Android Auto with Sync 3?

I have an XL F250 on order but did upgrade to Sync 3. I don't believe it will have navigation but not sure. But I am seeing that it works with Android Auto, is that correct? Has anyone tried it? Does it work well? Don't mind using it on my phone but if it can show on the built in screen that would be a plus.

It does show up on the built in screen and works great. Just upgrading to Sync3 won't get Ford navigation, thats another $500 option, but you'll be just as happy if nor more so with Google Maps. Turn by turn audio directions come over the radio speakers and Google voice works with the trucks microphone. I think you'll be happy.

Android auto and apple carplay both included in sync3, but phone has to be connected with the usb cable. Next Gen sync4 gets wireless connectivity.
And, nav is not an option on XL trim.

Great, was hoping it would work. I didn't want built in nav as I would never use it.

Yeah, Sync 3 supports Android Auto and it works very well.
