I was poking around on myford account and saw a video for a new SYNC 3.  I'm not a huge fan of the current layout and such but found I like this new version from what I watched.  The disappointing part..."available on 2016 select models".  I would love to get this and try it out.  I didn't see anyone post anything about it so figured I'd throw it on here.

Rumor was that there was going to be another update for us GenII users but I'm not holding my breath.

Someone with a 2013 SHO put it in his car.  I believe he works at Ford, so he knew what he was doing and got the parts.  There is a thread somewhere with pictures, either here or shoforum.com

I did a search (like a good little poster) before I started this thread and I didn't find anything here related to "SYNC 3".  I'll have to run over to the other forums and dig a little to find this.  I'm curious to know if he needed new hardware along with the software.

Miracast to Sync would be a huge upgrade.

The new Sync 3 is still the same system with a few upgrades.

The same what? They've moved from Microsoft to Blackberry. Most of the hardware will probably be newer versions or similar to current gen. Sync hardware is actually pretty inexpensive at wholesale.

Latest I'm reading is that to use the RIM QNX version of sync you'll have to have the new hardware...Ford apparently has no plans for an upgrade path.

From what I understand, this new operating system based on QNX has not yet debuted on any of the newest 2016 models. Suppose we might see it in 2017

However... some folks on other forums are apparently looking into upgrading the hardware...

To add to the confusion, and perhaps not even relevant here:
Windows 10 is going to significantly shrunk in order to work on multiple devices.  The intent is to run on Android devices.  It could be possible to run Win 10 on Sync hardware.

Interesting.  Link to article(s)?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

It was all over my news feeds yesterday, but here's one:

The initiative is called 'One Platform'.  Essentially having Win, xbox and mobile use the same or similar OS for an identical user experience.
