Lynchie435 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi All, Just a curiosity question here, decided before Ford make the change to the "ST-Line" idea to get in on a decent deal with a new Focus Zetec S. Managing to pick one up from the dealership brand new, not been registered yet (getting sent up here on a flatbed), however what nobody can answer me is the SYNC system. I have a choice between the Sat Nav or the Non Sat Nav models. Drove a Vauxhall Corsa SRI from work the other week and it has the Intellilink system so that your phones functions (Google Maps, Spotify etc.) all work on the 9" Touchscreen. I understand this exists on the Ford's via 'AppLink' or 'SYNC 3'. If I pickup the Focus this Saturday being as its brand new, is this going to have SYNC 3 on it? If not is it up gradable (I'm assuming its just a software upgrade)? If not is it worth me just getting the Sat Nav model? Cheers Everyone.

alexp999 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 No, it will only be Sync 2. You used to have to spec the Sat Nav to get Sync 2, but I think it became standard earlier in the year. Sync 3 is only on cars being built from around now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchie435 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Does SYNC 2 come with AppLink? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1i2rj1_ford-sync-2-applink-demo_tech http://www.digitalspy.com/tech/cars/news/a555412/hands-on-with-fords-sync-2-in-car-dashboard-system/ Or is someone full of it here?

alexp999 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Sync 2 does NOT have applink in the UK/EU. That will be US spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sync 2 does have app link but it does not work. I have it on my sync 2 built January 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That's probably why Ford say it doesn't have it then, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
