I have looked at several videos and called a Ford dealerships but could not get my Android Auto to work. I viewed your video and tried your instructions and it works Great now. Thanks Steve..
Hi Yalaha, so glad that the video was able to help you figure out how to set it up! Enjoy the car now that it's working :)
i just bought one this afternoon, thank you fr this info!
You’re welcome Mike! Hope you enjoy it
thanks for doing such a great thing, it's a niche topic video
You're welcome!
Thank you for your helpful video!
You're welcome Alexandra! Hope you love your EcoSport
Great video thank you, just a quick question please.. Does android auto only work when the USB cable is connected or can it also work with Bluetooth. I have been able to get it working with the USB cable connected to my phone but as soon I remove the cable it goes to the Ford system and no more android apps.
Glad it helped! It's wired Android Auto/Apple Car Play in all of Ford Sync3 vehicles, so it's the same in the EcoSport. Unfortunately you do have to be plugged in for Android Auto and Apple Car Play. There's a company that I believe offers a wireless solution, if I can figure it out I'll let you know
@@CarsWithSteve thank you for your kind reply. Please do let me know when you can with regards to the wireless solution. Thanks again 👍
@@ryanrandolph2224 It's because the system requires a wired connection for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to work. A number of manufacturers, Ford included, have some of their lineup that is wired while others are wireless
@@ryanrandolph2224 it doesn't work like that. Your phone needs to be paired first in order for bluetooth to work and not everyone is as tech savvy as you apparently are which is why I create these videos
@@ryanrandolph2224 if your phone isn't paired yet, clicking on sources will do nothing
Sounds like a dumb question but does the USB charger have to be an Apple one in order to work? I’m using a USB chord that I got from a different store but it’s still not working?
Not a dumb question at all! It doesn't have to be an Apple cable.. but it does need to have support for data transfer. Sometimes 3rd party cables will be charge only and not support data!
@@CarsWithSteve thank you so much!
Do I first need to download the android or apple app to the phone prior to trying to connect it to the sync3?
Apple Car Play will work automatically, you may need to download Android Auto if you've got an older phone.
All you need to do is connect via USB and a message will pop up on the Sync3 screen.. and then watch the messages coming up on your phone
Android @ 3:27
Thank u bro
You're welcome!
Really useful thank you so much
You're welcome, glad you found it helped :)
anyway around it without USB cables?
Someone was telling me about an aftermarket AirPlay device that would let you connect an iPhone wirelessly but you'd still need to have the device plugged into a USB port
I am having trouble deleting a podcast. it plays ever time I plug my phone to charge. I can't figure out if it's on my phone or on the sync
Delete the podcast from your phone.. it wouldn't be on the Sync system without being on your phone!
Why haven't I got sat nav on my touchscreen it's a 19 reg ford focus
It's not a standard feature in Ford vehicles...
Hello. How can i turn off the charging on my android?
When it's plugged into USB there's no way to toggle off charging..
Hi. Does the Style package of Ecosport support apple car play?
Hey Uğur! Apple Car Play and Android Auto are available on any Ford vehicle that is equipped with Sync3. If you see a big 8" screen in the center console of a 2017+ Ford then you know that you've got a vehicle that supports Android Auto/Apple Car Play
@@CarsWithSteve many thanks Steve. I just connected my iphone via USB then apple carplay showed up instantly.
@@ugururesin8405 Great to hear it's working for you! Enjoy the car
Can you use UA-cam on Android Auto? I don't see it on the screen.
Not just yet unfortunately
@@CarsWithSteve I found a way to do it. I selected "audio" on the car screen, source, then selected the name of my phone.
@@dannieden4596 And the UA-cam app actually worked? Is it streaming video or just audio?
I've had a ton of people on other videos not able to figure out UA-cam specifically
Hi, i have a ford ecosport st line 2020 with the same screen but i see only 4 bottom and not a bottom to go in navigation, i've an android device but android auto not working
Hmm if you’ve got this screen in a 2020 it should work. I’m going to assume you’ve connected it via USB trying both ports?
Is the software for your phone and ecosport up to date?
@@CarsWithSteve ha funzionato 😁
@@Andrif94 Amazing! Chers
Hey, I have 2020 Ecosport but it doesn't support android auto..any idea how I can enable it? May be it's a fly audio!! BTW I am from India...
Does your EcoSport have the larger Sync3 screen like what you see in the video? If you have an S or SE model without the added Sync3 system you wouldn't have support for Android Auto or Apple Car Play
@@CarsWithSteve yes I have the same screen but don't have that Apps button on the home screen 🙄
@@justforlaugh9015 Few things you could try if you haven't:
1. Try a new USB cable - you need to be connected via USB for Car Play to work and for the button to show up
2. Make sure you're updated to your latest operating system for your phone
3. Make sure Sync3 is up to date with the latest software update
If none of that works you can try performing a factory reset or take your vehicle in for service
Looking to play audio from the usb port.
If it's music on a phone, connect through bluetooth and you should be ok! Some music apps may not work when connected so make sure that your phone operating system is up to date!
Can I use UA-cam on AppleCarplay?
Unfortunately not - Car Play doesn't have the support for UA-cam playback
Does Ford escort have apple CarPlay?
If you have the Sync3 media screen like in this video it will. The screen on the base S trim level and the SE without the convenience package have a 4" screen that does not support Apple Car Play or Android Auto
Procurei igual uma cadela, vários videos brasileiros para me ensinar a usar isso e foi aprender com um norte americano. Tão simples.... Meu Deus... Porque ninguém explica isso aqui no Brasil?
Nao falo portugues.. Mas você me deu uma boa ideia para olhar no ano novo
