I've noticed that Sync3 likes to promote apps within their ecosystem that might not actually be of any use on that particular vehicle. We'll leave the discussion of advisability on this sort of UX design choice to another thread. ;-)
One of these promoted but non-usable apps seems to be Ford Play -- I'd love to have a way to mirror phone <=> Sync3 screen displays, but apparently Ford Play requires an enhanced entertainment system SKU that isn't available with the current iteration of Bronco Sports.
I'm most interested in the phone (in my case iPhone) => Sync3 screen direction (called "SmartStream"), mirroring the other direction (called "MultiCast") didn't seem as useful.
I've been able to get it to the point where the phone app (Ford Play) and the Sync3 app (Ford Play) agree that there's a phone linked, but the Mirror A / Mirror B / etc… options on the Sync3 side, and Remote Control / SmartStream / MultiCast options on the phone side don't do anything.
Anyone had any luck with Ford Play on their Bronco Sport?
Note: I'm not referring to Apple CarPlay / Android Auto style functionality, this is a separate Ford-centric application that seems to be geared towards multi-screen in-vehicle theatre systems.
