All you'll need to do is make an account with owner.ford.com and download your vehicle's software update onto a drive, then install the updated USB port into your car's center console. (Part #HU5Z19A387A) After that, simply plug the drive containing the update files into the center console USB, then allow it to update! After that, you're good to go!

So in order to get CarPlay for $50, you have to have a Ford Mustang 2016.. LOL

Thanks for the tip! The dealership wanted 2 hours of labor + part cost for this upgrade. They wanted $300. Ridiculous. I had it up and running for $56 after tax!

Kudos to Ford for letting this be a reasonable hardware change and a software update without having to pay the dealer to do it.

Never disappointing with the cool, interesting content man. Keep it up you're the most original automotive "youtuber" to date in my opinion.

The title should have been "Secret Trick to Getting Apple CarPlay on a Ford for $50."

Not true, Sync3 has the system built in, they messed up production and installed the wrong usb port that allows carplay to work. It is susposed to be installed. I got it fixed under warranty in my 2016 Focus RS.

This is great that Ford lets you do this so simply. I’ve had VWs and Audi’s for years and not once have they allowed owners to upgrade the infotainment system to get features that are on newer models.

You are one of the few youtubers that actually post shit that helpful and relevant thank you for that keep it up

When doing the update, I found out that my Focus doesn't like USB 3, had to find a USB 2.

Great video for those who want it. I don't have a Mustang, however my car came with Android Auto. A few months later when Carplay was made available, it was a free download similar to yours, which they included a free navigation update as well. Not a fanboy of either setup. I use a Galaxy S8 + and my other half has an iPhone 7+. We've tried them both back to back and Android Auto works much better hands down. Plus being able to display Google Maps from the phone onto the head unit when the factory navigation cannot find the location, is awesome. It also means having to ever upgrade the factory navigation SD card. Considering Google Maps updates like every 30 seconds compared to the months, possibly year, they took to create that updated nav SD card. Whichever system you used, the technology is still amazing.

Do they make a part like this for a Chevy Silverado? If so can you link the part number.

I’m addicted to this channel and It bothers me that you don’t daily triple upload .. or just one daily upload would be enough.

I love your videos because they're actual car videos, not vlogs which no one cares about

I know that it's too late to ask this, since the video was posted on 2018, but to buy a gadget like this, do you think that it would work on other cars? Or do I have to check on my car system through their website first?

If I were to do this to my 2016 Ford Explorer, would by forward and backup cameras still show up when in reverse or when needed? Thank you in advance to any answers!

Damn, that’s why the 2016 models were a deal breaker for me. Thanks bro!

That's cool, keep up the good work 👌

this is really cool, I just got a range rover Evoque 2019 but it doesn't have any car play is there anything that can be done like this on a range rover?

When you went in the apt and took off your shoes I had a flashback of Mr Rodgers neighborhood lol.Another killer video

Hey bro! Hold down on your speech button on the steering wheel to activate Siri too!

Would this work on a 2013 mustang?

I just did this on my 2016 Taurus. On the Taurus, there is a housing around the adapter. Remove the housing and then separate the adapter. Since it’s in the center console, I use an angled USB so it isn’t sticking out. I flipped the new adapter housing over so I can use a right angle adapter that I have rather than buying a left angle adapter. As for the update, the Wifi will already have it up to date if you park in a garage with a good WiFi connection.

Hey, I have a 2011 Honda CR-Z with the original radio/navigation system. However it doesn’t have CarPlay; I saw your video but don’t know if it’s going to work. Can you give me some suggestions on how can I added CarPlay to my car. Thanks so much 😊

Just a heads up you need sync 3 for this to work! so 2015 models SOL

I love to see a manual transmission on a mustang❤️

2am and I’m here at this video! Love it man!

How well do the cooled seats work? I'm getting an S550 but that's the one thing I can't get much info on. Very mixed reviews.

Thanks for the tip!!! I have a 16’ GT as well and it’s been driving me nuts without car play.

This is amazing. You're brilliant!

I don't believe this works on the 2015 models as this didn't have Sync 3, but Sync with MyFord Touch. Do we know if this will work with that system?

What iphone did you use . I have 2017 dodge van pluged the iphone6+ and showed in the screen of the radio only in very big apps. The radio says you need a iphone 7

yep definitely one of the first things I'm going to do when i trade my `12 in for a 16 in a few weeks.

Damn man that’s gotta be super useful!

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly. I have a 16 Mustang and I been wanting the car play for months.

Thank you for this video, Do you have any advice for Apple car play on Nissan cars?

Great information and video 👍

You should make a Spotify playlist of all the music you listen to. That would be dope! 👍🏻

Hey man love the vids keep up the good work 😀

do you know if that is available only for Mustang.. I have an acura TLX 2017 and i am told that i cannot upgrade the system??

Just got a 2019 Tacoma. Would I need to replace the USB port and does Toyota have updates like this?!? Any idea?

nice! i did this a a little over a year ago with my 2016 fiesta st. works great! anyone with an android phone can just do the software portion to get it to work!

Will this work with aftermarket nav because I have the 4 in screen sadly

Awesome video! I just picked up a 2016 as well and I had no idea this could be done. Thank you!

Damn if only my Focus SE was a Titanium I could do this :(

Very easy install, good video.

Does this actually work with sync2 on the 2015s? I thought this was only for sync3

207,000 subscribers just saw it. Congrats. Good hustle great job on all the editing.

I am doing this! I already updated the software, and will be ordering the USB port!

I was looking at mustang parts and saw I really cool hood that you might really like, it's by cervinis and its a ram-air hood called the stalker hood. MEAN looking hood and it would look sick on the stang. Hope you take a look at it.

What do i need to ask ford for when getting the usb. ? I have a 2015 Ford F-150 xlt with sync touch

that's really cool. i wish other manufacturers made it this simple to update your head unit. other auto companies need to take notes.

Dang, I wish this kind of stuff could work for my Tacoma 17

So secret, that only the dealership knows about it...

I’m doing this update right now and my car is getting random error messages on the display screen about “ train left tire “ have no clue what that means, is that just a side effect of it updating ?

My Lincoln MKC didn’t come with navigation. So you think I can put a navigation in my car ? I do have the space for the sd card plus everything else

is there an adapter for a 2018 infiniti q50?

Don't even use IOS, still watch for entertainment.

I just did this to my father’s 2016 Ford Escape. Had to search around at local dealers for the hub. There are two that you can get with different part numbers, the only difference is the white or blue light around the USB port. Just follow the instructions on the Ford owners site and pop the new hub in, start her up, let the update do its thing (about 30 minutes) turn the car off and back on, and you have Apple CarPlay

Saw that the HC3Z-19A387-B is replaced by HC3Z-19A387-E, so I ordered this directly from Ford for $50. They sent HC3Z-19A387-F which is an even newer revision. Just installed today and working great!

Congrats on the upgrade 😁 but, what about Honda owners? I own “Honda Accord Coupe 2015” is it possible to use this method too?

Same with my new sierra.... I use android auto vs the gm mylink and like you said.... Google maos are much better than the stock navigation.

I have a 2014 ford escape and my car has a touchscreen with Sync 2, so if i did all the steps he did to get Sync 3 and apple carplay will it work

can you please help? i bought the new usb hub and i got the download on my flash drive but i connect it to my car and it doesnt update at all

I want a heart man you never notice me I'm your big fan bro

Itsjustagiggle

I’m afraid to ask, and plan to investigate, but I have two 2014 Escapes - not sure which Sync. From you criteria and research, do you know if this will work for me?

Website said the usb part is not compatible for ford fusion 2013. Is there an alternate option for the 2013?

Does Spotify and Google Maps work on car play?

7 minute video. NOT SATISFIED! Lol, keep it up man. Good tip!

I have a 2013 C-MX energy, it does have the CarPlay switch in the steering wheel. But I have not been able to connect my iPhone interface with it. So you're saying I should just change out the USB port what is the part number please.

Hey bro thanks for a nice piece of info. But my question is does this trick work on any car make or model that has touch screen radio display coz I don’t own a ford? My car is a Hyundai 2016 model and I am desperately looking for this kind of thing.

You vid title should have said upgrade to CarPlay if you own a 2016/2017 Mustang.

notification squad?? ^^

@ itsjusta6, So I have a 2015 Mustang and on the Ford website it say's "This part does not match your vehicle" Is that right? should I ignore this and buy anyway?

sweet vid man, just a question, do you *have to* use the cable? I thought most cars for the last 5-8 years have bluetooth default? It would be a hassle to plug in cable every time

Never got a heart new sub!

🌈🕊️ Thank you for sharing! 💦

I have the same setup on my 2016 F150 and love it but is there anyway to play videos on the Sync3 screen?

Do you know if this will work on any car? I’m looking to purchase a 2017 Subaru and they are in the same boat, no apple car play.

it wont work on 2015, why ? because the 2015 head unit is an older interface as compared to 2016 and above , you were warned the car on his video is a 2016 !

6:20 aaand now everyone knows where u live

I have a 2016 Buick envision, am I getting a new 2016 USB port or a 2017? Why would I get the same USB port? Will it work if I get a 2016 port?

You are the Real MVP for this video sir! Going to buy that part immediately! Earned a sub from me 👍🏽

Does this work with ford mySync 2? Cause Ik In 2015 they haven’t came out with Sync 3 yet and I have a 2015 mustang

did you just show your location? PLease tell me you were not at your house when you did that...

Hi bro, I want the same Carplay for my Nissan Altima 2017 2.5 SL Model. Can you help me in this regard.

I have a 2016 Mustang GT. Can you do this apple car play update while connected to WiFi or do you need to manually download it onto a usb?

6:27 you gave away your location

Would this work with a 2016 hellcat?

Did you buy the new USB port for the same year/model, or did you get one for a newer mustang?

What year was the car you bought part for and is it available for other brands?

Notification squad 🔥

Big fan, give me a heart bro!!

Hello I saw your tricks it was wonderful but I wish if I manage with my vehicle But only one question I have acura MDX 2020 , does it work with it?

Is this work on 2013 Ford Escape? Can I do the same as you said and get Apple CarPlay replaced?

Shouldn’t this be titled how to get CarPlay on your Ford Vehicle with the Sync 3 System?

"Pulling up to the Ford place" you mean the dealership

Would this work on sync 2 I have a 2015 mustang and I need sync 3 with car play would it just work with the USB port? Or do I have to change the whole system?

Is it working only for ford?? can I use that for my Chevy Malibu 2015 ?thank you
