  I concure, I don't think Sync was avalable in 2013 Maybe a 3rd part would be able to assist ... 😎

  Hi Temica Dickerson. Unfortunately, your 2013 Explorer does not have that capability. The ability to use phone apps on the screen was not available until SYNC 3 was introduced several years later. Good luck.

  Sorry yes I have a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT. I am basically wanting to use my Google Maps on my car screen. I have tried the blue tooth route, I plugged my phone into the car usb with no luck yet. I try to sync it but it says not found. It’s too old to have apple car play so I’m not sure what to do, any insight would be great

  Hi Temica Dickerson and welcome to the Ford SYNC Forum. More information may help...such as: - What model/trim level, and model year is your vehicle? - Are you trying to connect using a cable, or connect via Bluetooth? - Which navigation app are you trying to use...etc. etc. - What country do you live in...i.e. the US, Canada etc. Keep us updated and good luck.

  Pull the negative battery cable for ~35 minutes to force a full cold reboot of the modules in the car. After that if it continues and you are on build 3.4.23188 there's a chance that you have a bad digitizer.
