davidceder Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I guess Sync Connect will launch with the 2017 Escape. Do you think there will be a means to upgrade the 2016 Edge's with this capability? Would be cool to have smartphone access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IggyAZ Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 As far as I have heard it is a completely new computer hardware and software and isn't something you can upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) they're adding an embedded modem apparently and that is additional HW. Edited December 19, 2015 by cab2g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Should be able to add it to sync 3 but that hasn't been announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidceder Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Iggy; Saw where you ordered an MKX with Sync 3. I discounted the 2016 MKX because it did not have Sync 3. I contacted my Lincoln rep and he did indeed state that Sync 3 is starting into production on the MKX but he did not know when it would be available. I am very close to pulling the trigger on an Edge but decided to make a trip to the valley tomorrow ( I live in Payson, AZ) to take a look at the the car. Did you get any input from your dealer as to when you might expect your car with S3? I am going to Fiesta Lincoln in Mesa. Where did you order yours from? Did you get the 2.7L engine? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Does the sync connect system use the same cellular modem available in this accessory for the 2015/16 Edge? http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-edge-remote-start-system-cellular-access-p-3557.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) The 2016 Lincoln MKX with MLT also has Sync Connect so it's not strictly tied to Sync 3 and the new headunit. The Sync 3 MKXs began production in late November I believe and you can now find them trickling in. I couldn't wait on my MKX and picked up my order in September. I use Sync Connect all the time, great feature. Edited December 29, 2015 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
