Do you mean mp3's you have loaded on your phone from other sources? If so i don't think you can on the mobile version, i know the desktop spotify app does allow you to play "private" music from other sources. Good news is that google play music will allow you to play whatever you have as long as you upload it to their service. Not perfect but it does make it avaiable everywhere and you can download it to the device over WIFI so you don't eat up all of your data.

With the SYNC 3 system, "certain" apps are designed to be integrated into the SYNC 3 system so they can be "controlled" by the SYNC system either from the buttons on the steering wheel or the buttons on the dash whereas other apps that you like can still be used but only through bluetooth or USB and you`ll have to use your actual phone to control those apps.
On your phone, go to the Google Play store and look for the Ford App Catalog app and download it to your phone.
It`s free so don`t worry about that.
After you download it, you`ll be able to see all of the apps that are available to be controlled via the SYNC 3 system in your truck.
You can also go to the Ford Owner website and see all of the apps that are available.
I hope this explains the integration for you.
Have a great day.

Ok. Things are working. Thanks for all the help. A question regarding music playback via AA. I recently switched to a larger SD Card for the music. Before music played perfectly. After I installed the new SD Card and loaded it up with my music I noticed periodic skips in playback. I doubt it has anything to do with Android Auto, but while researching the issue with my phone I see I need to know how the music is being conveyed from my phone to the Sync 3 system. Bluetooth is running AND I am connected via USB cable. How is the music getting from phone to the Sync 3?

Type in Ford App Catalog in the Play Store or Chrome.
The picture on the app will be a blue steering wheel with a blue background, Ford in the center of the steering wheel and at the bottom of the steering wheel it`ll say APP CATALOG.

Hmm, that`s very strange because at this very moment, i`m in the Google Play store on my iMac looking at the app that I mentioned.
