that is a good question my mechanics deactivate the transit mode once the trucks arrive so I have never tested that theory. Let me know how you make out

When I first plug my iPhone in, I do not see CarPlay on the iPhone, nor do I see the screen you showed in the video. SYNC 3 does detect the phone and it does show me only two apps; Ford Pass and Dominos. But, I try to refresh and no other apps ever show up!

[@carsunlocked]

ffmedic1638 let's do some trouble shooting.... first thing I would do is make sure you have the latest Sync 3 software. the older versions do not allow the apple car play. do you know how to connect to wifi and update the software ?

[@ffmedic1638]

Version 2.0. I am connected to WIFI (actually not at this minute) and I have the AUTO-Updates set to ON. I did do a push to check for latset updates..everything OK.

[@carsunlocked]

hmmmm everything seems ok with the software then.... what phone are you using???

iPhone 6

[@carsunlocked]

I have only setup the android phones but all my customers say it is the same routine. Plug your phone in and it should appear in either the mobile apps section or second page of the settings menu

[@RonRivet]

Hey Christopher, can I download my songs from my Macbook laptop?

[@carsunlocked]

Ron Rivet you cannot save it to the sync 3. You would have to play it on your MacBook using the aux cord, Bluetooth or transfer to your phone. You can also save all your songs to a thumb drive and plug it in

[@RonRivet]

Ok Thanks! Thumb drive it is!

[@TheSun_89]

What a weird question.

So is this with the phone plugged in? was just told by the dealership that the f150s '17 '18 don't have build in nav but I see the nav option there?

[@bztrain]

They most certainly do. If you have navigation as an option.

[@lebotube64]

Thank you for this excellent video 👍

[@bigor6497]

Unfortunately, you can really only listen to 6 stations while driving because the option to press the preset button to go to the next 6 stations is so small, that you have to hit it right on. Impossible when driving. You can wreck. So have your favorite 6 only while driving.

[@carsunlocked]

I would agree but you can hit the source button to skip to your next six

[@bigor6497]

The trouble with using Apple Car Play, when you plug in, it takes over the gorgeous screen. It also takes away the Nav, and replaces it with IPhone Nav. Not a good option for those that value the Sync 3 features.

I prefer letting my phone display google maps that is going on my phone over the screen rather than the NAV.

Ford Pass is a joke with the model trucks below the top tier XLT without the embedded modem. None of the features described are available but it can connect you with your dealership service department to schedule maintenance through your phone. and when the app is running from your phone tell you how much gas you had when you were last in your car/truck. You can't start/stop lock/unlock remotely from your phone even if you install the Ford Factory Alarm with remote start.
