Sync 3 - Android Play

I can confirm Android Play works with Sync 3, you have to go to Settings Icon, Android Auto Preference - Enable (Icon turns Blue)

You have to install the Android CarPlay app on your phone. I plugged my phone in your USB connector and but not 100% sure you need it, will verify but with USB bamn you are good to go!

There are several "agree" screens on both truck and phone but once all of them are selected you are good to go!

Apps that work https://play.google.com/store/apps/c...droid_auto_all

Click Voice and you are on Google

I am having fun with Android, say text wife, "on my way home" and it repeats and sends the message. Ask it for a gas station and it tells you stations and cost, will tell you your schedule, weather for the next day, and so many other things really nice.

Maybe it takes awhile for that data to come in. Mine just had really basic info like 3 year/ 36,000 warranty and asks if I want to schedule service or contact roadside assistance.
