I’m a bit confused… so this is the Ford app through CarPlay?

What’s the Ford app show on CarPlay as a general rule?

In my opinion, it seems redundant to have the Ford app in the vehicle, but again, I don’t have it on CarPlay, so perhaps I’m missing something.

I use the app to start my car, and unlock / lock the doors when I can’t find my spare key 🤣 (my main key is always in the vehicle).

So, what benefit is having it in use in the car? Genuine curiosity.

The Ford App is on your phone. The difference is the SYNC icon within CarPlay. I had that with SYNC3 on my Ranger, but when I got the Bronco Sport with SYNC4, there was no Ford app within CarPlay. The latest update adds that back to the SYNC4 screen.

If I remember correctly, it provided a link into the car Settings hierarchy, similar to what you would get by exiting CarPlay and returning to the native infotainment system, with the benefit of not having to exit and re-launch CarPlay to get there.

That would suck. I enjoy NOT having it show up on the screen.

Not really... just gives the SYNC4 system the same option as SYNC3 has always had.

You can use it, or just ignore it.

Did you get the karaoke app update in the Ford apps? Not sure if that's only a Android auto thing, or actually in the Ford app itself or if you can access it through carplay I have no idea because I'm anti-apple everything.

Sounds like a ploy so people will continue to pay for connectivity after the first year.
