How to use SYNC 3 Apple CarPlay

Apple CarPlay gives you the ability to utilize certain features on your phone through your Ford’s SYNC 3 system. Not only does it improve convenience, but it also makes the trip more enjoyable for everyone. If you’re wondering how to use SYNC 3 Apple CarPlay in your Ford, here’s what you need to know.

1. Connect your iPhone to SYNC 3 via Bluetooth

In order to take advantage of everything Apple CarPlay has to offer, you’ll need to connect your compatible iPhone to your Ford’s SYNC 3 system via Bluetooth. Instructions to do so can be found in your vehicle owner’s manual or on Ford’s website.

2. Features available with Apple CarPlay

With Apple CarPlay, you are able to access and control your iPhone using your Ford’s SYNC 3 display screen and voice commands. Capabilities include making and receiving phone calls, listening and replying to text messages, streaming music and podcasts, getting turn-by-turn directions with traffic conditions, and more. That being said, certain SYNC 3 features are unavailable while using Apple CarPlay. The feature may utilize your phone’s data for certain tasks, such as getting driving directions and streaming music online.

3. Using Siri Eyes Free with SYNC 3

If you choose to disable Apple CarPlay from your Ford’s SYNC 3 system, you will still be able to use Siri Eyes Free through a connected iPhone. You can use Siri to do a number of things, including sending and receiving text messages and emails, without taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.

We hope this helps you get started with using Apple CarPlay on SYNC 3. If you have any questions, you can refer to your owner’s manual for more detailed information. Also, feel free to reach out to our team at Sherwood Ford or get in touch with your local Ford dealer.
