Sync 3 Hardware Upgrade...Since being down and out with my 2021 Ford Bronco, I've been putting around in my, new-to-me 2015 Ford Fiesta.
In 2016, Ford upgraded the "My Ford Touch" infotainment center to Sync 3, and later versions of Sync 3 have subsequently been upgraded to support Apple Auto and Apple Carplay.
Well, I must of been spoiled with the Sync 4 unit in the Bronco, because I couldn't live without Android auto.
Thankfully, later hardware version of the APIM module in the Fiesta were built with some revisions, but backwards compatible to older versions! Plug'n'play!
And because Ford stopped production of the Fiesta they no longer send out OTA updates.
Fortunately, a program called "Sync 3 Updater" is available for free, allowing you to download the latest firmware and updates for which you can flash to your car using just a USB drive!
Learn how it's done.
Thanks for watching!
