There is a new setting under settings, mobile apps to enable apps via usb. Also waze will still habe to go thru the phone as it need the cell service to update traffic etc.

 

Thanks! I might have to upgrade for that feature alone.

 

I am trying to get onto the official release so that I am no longer on the unofficial 3.0 update. I have some slowness with it that occurs when changing volume/temp and some minor bugs I hope would be fixed.

 

Also Alexa shows under applink if you have the app installed.

 

 

Interesting! I have the Alexa app on my iPhone and have it all tied into my smart-house, behind firewalls. Any idea what SYNC does with the Alexa app or how it all integrates?

 

Alexa: Engage passenger ejector seat!

I have Alexa (echo) at home and I use it more than Google Home. It blew my mom away that I could call her using my Alexa.

 

i have noticed since the update, my remote start through Remote Access does not work. Any ideas?

 

I updated to version 3.0 Tuesday afternoon. Since then I have had a few annoying glitches. When I turned by truck off this morning at work, it was connected to the internet and a very short popup at the top of the screen said downloading software update??? Is there already an update to syn 3 version 3.0? Has anyone else seen this? I did my original update via USB.

 

yeah, thats what we were all hoping was happening with this update.

 

hmm..i'll have to go look again. I did not see Alexa listed in my apps and i clicked update trying to get waze to show.

 

 

look for Alexa-ford app in your app store. It can do anything the regular alexa does including turning o your light at home. Or off if you want to mess with someone not sure if its android only though. And on some cars, unfortunately not our truck, it can start your car just by telling it.

 

Mine has been fine, no issues as of yet.

 

I just updated mine, and noticed two differences from the last update:

1. Heated Steering Wheel icon on home screen (can scratch that off my Forescan 'to-do' list)
2. The update automatically confirmed with Ford; last time I had to upload an xml file back to synchmyride to confirm.
   1. I guess the wifi connection to my house sent the file after the update completed.

I monitor synch's performance and report any odd behavior.
