Sync 3 navigation

[getnbzi]

hi my sync 3 does not have navigation are there any updates for that? or does it require a new unit?

Can you back off, zoom out, need to see the whole thing installed. Right now, its not looking like a Ford unit, or its a different kind. Need to figure that out. Also, if you know how to go into settings and pull up the SYNC, about screen, a photo of that will also help. Have you been to owner.ford.com to see if there are any updates? You need to register there, then plug in your vin, the Ford update server finds the file your vehicle needs. Anybody, can anything be done with Forscan to remedy this?

They sold Sync3 with and without navigation. Yours must have been the "without navigation" option. Nav was like a $800 option.

That is definitely Sync3, Non Nav. The Non Nav units have less space, so they are not able to be converted to Nav, without swapping the Unit. The easiest solution is Android Auto, CarPlay, or Waze via Applink. All require a direct wire connection via the USB hub.

Also, if you have a 2016, and want CarPlay you need to swap the hub to the 2017 version number.

Your Sync 3 version also needs to be 2.2 or later. 3.x is the current version. The X determined by what is available for your VIN and Serial number.

ok I had android auto but I didn't like the cable that's why I was asking

It is about $800-1200 net if you exchange your existing Sync 3. There is a guy who sells Sync 3 units salvaged. I had a coworker looking at upgrading his 2017 F-150 that didn’t have Sync 3 and we researched it a couple years ago. Personally that cable is worth a little irritation instead.

I have the navigation option but still use Android Auto with Waze, much better option plus I can use all the Google features for hand free, texts, calls, etc...

I have nav on my 2017 and really am not a fan of it. It doesn't find as many locations as Google maps and the favorites is harder to navigate. I use a wireless vent charger and just use my phone for navigation. I sushi didn't like losing the climate control info when using android auto.

I don't like losing any of the standard info when using Android Auto.
