By Product Expert Posted in Ford News, Technology on Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017 at 6:04 pm. If you have a 2016 Ford model that’s equipped with SYNC 3, then you’re in luck because there is a software update available to offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The Wi-Fi update using a home network will be the trickiest because Wi-Fi signals degrade over long distances and depending upon your router, antenna and location of your garage and type of Wi-Fi, you may experience long download times. Before starting the update, you can connect your phone to Wi-Fi or notebook computer to Wi-Fi and see if you have a signal in your garage. We have found in the past, that opening the garage doors may help getting a signal. If your Wi-Fi router is a house or apartment, opening the windows and putting the router near the open window will also make it the signal flow easier. Trees or larg objects can block a home Wi-Fi signal.

Ford reports that it is first software update via Wi-Fi and a automated alternative to existing upgrade methods

We at AUTO Connected Car News suggest that you allow plenty of time for the update. In fact the USB methods takes at least 20 minutes for the car to reboot.

SYNC 3 currently supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on all model-year 2017 Ford cars including the Fiesta, Focus, Fusion and Mustang, SUVs including the Escape, Explorer and Expedition, F-Series trucks and Ford’s electrified vehicles.

Though Ford has been issuing SYNC upgrades since 2009, this is the first time the company is offering an update via Wi-Fi. In Wi-Fi-enabled vehicles with Automatic System Updates turned on within SYNC 3, the system will periodically connect to a customer’s designated Wi-Fi network to check for updates. If an update is available, the system automatically downloads the update in the background over a period of time without any customer interaction. And SYNC 3 is designed to perform the update as long as Wi-Fi is connected prior to the vehicle turning off, therefore there is no need to keep the vehicle running for the update to take place.

• Enable Automatic System Updates through Wi-Fi, then SYNC 3 will download, install and activate available system updates when SYNC is connected to a Wi-Fi network, automatically.
• Go to Settings.
• Automatic System Updates.
• Slide Off Button to On.
• The System when Connected to Wi-Fi will autmatically update SYNC.
• Press View Networks.
• A list of networks, will appear.
• Press the name of the network.
• Press Connect.
• Enter the password required by the network.

I have had this truck for exactly a yr now. I have had this truck in the shop over 6 times for this issue of disconnecting from iPhone and also Apple CarPlay . Ford says it’s Apple and Apple says it’s Ford . Also when backing up when the camera kicks on it also stops Apple CarPlay I’m not really worried about who’s at fault just wanting the problem fixed . I can’t even listen to music in my truck so to this issue . Ford has replaced all the components that would possibly make this happen . So this would bring to a wall in the road lol . Can anyone help ?!?!
