    Thank you so much for creating this video. I didn't even know my 2017 Ford Fusion had this feature. I bought it about a month ago and now I will enjoy the car even more. I have Napster and now I can jump back and forth within a track by just sliding the progress bar on the Sync screen rather than having to do it on my phone. Google maps is awesome, too. I like my Sync navigation system, but having another option is awesome. Thanks!

I have used both before over Bluetooth as I didn't have my sync updated to 2.2 and Android Auto wasn't working. I never bought the navigation system as I just used Google Maps on my phone. I am looking forward to using the whole screen. thanks for the video, everything was explained including making sure phone was connected via usb

They can be added, but as you noted it is very expensive. This kills 2 birds with one stone! I can use/control my Waze traffic/navigation app and listen to Sirius/XM with ease.

    Love Android Auto on Sync 3, however i'm currently having an issue with it - hoping someone might be able to help? Basically, Android Auto keeps disconnecting when i'm driving, which is becoming quite frustrating! It connects and functions properly while the car is stationary, but as soon as i pull away above 5 mph, Android Auto disconnects. I connect my phone using the manufacturer supplied USB. Wondering if there's a setting i'm missing or something? Thanks!

    Great video, really helpful. We've just got a car with Sync 3 so have downloaded Android Auto (AA) and we are impressed so far. However we do have a query about what happens when the phone loses signal (frequently in rural Scotland). When phone/Google maps loses the cellular connection, AA just disconnects even though we have downloaded Google maps area to use offline. Just reverts to the Sync 3 homepage. We thought it should just seamlessly shift to the offline map then switch back when phone signal picked up again but we have to disconnect cable and plug in phone again when signal resumes to get maps And navigation back. Are we doing something wrong?

    The Ford Sync3 shouldn't drop the Android Auto interface if you have lost internet connection. I constantly use AA in Australia with toll tunnels in Brisbane where data & GPS is lost when very deep under the city. AA doesn't have an issue & estimates the cars location based on speed etc which is pretty accurate. Sounds like macelven has a Sync3 / AA bug. Maybe it's the phone? I use a Nexus 6p...

    Update. Apparently Ford uses low quality very thin low gauge wiring in these circuits. My cord was 6' long. When I switched to a 2' cord it worked fine. Ford's wiring cant handle the signal drop of 4' of wire. The signal is too weak to even use the short cord to connect through the hub inside the console.

    Guess I don't see what all the excitement is about with AA. If you don't have the NAV version of Sync 3 I guess it would have value. My number one issue with this is it completely takes over your phone. At least with mine, the screen locks on the AA page and becomes non-functional. Also, the reverse is true in that AA seams to over ride all of the Sync functions. You have to exit the app to use any other function. As for saving money. I guess it's a matter of how you want to pay. To up my phone plan to unlimited, requires another $60 as I use very little data on my phone. The $800 dollars mentioned is only to have the unit upgraded by a dealer. The option price in a new vehicle is no where near that. Then and finally, I am one who feels Google knows enough about what, where and when I'm doing things as it is. While browsing my Google page I noticed that just about every mile I had driven, every stop, how long has been recorded and available to view. Off with the location service right then and there. If I need it, I'll turn it on. Not that I fear the heavy hand of government but it's just non of their business. The less I use Google, the better I like it.
