    Exactly, this video is really unhelpful. I can connect with the cable but it will not connect without plugging in. This system is not as good as my old Ford Fiesta. That had a CD player, used for memory stick for other music as well as radio. Now I have an android screen that I can't do anything with. Some upgrade!.

One of the golden rules was to de-bug before you released anything. Android will be great one day but it's not ready yet.

    Depending on the year it will have to be connected via USB to get android auto to show up on screen. Mine is 2017 only works while plugged in. I think the 19 and up can use Bluetooth for android auto or Apple car play.

What should I do ? The car only connects to phone by bluetooth. I tried stopping the bluetooth, tried different cable, tried restarting the phone and stopping the car, wait 5 minutes turn car engine on again, plug again the cable in the car then on phone and the phone is charging but no android auto showing on car screen. What should I do ?

I did not ask what it was or have them show me because I dont really care anymore since it works. lol. But I think there might be some setting that has to switch from apple to android? I don't know.

    Fr. Jack Kearney Sync 3 will work wirelessly with android auto, as long as you have a android device that is compatible with it, some older android models don't work wirelessly but still work when plugged in. And as long as the 2019 Transit connect has Sync 3, which is the larger 8 inch screen, it would have the same functionality, any Ford vehicle with Sync 3 has the capability.
