I've had my 2016 Fiesta for a year before I ever thought about updating it. And now you're telling me I can get CarPlay too?! Take my money Amazon! Thank you so much for this video
This works great. I was able to get the part out of the console just using my fingernails. Tip: Once that this is out, unplug the other than that is on it and it will come out farther making it easier to get the plugs off the USB module. That other cable is a lot shorter than the ones which go to the USB module.
Hey! So if you go with the 2 USB ports , the front USB port in the car won’t work? Will it affect the Apple car play or is it that you just can’t use that USB port for anything ??? :)
Roman, I’m a first time Ford owner and completely new to Sync system (2016 Mustang GT). Your video was simple to follow for update and also for the usb replace. Thanks a lot for the great tutorials! Just waiting on the new usb hub now.
I have 2016 Escape Titanium pkg. trying to update my Sync 3 to newest version. I switched out USB port to the new one for Apple Play. I still have version 1. I downloaded new version to flash drive but is not updating new version. Should I have left old USB port in?
I have a 2016 Ford F-150. I'd accepted that I didn't have Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay) on this unit. Then I watched your video, spent about an hour downloading Sync3 V3 and installing it, and ordered a new USB port (thanks Amazon overnight ;) ) The new USB port arrived today, and five minutes later I was plugging in my Android phone and about jumped through the roof when it popped up with the "Android Auto" screens! I feel like I just got a new truck! Thanks!
@@khalfanalharthy7508 The process should be the same for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Upgrade your Sync3 software to Version 3, and upgrade the USB hub.
I had apple car play in my Ford Fusion 2018. It was SYNC3, after updated this to Sync 3 v 3.0 my apple carplay doesnt work. Any ideas??? The same cord and phone
So does the upgraded USB port also supports Android Auto? I have a 2016 Focus Titanium (SYNC 3.0) but the option for Android Auto doesn't appear under apps.
Hey man I installed the new usb port and followed your instructions and updated with the usb stick from your other video and it says update is complete but I still don’t have CarPlay and it doesn’t look like anything changed? Any ideas? What firmware should by car be at? Thanks
It worked great Then original part number has been superseded to HU5Z-19A387C rather than ending in "A". Hardest part for me was removing the the hub from the larger plastic piece. Holding down the locking clips was tricky. Reinstallation took about 1 minute.
I have a 2016 Mustang gt. When I bought it, it had sync 3 version 1.0. I used the usb method to update it and it took 2 tries. It took between 1-2 hours for me and you have to leave the usb in when it’s done, turn the car off, open the door, turn the car back on, then it’s updated and you can remove the usb. After doing this, I followed the instructions in the video and installed the usb. It now works perfectly. Thank you for the video!
If I already have that usb hub in the center console but apple car play doesn’t work but I get messages and all that, do I still need to buy that usb hub anyways
My 2016 mustangs voice command button stopped working. When I press it a message pops up on the top part of my screen basically saying it was unsuccessful. Has this happened to you? I have sync 3
So I just updated mine using this method (version 1.0 to 3.0). I bought the usb port but didn’t install it. I used the stock port, downloaded the software on a usb and followed through with all the steps. However… it took me 2 hours.. two fucken hours lmao! Idling. I was at “3 miles to E” and I was shitting bricks and as soon as I was putting my seatbelt on to drive off to get gas and say screw it, the update completed lol so have at least half a tank lol
Hi. Regarding the dual USB hub everywhere I check it says it will not fit the mustang which is what I have a 2016. Do you know if that’s true? The connections and hub size look the same.
Thanks for the great info. Just upgraded 2016 Fusion Hybrid/Energi to: SYNC Generation SYNC 2 SYNC Version 3.10 Is there a way of getting apple car play still? Thanks, Joe
I have the automatic California special 2016 mustang GT and trust me you do not want that piece of crap made in China getrag MT 82 piece of crap manual transmission. There are nothing but problems with those manual transmissions you should be happy to have the automatic because I’ve driven both and I prefer the six speed over the manual any day
@@sylvesterstallone8637 my 2014 was a mt-82 and I didn’t have problems with it I enjoy driving a manual but when I was in the market for a s550 I couldn’t find one and settled for a auto
@@MaxedOutPlayet I had a 2011 mustang GT with the MT 82 and all the thing did was whine like crazy and the clutch pedal would stick to the floor, every other American manufacturer puts the TR 6060 whether you have a challenger or a Camaro in their vehicles Ford is just getting cheap when it comes to their manual transmissions but that is a Chinese made transmission and it’s a piece of garbage and now the shift forks are breaking and the brand new mustangs and there is a lawsuit going on with Ford with those transmissions. There was a lady who had her shift forks replaced six times and then they bought the vehicle back because the transmission is a piece of crap. Now if they stuck to TR 6060 in the mustang that would be better but there is no way I would ever buy a Mustang with that MT 82 transmission ever again and I have driven both And for some reason the six speed just feels faster off the line
I have a 2016 Ford Mustang and got the Sync 3 version 3.0 updated but the usb port hub won't work. Which one did you buy to replace it to get Apple Car play to work? WE did this last year, gave up and trying again this year.
@@28shubhamarora Check the pins on the back of the APIM unit. Apparently pin 8 is what powers the USB ports. That pin was bent off when I received it and ended up needing a replacement unit sent to me from the seller. Spent hours troubleshooting and after getting the replacement had it working in less than 10 minutes.
No, the original USB port works with android auto once you updated to Sync 3.0 and above. Android auto will show on your Sync 3 screen but carplay is not supported. Other then not having carplay The other issue you will get once in awhile at startup is, you will get a popup screen saying USB port is not compatible. But easily cleared when 'OK' button pressed.
My Explorer 2016 is with Sync 2(Sync myford touch), is anyway to update it to Sync 3 with limited cost? it looks like no way to use Apple Carplay if this issue could not be solved
I don't understand why ppl buy these very expensive USB port when there's plenty of OEM used USB ports on Ebay for half the price. Just make sure to update your Sync to 3.4 and on Ebay, find your make and model BUT find the one when the Year they came out with carplay feature.
It tells me that the usb is not supported/: why isn’t it working for me ? I’ve tried two usb hubs from ford and Amazon and neither work. And yes I have sync 3.0
Good video. I actually ordered a genuine Ford part directly from Ford, as it was cheaper. Followed these instructions to install the hub, it works great.
Hey man so Ive been having issues with my apple car play as of recent. It works a majority of the time but sometimes i plug my phone into my car and it just doesn’t recognize it and the car doesn’t pick up car play. Even after turning the car and my phone off and on it wont pick it up. Any solutions or info?
Roman’s Garage preciate it ive been told that but I know that the phone is getting “connected” per se because I see it charging when the car is on, but like I said the car wont recognize the device at all. It doesn’t happen often but is super annoying when it does. Do you think it could be something to do with shorting the usb device connector when this does happen?
Roman’s Garage Well I got the one off of your description and I tried different cords. Even master resetted the entire system and sometimes it gives me “hub not supported”
@@darkstabber9937 Did you manage to get it to work in your 2016 mustang? I'm in the process of possibly getting into the 16 gt premium and was looking into how to do this. I've seen where several people have mentioned the 16 mustang having problems with the hub being supported.
@@darkstabber9937 Thanks for the update! I'm probably backing out of the 16 gt premium I was looking at anyway due to it's AC not working (dealership says they'll fix it, I just find it sketchy).

I have a question....I did the the update for sync 3 but still shows version 1....did everything....don’t know about getting usb dual port for my 2016 Ford Escape titanium ?....yours was single mine is two (dual USB ports) please help . Can I still install with version 1 for sync 3?.... or should I go to dealer for update ?....$$$
I bought the double USB port using your link but it doesn’t have the 2 mini USB connectors where the gray and the black cables plug into. It only has one mini usb connector for the black plug. Any idea how I can make the gray plug connect?
I’ve actually been trying to download the files from Ford with my computer for days now but their files are corrupt. Waiting to hear back from them on that. Meanwhile, I received my double USB port but with only one mini USB plug on the back not to like my original single USB hub which had one mini connector on the back for each plug.
Henry Nheoun correct me if I’m wrong but there’s a usb and sd slot near the sync system. But inside the arm rest there’s just one usb slot. Can’t we replace it with that one?
I've had my 2016 Fiesta for a year before I ever thought about updating it. And now you're telling me I can get CarPlay too?! Take my money Amazon! Thank you so much for this video
Thanks Roman, I got Apple CarPlay set up on my 2016 Mustang EcoBoost Premium convertible. I love it!

How come a Ford fusion 2016 hybrid doesn’t have sync 3:(
Excellent video! Clear, concise and 100% accurate - great explanation. I did this and magically I now have Apple Carplay! Highly recommend.

I have a 2016 Ford Fusion and I’m curious as
To why u had to sway out USB ports? They look identical
Likely more than just a port. I'm betting there is firmware in the package that loads up the Carplay software.
If I change the usb thing in my focus sync 2 I believe will it work ?
OMG! Thank you so much! So simple to switch out the USB ports. Literally took less than 5 min! And now I have apple CarPlay in my 2016 Ford Escape!!!

Can I install this in my 2015 Ford Fusion?
Hi Roman, I am having some issues with downloading sync 3 I wondered if you could help me please?
Both of the adapters are out of stock. does anyone know if there is an updated one that is available? 2016 Ford f-150
Can you only use it when it’s plugged into that port? I tend to use the other one and what about when it’s not plugged in at all?
Veronica Hynson
Yes only that port. It’s the same thing with the newer fords that come with CarPlay.
My 2016 Ford Edge has front USB’s only. So will this not work or will it work with single usb upgrade?
