- New, enhanced Ford SYNC® AppLink™ 3.0 allows projection of moving graphics – such as maps from smartphones – onto in-vehicle touch screens
- Ford accelerates smartphone app integration innovation by actively contributing to SmartDeviceLink open-source project
- Ford, in collaboration with Alibaba Group, integrates smartphone-based navigation through SmartDeviceLink; will lead to future implementation on SYNC via AppLink 3.0
Weeks after Ford introduced its next-generation SYNC® 3 in-vehicle connectivity system, the company today announced it is rolling out Ford SYNC AppLink™ 3.0 next year, giving customers the ability to access their favorite compatible navigation app – much as they do on a smartphone – on in-vehicle touch screens.
“With each new version of AppLink, we’re improving the in-car experience with better integration of smartphone apps and easier ways for customers to access and control the content they love,” said Joe Beiser, Ford director, Connected Services for Europe, Asia Pacific and Africa. “The next version, AppLink 3.0, leverages open-source SmartDeviceLink functionality to give developers a method to project graphics – such as maps – onto our vehicle touch screens.”
Belts need to be replaced at normal intervals (usually every 90-100k on late model cars) or you will have hell to pay. Following is the complete Toyota Timing Belt and Timing Chain List. It pays to know what your engine has. 1998 toyota rav4 5 speed manual transmission timing belt. Some Toyota engines have timing belts, some have timing chains. Timing chains however are a different story and will generally last the lifetime of the engine.
This next version of AppLink benefits from the open-source SmartDeviceLink initiative that is driving new feature innovation. As part of that project, Ford is working with Alibaba, a global consumer Internet service, to extend the group’s map, navigation and music services to vehicles. This has led to the integration of SmartDeviceLink into AutoNavi, Alibaba’s app for navigation services, demonstrating how it can be projected onto a vehicle touch screen for seamless use – just like on a smartphone.
The collaboration with Alibaba is also putting more emphasis on development of SmartDeviceLink. Sharing Ford’s vision of a truly open-source smartphone-linking technology, Alibaba will not only integrate SmartDeviceLink into apps, but also become an active contributor driving evolution of the project.
Commitment to SmartDeviceLink
This next version of AppLink is part of Ford’s implementation of the open-source SmartDeviceLink technology that makes it easier for developers to create smartphone apps that are compatible with communications and entertainment systems from all automakers and suppliers.
The mission of SmartDeviceLink is to standardize and simplify the development process, and expand availability of in-car apps for consumers with well-known and well-established open-source methodology.
Ford, an active contributor to SmartDeviceLink, continues to make enhancements accessible through Genivi with the intention of expanding partnerships with mobile app developers. This will increase the markets where SmartDeviceLink technology is available and provide developers an easier path to getting their apps into more vehicles.
Ford already has rolled out its AppLink technology globally, including North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Three new markets are slated to come on board this year – Taiwan, New Zealand and Thailand.
AppLink is part of the Ford SYNC system. SYNC allows drivers to pair their mobile phones with a vehicle and control the radio, make and receive calls, and operate more features hands-free using voice controls.
By making AppLink software accessible to mobile app developers, Ford is providing a platform to make apps respond to voice commands through SYNC. Even with voice commands, customers should only use their SYNC system when it is safe to do so.
Upon launch later this year, SYNC 3 will include Ford’s current version of AppLink. The next version, AppLink 3.0, will be available at a later date. Information about Ford’s new communications and entertainment system, SYNC 3, can be found at media.ford.com.
Ive managed to successfully connect it to our home WiFi.. not sure what use that is though.
Anyhoo, I see there is an option to install Apps - my Google Fu only leads me to US centric media, and nothing for us in the EU.
Ive even tried to register for the US MyFord site, but it wont accept my VIN..
So, has anyone managed to install new apps, or update the Sync system here in the EU?
My Focus was using Sync2.0 version 3.6.2
Version 3.8 has been out in the US for a while, although not officially offered by Ford in Europe.
I found the update file via a US forum and successfully updated my car today to 3.8. Worked fine, zero problems and now have SIRI support for Apple as well as more options in the Nav.
If someone wants the file, post here.. I have it stored on my Google Drive. It should work for any Sync2.0 Ford vehicle.
PM has been flaky lately, so please let me know you received OK.
The USA orientated firmware didnt play nicely with the EU maps (gave random/broken distance and turn instructions when using nav) and also came with annoying American woman bleating out the instructions.
However, during the week I got my hands on the EU variant 3.8 Fw that is being installed on the latest Mustangs.
That installed great on my Focus, the nav works perfect and the spoken voice is much more acceptable.
Its fixed quite a few bugs for me, and the car will now auto-connect to my android phone with no further input, which it wouldnt do before.
Would you also be able to share the file with me please? - I've got a 2015 Focus ST. I take it if there's any problems with the update you can just factory reset the system?
Just to also check with you guys that this won't affect the warranty?

- As far as I know, the Ford dealers can do a master reset with special software if it all goes wrong*

I would, however, expect to pay for that.This is a EU orientated Fw, so I would expect zero problems. Like I say, it went on my 2015 Focus without issue.

-Full SIRI support for iOS
-More options in the Navi, incl destination as city centre, and Arrival time at destination displayed in place of TTG
-Better auto-connect to paired BT devices after IGN ON.
The auto-connect was the main reason for me to do it - it wasnt playing nicely at all with my Z5 before the update, and it now works perfectly.
Has it fixed the lights beneath the stereo issue do you know?
