avalonf150 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Judging from the overwhelming response you got on this thread, I'd have to say bleak... lol JuanitoRPM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aanderson117 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Łukasz Komorzycki Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think you need to install Glymse Auto along with Glympse itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Spinks Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteele Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanitoRPM Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Two years of Sync 3 and the list is a joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTMY911 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share 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 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanitoRPM Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael David Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTMY911 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I was more referring to command like "Fan Speed 3" which I was able to do on a 2009 Odyssey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share 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....

uu3 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 (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!
