Ford Ranger PX MKII SYNC 2 CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade | 2015–2018
Still using a phone mounted beside your Ford Ranger’s factory screen for maps and music? A compatible SYNC 2 smartphone integration upgrade brings those everyday apps onto the original touchscreen—while keeping the dashboard you already know.
NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for compatible Ford Ranger PX MKII models from 2015–2018 fitted with factory SYNC 2.
Whether you use your Ranger for the daily commute, worksite visits or weekend trips, this upgrade makes your phone’s supported navigation, music and communication features easier to access through the existing display.
Can You Add Apple CarPlay to a Ford Ranger with SYNC 2?
Yes—compatible factory SYNC 2 systems can support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through an additional integration interface.
The NAVIPLUS kit retains your original Ford touchscreen and provides access to both smartphone integration and the factory infotainment system.
This is an add-on interface for compatible SYNC 2 hardware. It does not convert your head unit to SYNC 3 or SYNC 4.
Because factory equipment varies, the vehicle’s year alone is not enough to confirm compatibility. Send us a clear photo of your screen before ordering.
Your Favourite Navigation Apps on the Factory Screen
A familiar navigation app can make a busy day behind the wheel much simpler.
Through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can access supported apps such as:
Apple Maps for compatible iPhones.
Google Maps for supported navigation and destination searches.
Waze for navigation and available traffic information.
App availability, live information and functionality depend on your phone, software, mobile data and connection.
Music, Calls and Supported Voice Features
Bring compatible audio apps such as Spotify and Apple Music onto the original SYNC 2 screen.
The integration also supports compatible calling, messaging and voice functions, with availability depending on your device and configuration. Factory touchscreen operation and supported steering-wheel controls help keep familiar controls part of the experience.
Set your destination and playlists before driving, and use supported hands-free functions when appropriate.
Wired or Wireless: Choose Your Connection
The kit supports wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with compatible phones.
Wireless connectivity offers a convenient way to access smartphone integration without plugging in a data cable each time. A wired connection is also available if that suits your setup better.
Phone compatibility and connection requirements are checked when confirming your package.
How Does Audio Work with Ford SYNC 2?
Smartphone audio plays through the original Ford SYNC 2 Bluetooth audio system.
Calls routed through the factory SYNC hands-free system use the vehicle’s existing factory microphone. Microphone routing for smartphone voice commands is confirmed during installation.
This makes checking the existing Bluetooth system an important part of planning the upgrade. Let us know if your Ranger currently has any Bluetooth audio or hands-free issues.
Can You Still Use the Original Ford System?
Yes. You retain access to the original Ford infotainment system alongside the new smartphone interface.
Switching between the two uses a supported factory-button shortcut. The exact shortcut, including the steering-wheel OK button action where applicable, is confirmed during installation.
The result is a practical upgrade that keeps your original screen and dashboard layout.
Which Ford Ranger Models Are Compatible?
This package is intended for compatible Ford Ranger PX MKII vehicles from 2015–2018 equipped with factory SYNC 2.
However, not every Ranger within that year range has the same infotainment hardware. Before ordering, please send:
Your vehicle model and build year.
A clear photo of the factory screen.
