I have a question regarding my Bluetooth capabilities. I ordered an XLT with the 502 A package, will my Iphone GPS sync with the vehicle screen?

I assume you’re talking about Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, it only connects to your phone with a cable, not wirelessly with Bluetooth.

You can use Bluetooth to stream music, take phone calls, etc... but to mirror your iPhone screen you’ll need to use a cable with Apple CarPlay.

You can connect your iPhone to Sync and use ApplePlay to show your Apple navigation map on the Sync screen.

Would that be the same cord I use to charge the phone?

Some folks have issues if they use a non-Apple cord, so use the cord that came with your phone :thumbsup:

I can't say for certain but the latest version of SYNC should have the application already installed. It would have to be enabled in Settings if I recall correctly from when I upgraded the SYNC 3 in the Escape.

Pat, have you downloaded the owner's manual? There's lots of information in there and I've read over it several times when having questions. @rangerdanger I can't find the link, where are they again for download?

CarPlay is integrated into the Sync 3 system. As long as you have a iPhone 5 or greater it should work.

Is there a way to switch between Apple CarPlay the Sync 3 without unplugging the cord?

CarPlay is an app built into Sync 3. You can charge your phone and not use it.

Edited to correct the original post: Yes. If you are at the main Apple CarPlay screen that shows various apps, just select the Ford Sync icon. If you are in a CarPlay app, press the white circle in the bottom left of your screen to take you to the main CarPlay menu screen.
