Android Auto for 2016 F150 XLT

Has anyone ever been able to get Android Auto to work with their Sync 3 system in the 2016 F150 XLT? I've seen posts about firmware updates that are supposed to make Android Auto work with Sync 3 and have tried updating the firmware once, but it made no difference. Crutchfield says there is no replacement for my OEM radio. Is there any solution that will allow me to display my phone on the radio screen? Thanks.

I have a '16 XLT with sync 3 and it works fine.. I assume you have the app on your phone.. Just plug it in to the front USB and it should work..

Do you have the eight inch screen in your vehicle?

If so, Android Auto should work.

Are you trying to use Android Auto via USB or Bluetooth.

No, you cannot display your phone on the radio screen so you’ll have to use the Android Auto interface which is different from your phone display.
