Upgrading your in cabin technology

Can you upgrade an old Ford F-150 to Apple CarPlay?

Ford is making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available on all 2017 vehicles with SYNC 3. If you own a vehicle with SYNC 3 technology, you’ll also be able to update. But what if you have an older model vehicle? Can you still upgrade an old Ford F-150 to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

Owners of vehicles dating back to 2011 with Sync can add Siri Eyes Free support, but currently, there is not an update for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration for owners of older Ford models with Sync technology. While you might not be able to upgrade your current infotainment system, there is hope! Putting a third-party car stereo from brand, like Pioneer or Kenwood, in your vehicle can give you access to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.


How to make SYNC 3 updates with a USB drive


If you’re looking to purchase a new vehicle solely for the switch to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, we’ve got a few options for you that are a lot more affordable!

If you spend a lot of time on the road and you desperately want to integrate an easy-to-use infotainment system in your vehicle, we’d encourage you to talk to our team at Sherwood Ford to get set up with the right system.

Whether you’re looking to add remote access, trailer mounts, fender flares, bedliners, or a vehicle security system, we can help find the right accessory for your needs!
