Hi all,

Picked up a new fiesta st today with sync 3.

The car is a hoot to drive however I can't get any apps to sync with my android phone. Everything on the car is enabled for the apps, I have tried over Bluetooth, over usb, I have tried having the apps open and closed on my phone but it can't find any apps, not even the fordpass app.

I have also tried Ndroid auto as I planned on using it as my satnav, Nd even that isn't working quite right with the display on the car flickering which causes my phone to have a minor fit.

Anyone got a solution or shall I ring ford?

What phone have you got? Have you downloaded the android auto app?

I had the same issues when we got a Kuga with my S8.

After much dicking about finally got it working with the 'fast charging' usb cable.

I leave one of these in the car now
