PrinzII Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Very interesting that they are staggering the deployment times of Sync 3. Usually, that can mean packaging and/or compatibility issues. But for those with older vehicles, it seems they are out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz118 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Does anyone know the release schedule for the 2016 Ford Edge and the 2017 Lincoln MKX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "staggering" only depends on when they start manufacturing the 2016 model. For example I know the 2016 MKX is is coming out in a couple months. The 2016 Edge will probably be in Q4 at the earliest due to the late release of the 2015 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I would expect it to show up as a job 2 (or 3) for the other 2016 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah I wouldn't put too much faith in that guide to be 100% correct. Just a quick glance at some of the stuff in there I see is incorrect about the '16 Edge. And no, I cannot elaborate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker4theSpurs Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Interesting that they wouldn't put the most recent system in the upcoming new Lincoln MKX, yet will put it in the Ford Edge. Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm They are not putting in the 2015 Edge that is out now. You will have to wait for the 2016 Edge and the 2017 MKX to get SYNC 3. Why the Hmmm?

cds71 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Anyone else notice..... They list the mkx as having an 2.7 ecoboost I4......must be a print screwup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 It's a preview - most of the 2016 order guides aren't even out yet.

He's saying they're putting it in the 2016 Edge but not the new 2016 MKX. I think we'll need to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to http://www.lincoln.com/2016-mkx/ 2.7L EB is the config But I think I may just wait for 2016 Edge for the Sync3 from what I am reading about it as compared to Sync2.

akirby Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I can't find the picture you posted on the Lincoln website. I don't think they've announced the engines yet. I was expecting a 3.0L EB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the MKX at the NY Autoshow two weeks ago, and it looks much better in the person than the pictures and videos posted online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwPg_701fto Edited April 28, 2015 by blitz118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cab2g Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Does anybody have an actual picture of "Too Good to be Blue" or Lincoln's "Allure Blue"? According to some vendor they are the same color: http://www.acttestpanels.com/uploads/documents/Certified_Ford_Color_Form.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alzakx Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I just read on Autoblog that the 2016 Mustag will get Sync 3... but only for their higher trims. I guess the 2016 Edge will follow through on their trims. With that said, I hope the 2016 Edge Titanium will get Sync 3 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alzakx Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 One thing that bothers me is that Sync 3 integrates with Siri on iPhone, but for Android you don't get Google Now, even though for iPhone, you need a stupid cable to tether your phone for Applink while Android works with wireless bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz118 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I will wait for the 2016 Edge Sport with Sync 3. It looks more responsive than MFT/Sync, and has more features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5DQEmRxszY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
