What Owners Say
"Sync 3 updates via WiFi do not work. The other option is the do USB Sync 3 updates. However, I get a consistent memory error when installing the update so cannot complete the update. Ford Sync tech support personnel have no clue how to fix it despite it being a major issue discussed on the F150 Forum. There is a solution, but Ford does not seem to be concerned."
Wanda M., FL (2016 Ford F-150 XLT 2.7-L V6 turbo)"Dealer was unfamiliar with how to upgrade the sync3 to allow car play. Took 2 visits to get it to work"
Anonymous, MD (2016 Ford F-150 XLT 3.5-L V6 turbo)"The exterior mirrors contain cameras which show the area on either side of the truck on the center screen. The left camera would fail intermittently and I took a picture of the screen when it had failed and gave a copy of it to my Ford service advisor. Based on the photo they replaced the camera under warranty. Note that the camera was working when I took it in for service but because I had "proof" that it was failing, they performed the work under warranty."

But currently the Sync3 system works fine at startup and Bluetooth connects to phone, but within 15 minutes to 45 minutes of driving the GPS fails completely, voice prompts and commands become very very slow and stuttered. Trying to change anything via the touchscreen becomes a dangerous exercise in frustration because of the extremely slow response and more time with eyes off the road. Also I've noticed that the phone gets very warm when the system fails. I don't understand that part but I'd say it could be quite dangerous if phone wasn't in shirt pocket to manually disable the attempts to connect to the Sync3 system."
