Ford Explorer XLT 2016
Hello,
I just purchased 2016 Explorer XLT. I'm trying to figure out a few things my first mission is can I make my SUV have Apple Play/Adriod Play? This is what I think I have Sync2 version 3.8 It does have navigation A7 MAPS *SD CARD So what will it take to get Apple Play added on without breaking the common integrated functions of the SUV. I have read so many things e.g All I need to do is upgrade the USB and a lot of the data out there only indicates to upgrade to NAV version or to people who have a really base model.

The only way to add Apple/Android Play, I believe, would be to upgrade to Sync 3, which requires a complete head unit change, along with some programming. It's not cheap.

I believe the latest version is 3.10. MFT Update V3.10

But this still won't allow the integration he is looking for with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
I was just pointing out that he did not have the latest software version. I don't know what is required for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto since I don't use those features.

Thanks guys after going to that URL and searching and reading i just updated to version 3.10 without issues well not really just remember the USB device needs to be formatted to FAT32
