Ford F-250 SYNC 2 Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade | 2013–2016
Your Ford F-250 has the space and capability you need, but accessing everyday smartphone apps through its original screen can make time behind the wheel more convenient. From finding the next job address to choosing music for a weekend drive, familiar maps and audio apps are useful additions to the factory dashboard.
NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for compatible Ford F-250 vehicles fitted with factory SYNC 2. This add-on upgrade retains your original touchscreen and dashboard layout while bringing supported smartphone features onto the display.
Can You Add Apple CarPlay to an F-250 with SYNC 2?
Yes. Compatible Ford F-250 SYNC 2 systems can be fitted with an additional integration module that provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through the existing touchscreen.
The package is intended for compatible vehicles within the 2013–2016 range, subject to confirmation of the installed infotainment system. Build year and trim alone do not establish compatibility.
You retain access to the original Ford SYNC 2 interface. The module adds smartphone integration without converting the system to SYNC 3 or SYNC 4.
Familiar Navigation for Workdays and Weekends
When your destination changes throughout the day, having your preferred navigation app on the factory screen can simplify the journey.
With a compatible phone, you can access supported navigation apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Directions appear on the original touchscreen, keeping your navigation within the existing dashboard layout.
Available navigation features, live traffic information and online searches depend on your phone, app, software, mobile data and connection.
Music Through Your Factory Ford Audio System
Bring compatible music and audio apps, including Spotify and Apple Music, onto your F-250’s original display. Supported playlists, podcasts and other audio can be accessed through the smartphone interface.
Music plays through the factory SYNC 2 Bluetooth audio system. If your existing Bluetooth audio is unreliable or has connection issues, mention this when requesting your quotation so the setup can be assessed before installation.
Calls and Supported Voice Functions
The integration supports compatible calling, messaging and voice functions, with availability depending on your phone, software and configuration.
Calls routed through the original Ford hands-free system use the existing factory microphone. Microphone routing for smartphone voice commands is confirmed during installation.
This distinction helps ensure that the audio and microphone setup is checked for the functions you intend to use.

Wireless connectivity provides access to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto without connecting a data cable each time. A wired connection is also supported if that suits your preference.
Phone compatibility and available features depend on the device and its software. Send your phone model with your vehicle details so NAVIPLUS can confirm the proposed configuration.
Switching Between SYNC 2 and Smartphone Integration
Your original Ford infotainment interface remains accessible after the upgrade.
A supported factory-button shortcut allows you to switch between SYNC 2 and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The correct button action is configured and demonstrated during installation, together with the supported touchscreen and steering-wheel functions.
Check Your Factory Screen Before Ordering
Two F-250 vehicles with similar build years can have different infotainment equipment or previous modifications. Checking the fitted system is therefore an essential part of selecting the correct package.
Please send NAVIPLUS:
Your vehicle model and build year.
Clear photos of the factory screen and control panel.
Your phone model.
Details of previous audio upgrades or camera modifications.
If you have an existing camera or aftermarket audio accessory, include its details so compatibility can be assessed before ordering.
