Want modern smartphone connectivity in your Falcon without changing the look of its dashboard? Adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a compatible factory SYNC 2 system brings familiar maps, music and communication apps onto the original touchscreen.


NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers wired and wireless smartphone integration for compatible 2014–2016 Ford Falcon FG X models equipped with factory SYNC 2. Your existing display stays in place, and the original Ford infotainment interface remains accessible.


Can You Add Apple CarPlay to a Falcon FG X?


Yes. A compatible Falcon FG X factory SYNC 2 system can be fitted with an additional integration module that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.


The interface adds smartphone connectivity through the original touchscreen. You can access supported phone apps and switch back to the Ford system using a supported factory-button shortcut.


This package requires compatible SYNC 2 hardware. Earlier ICC and non-SYNC 2 systems need separate assessment, so a factory-screen photo is essential before ordering.


Keep the Falcon Interior You Know


Replacing a screen is not the only way to bring smartphone features into your car. This integration retains the factory display and dashboard layout, making it an option for owners who want additional functionality while preserving the original appearance.


You continue to access the Ford SYNC 2 interface alongside CarPlay or Android Auto. Supported factory steering-wheel controls also form part of the installation, with available functions confirmed for your configuration.


Familiar Navigation on the Factory Screen


Whether you are heading to work, finding a new address or planning a weekend drive, having your preferred navigation app on the dashboard can make the journey easier to follow.


With a compatible phone, you can access supported apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Directions appear on the original SYNC 2 display instead of a separately mounted phone.


Live traffic information, online searches and other connected features depend on your phone, app, software, mobile data and connection.


Music Through the Original Ford Audio System


Access compatible audio apps such as Spotify and Apple Music through the smartphone interface. Supported playlists, podcasts and other audio can be controlled through the original touchscreen.


Music plays through the factory Ford SYNC 2 Bluetooth audio system. If your Falcon already has Bluetooth connection or audio issues, let NAVIPLUS know when requesting a quote so the existing setup can be assessed.


Calls and Voice Functions: What Uses the Factory Microphone?


Supported calling, messaging and voice functions are available with compatible phones, subject to software and installation 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 allows the proposed audio and microphone setup to be checked for the functions you intend to use.


Key Features of the Falcon FG X SYNC 2 Upgrade


For compatible vehicles and phones, the interface supports:


  • Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.


  • Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze and supported navigation apps.


  • Spotify, Apple Music and compatible audio apps.


  • Supported calling, messaging and voice functions.


  • Touch control through the original SYNC 2 display.


  • Supported factory steering-wheel controls.


  • Access to the original Ford infotainment interface.


The product includes a 12-month product warranty, subject to warranty terms. Available controls and functions are confirmed for your vehicle and phone configuration.


Wired or Wireless Connectivity


Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you access smartphone integration without connecting a data cable each time. A wired connection is also supported if that suits your preference.


Include your phone model with your enquiry so NAVIPLUS can check compatibility and connection requirements before confirming the package.


Switching Between SYNC 2 and CarPlay


Your original Ford interface remains accessible after installation.


A supported factory-button shortcut lets you move 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.


This upgrade adds smartphone integration to your existing compatible system; it does not convert SYNC 2 into SYNC 3 or SYNC 4.


Check Your Falcon’s System Before Ordering


The package is intended for compatible 2014–2016 Falcon FG X vehicles fitted with factory SYNC 2. Model year and trim alone do not confirm compatibility, particularly if the vehicle has previous infotainment modifications.


For a compatibility check and quotation, send NAVIPLUS:


Your Falcon series and build year.


A clear photo of the factory infotainment screen.


Your phone model.


Details of previous infotainment upgrades or camera modifications.


Earlier ICC and other non-SYNC 2 systems require separate assessment. Please confirm the installed equipment before purchasing.
