Yesterday, Ford Motor Company issued a press release announcing that it is expanding its SYNC 3 Connectivity platform. The initiative brings support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to its entire 2017 vehicle lineup of cars, SUVs, light trucks, and electrified vehicles.
“SYNC 3 is already a major leap forward in terms of functionality, simplicity, and user experience – Ford’s promise that every new model now ships ‘Smartphone-ready’ is huge,” said Jeffrey Hannah, Director of North America for global automotive technology research firm SBD. “Ford is not taking the traditional approach of introducing Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto on a few piecemeal models or as an expensive option on luxury vehicles only. The guesswork for consumers is over – if you buy any 2017 Ford vehicle with SYNC 3, you drive off the lot with both of these innovative technologies ready to go.”
Escape, Fusion, Mustang, and Explorer are already available as 2017 model-year vehicles, and the rest of the lineup will begin arriving later in the year.
