Make sure your phone is unlocked and the SYNC 3 infotainment system is turned on. Then, plug your phone\u2019s USB cord into the USB port located near the SYNC 3 display screen. The interface will take it from there, and before you know it, you\u2019re all linked up! AppLink works with iPhone 5 and later models, and Android devices 5.0 and higher.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/347\/2016\/02\/ford-sync3_o.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/347\/2016\/02\/ford-sync3_o.gif\" alt=\"Ford SYNC 3 AppLink\" class=\"wp-image-3925\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Benefits of Ford SYNC 3 AppLink <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>With Ford SYNC 3 AppLink, you are basically copying the contents and usage of your phone over to your vehicle.
