aanderson117 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2016 I have a 2017 Explorer, and can't seem to get Glympse to load, I have it loaded on a iPhone 7plus. I the other apps load just fine.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Łukasz Komorzycki 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2017 I think you need to install Glymse Auto along with Glympse itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Spinks 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 And I thought I was missing something! Still - I guess Apple CarPlay and Android Auto replace the need to AppLink. Do they not? Anyone know if Ford will introduce Apple CarPlay without the need for a wired connection? Apparently iPhones now support this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asteele 13 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 My family is punishing the new McDonalds ordering app on my phone that was recently released for us in Australia, its very good. Not sure if this is in the USA or not, but we basically create our own order and then you arrive at drive-thru and give them the pre-order number and its all done... or you walk into the restaurant and the order is prepared and paid for without you having to line up. This is an app that should be developed for Sync 3! Of course I doubt it will ever make it, but its fun to dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTMY911 16 Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Two years of Sync 3 and the list is a joke... The list of command is a joke... The only one for Climate system is "Climate, Temperature XX". If you say "Temperature XX" forget it, apparently the systems is not sure if you are want to change the inside temperature, outside temperature or engine temperature...

wharrell 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Applink just does not work period Ford just does not have the skill sets or investment into Sync 3 to make it work Its a disaster Edited June 30, 2018 by wharrell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuanitoRPM 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 If you dont want to invest money make the system MirrorLink compatible and leave owners to decide what apps want to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael David 5 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Part of the problem is the restrictions that Google imposes when using Android Auto. Sync 3 supports AA and if Google would loosen their restrictions there would be a lot more compatible apps. Other than that it is largely up to the app manufacturers to create apps that are compatible with Sync 3. All Ford can do is publish the specs and try to get app manufacturers to build the appropriate apps. So I have Sygic Car Navigation working on Sync 3 but Sygic does not want to change their GPS Navigation app to work with Sync 3, and neither of their apps work under Android Auto because Google will not allow them to use it. The problem is not all Ford and Sync 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you say "Temperature XX" forget it, apparently the systems is not sure if you are want to change the inside temperature, outside temperature or engine temperature... I've had success in trying "Set temperature to xx" without saying "Climate" first. It takes one voice command out of the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTMY911 16 Report post Posted December 10, 2019 I was more referring to command like "Fan Speed 3" which I was able to do on a 2009 Odyssey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask 35 Report post Posted December 10, 2019 Going from Sync 2 to Sync 3, the commands it can do are FAR better than they used to be, but also FAR from what they could be. AA and Carplay work great, but don't control anything from Sync 3. Maybe with Sync 4 it will get better, because it's going to use a similar 'real voice' technology....

Since I'm waiting for the next generation of the MKX/Nautilus, Sync 4 should be stable by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uu3 0 Report post Posted April 22 (edited) Why can't we write our own apps for sync3? I want to see my google calendar on there. And view my garage camera and control the door over IP. I found a group called FMods that supposedly had a way to sideload apps into sync3, and there's even a couple games! Edited April 22 by uu3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
