Finally.. the wait is over. Waze is now available for iOS device owners on Ford SYNC 3. You'll need to update to the latest everything (see below). Waze is free. Waze data is "crowd sourced" -- people on the road report accidents, police cars, and traffic jams -- which show up on your display in a minute or two (as compared to an hour with Sirius Traffic Link). It is a fantastic application (which is why Google bought it..). Here is my report.. To get Waze to work on my Ford I had to disable Apple Carplay through the Ford SYNC 3 settings before anything would happen. Activating Waze on the phone and plugging it in opened up new menus and displays - the key one being setting your default navigation software (a menu item that appears only when Waze is detected. There were glitches, and one crash. For a while when I plugged in the USB on the phone I got the dreaded "Inserted USB is not detected" message. I soft rebooted SYNC 3 and power-cycled my phone and things straightened out. Here is a demo video- sadly done in the garage instead of on the road (not safe to drive and film), but you get the idea.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ntZrJ1bpM Wazer since 2013 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid SYNC 3, v3.0 Build 18025 iPhone X iOS 11.2.6 Waze 4.37.0.0 (Yeah I cross posted this to the main fusion forum..)

Hello, I recently purchased a 2017 FFH. Love the car. Started using CarPlay and it worked great. A couple nights ago I upgraded the SYNC3 from V2.0 to V2.3. It appeared to upgrade fine. Now CarPay does not work. In fact there is no reference to CarPlay in the menus at all, just Android Auto. I've done a reset of the SYNC system, reboot my iPhone, removed the vehicle from my iPhone CarPlay settings. When I plug the phone in, it recognizes the vehicle, and I can select it in settings. However, there is absolutely no indication whatsoever from the SYNC software on the vehicle. Has anyone seen this or have any thoughts on the issue? Thanks, Dave
