Upgrading your in cabin technology

Can you upgrade an old Ford F-150 to Apple CarPlay?

Ford is making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available on all 2017 vehicles with SYNC 3. If you own a vehicle with SYNC 3 technology, you’ll also be able to update. But what if you have an older model vehicle? Can you still upgrade an old Ford F-150 to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

Owners of vehicles dating back to 2011 with Sync can add Siri Eyes Free support, but currently, there is not an update for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration for owners of older Ford models with Sync technology. While you might not be able to upgrade your current infotainment system, there is hope! Putting a third-party car stereo from brand, like Pioneer or Kenwood, in your vehicle can give you access to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
