Ford Mustang S550 Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade | 2015–Early 2016

Your Mustang’s original touchscreen belongs in the dashboard. But when you want familiar phone navigation, streaming music and smartphone connectivity, the factory system can leave you reaching for a separate phone mount.


NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers a wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration upgrade for compatible Ford Mustang S550 vehicles fitted with factory SYNC 2. It brings supported smartphone apps onto your existing touchscreen while retaining the original dashboard appearance and access to Ford’s infotainment system.


Can You Add Apple CarPlay to a Mustang with SYNC 2?


Yes. This add-on interface brings wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to compatible factory SYNC 2 touchscreens.


The upgrade is designed for compatible 2015–early 2016 Mustang S550 vehicles with SYNC 2. Your original screen stays in place, and you can switch between smartphone integration and the factory Ford interface.


Compatibility depends on the installed infotainment hardware. A build year is a useful starting point, but a clear screen photo is needed to confirm the correct package.


Familiar Maps for Everyday Drives and Weekend Trips


A Mustang is built to make the drive enjoyable. Having your preferred navigation app on the factory screen makes planning the route more convenient, too.


With a compatible phone, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto provides access to supported navigation apps, including Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. You can follow directions on the original display rather than relying on a separate phone screen.


Available apps, live traffic information and navigation functions depend on your phone, software, mobile data and connection.


Your Music, Through the Original Ford Audio System


Whether you prefer a favourite album on a weekend drive or a podcast during the commute, compatible audio apps such as Spotify and Apple Music can be accessed through the smartphone interface.


Music plays through your Mustang’s factory SYNC 2 Bluetooth audio system. Calls routed through the original Ford hands-free system use the existing factory microphone, while microphone routing for smartphone voice commands is confirmed during installation.


If your vehicle already has Bluetooth audio or hands-free issues, mention them when requesting a quote so the existing setup can be assessed.


What Does the Upgrade Include?


The integration supports the following features with compatible vehicles and phones:

  • Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

  • Supported navigation, music and audio apps.

  • Compatible calling, messaging and voice functions.

  • Touchscreen operation through the original SYNC 2 display.

  • Supported factory steering-wheel controls.

  • Access to the original Ford SYNC 2 interface.

  • A 12-month product warranty, subject to terms.

The exact controls and available functions are confirmed for your vehicle and installation configuration.


Wireless Convenience with a Wired Option


Wireless connectivity lets you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto without connecting a data cable each time. A wired connection is also supported if that better suits your preference.


Your phone model and software affect compatibility and available functions. Include your phone details with your enquiry so we can confirm the proposed setup.


Switch Between CarPlay and the Factory SYNC 2 Screen


You retain access to the original Ford infotainment interface after the upgrade.


A supported factory-button shortcut allows you to move between SYNC 2 and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The shortcut is configured and demonstrated during installation, so you know how to return to either interface.


Supported steering-wheel controls also remain part of the setup, with their available functions confirmed during installation.


SYNC 2 or SYNC 3? Check Before Ordering


This package is intended for compatible Mustang S550 vehicles with the factory SYNC 2 touchscreen. SYNC 3-equipped vehicles require a different solution.


The module adds smartphone integration to your existing compatible system; it does not convert SYNC 2 into SYNC 3.


Before ordering, send NAVIPLUS:

  • Your vehicle’s build year.

  • A clear photo of the factory infotainment screen.

  • Your phone model.

  • Details of previous audio upgrades or camera modifications.

These details help us confirm compatibility and prepare an accurate quotation.
