cab2g Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I wonder how this is different from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Looks like Sync 3 will support all three then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 It appears to be vehicle and phone platform independent so spotify would work on an iphone in a Ford and an android in a Toyota. Whereas carplay and android auto are proprietary to their phone platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
