yep everything updated to the v2.0. that update got the sync 3 to recognize my text messages but i cant get the iphone interface to load up or my maps or apps to load up. however i am using the lifeproof case for the iphone so i was thinking maybe i need to use the regular iphone plug and not the lifeproof which is a driod charger. i do have the non nav sync 3, so im not sure if that will show my maps app from my phone on not, but from seeing all the youtube videos i was thinking it would. thats all i really need is maps shown on my screen.
As long as that Lifeproof case transmits data, which it does if text messages work, that it uses microusb (like android phones) to charge won't matter. Easy test is to plug into your computer and see if itunes detects it while in the case. I know Mophie cases are fine for this so there's no reason it shouldn't work with a Lifeproof.
Also, suddenly now you have nav! You'll be able to use apple maps once you have carplay working. I've never had a car with nav so this is such a great experience. It's like pretty smart about stuff too, you'll see your phone letting you know where you left your car parked, automatically offering you directions to where it thinks you might want to go --like if you went somewhere it'll give you directions home.
damn, ok saw some post about it but didnt pay it any mind about the usb ports. so i guess ima order it and see what happens. its crazy, that it take this much work to make carplay work lol. is there any good site to order it from or am i better off going to ford, for the parts?
Most of us have been ordering from tascaparts (forum vendor, a ford dealership in rhode island) but if you like your local dealership that would probably work too. There are a couple part numbers mentioned early in this thread, but I'd recommend the Lincoln part since it seems to be much easier to find. GJ7Z-19A387-B is it. the ports light up white instead of "ice blue" or whatever the ford interior lighting color is called.
