Secret Trick to getting Apple CarPlay for $50!!! 

All you'll need to do is make an account with owner.ford.com and download your vehicle's software update onto a drive, then install the updated USB port into your car's center console. (Part #HU5Z19A387A) After that, simply plug the drive containing the update files into the center console USB, then allow it to update! After that, you're good to go!

Kudos to Ford for letting this be a reasonable hardware change and a software update without having to pay the dealer to do it.

Thanks for the tip! The dealership wanted 2 hours of labor + part cost for this upgrade. They wanted $300. Ridiculous. I had it up and running for $56 after tax!

Never disappointing with the cool, interesting content man. Keep it up you're the most original automotive "youtuber" to date in my opinion.

The title should have been "Secret Trick to Getting Apple CarPlay on a Ford for $50."

So in order to get CarPlay for $50, you have to have a Ford Mustang 2016.. LOL

Great video for those who want it. I don't have a Mustang, however my car came with Android Auto. A few months later when Carplay was made available, it was a free download similar to yours, which they included a free navigation update as well. Not a fanboy of either setup. I use a Galaxy S8 + and my other half has an iPhone 7+. We've tried them both back to back and Android Auto works much better hands down. Plus being able to display Google Maps from the phone onto the head unit when the factory navigation cannot find the location, is awesome. It also means having to ever upgrade the factory navigation SD card. Considering Google Maps updates like every 30 seconds compared to the months, possibly year, they took to create that updated nav SD card. Whichever system you used, the technology is still amazing.

You are one of the few youtubers that actually post shit that helpful and relevant thank you for that keep it up

This is great that Ford lets you do this so simply. I’ve had VWs and Audi’s for years and not once have they allowed owners to upgrade the infotainment system to get features that are on newer models.

Damn, that’s why the 2016 models were a deal breaker for me. Thanks bro!

I love your videos because they're actual car videos, not vlogs which no one cares about

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly. I have a 16 Mustang and I been wanting the car play for months.

This is amazing. You're brilliant!

That's cool, keep up the good work 👌

Awesome video! I just picked up a 2016 as well and I had no idea this could be done. Thank you!

2am and I’m here at this video! Love it man!

I’m addicted to this channel and It bothers me that you don’t daily triple upload .. or just one daily upload would be enough.

Thanks for the tip!!! I have a 16’ GT as well and it’s been driving me nuts without car play.

207,000 subscribers just saw it. Congrats. Good hustle great job on all the editing.

Saw that the HC3Z-19A387-B is replaced by HC3Z-19A387-E, so I ordered this directly from Ford for $50. They sent HC3Z-19A387-F which is an even newer revision. Just installed today and working great!

Hey bro! Hold down on your speech button on the steering wheel to activate Siri too!

Great information and video 👍

I had Sync2 on my 2017 Escape. I did a similar process to upgrade to Sync 3, and it just didn't take. Repeated steps, beat myself up, pulled out my hair. Then...I disconnected the battery for a minute. Hooked it back up. Voila! Sync 3 enabled. Then I got an aftermarket wireless Carplay transceiver that I leave plugged in out of sight in the center bin USB, and now I have wireless Carplay on my 2017 Escape. Sweet.

You are the Real MVP for this video sir! Going to buy that part immediately! Earned a sub from me 👍🏽

Not true, Sync3 has the system built in, they messed up production and installed the wrong usb port that allows carplay to work. It is susposed to be installed. I got it fixed under warranty in my 2016 Focus RS.

I love to see a manual transmission on a mustang❤️

that's really cool. i wish other manufacturers made it this simple to update your head unit. other auto companies need to take notes.

When you went in the apt and took off your shoes I had a flashback of Mr Rodgers neighborhood lol.Another killer video

nice! i did this a a little over a year ago with my 2016 fiesta st. works great! anyone with an android phone can just do the software portion to get it to work!

Damn man that’s gotta be super useful!

I just did this on my 2016 Taurus. On the Taurus, there is a housing around the adapter. Remove the housing and then separate the adapter. Since it’s in the center console, I use an angled USB so it isn’t sticking out. I flipped the new adapter housing over so I can use a right angle adapter that I have rather than buying a left angle adapter. As for the update, the Wifi will already have it up to date if you park in a garage with a good WiFi connection.

Crazy where you cane from you really inspire me to get a mustang and start a RU-vid channel crazy how you went from talking of little cosmic stuff to getting a different supercharger and plenty of other big stuff

Just a heads up you need sync 3 for this to work! so 2015 models SOL

yep definitely one of the first things I'm going to do when i trade my `12 in for a 16 in a few weeks.

I am about to do this to my 2016 Taurus. Looks like an easy install. I think you get a lot of the functionality anyway with Sync 3 (including Waze navigation) but I think CarPlay will only get better. As I plan to have my car for a while yet I think it is worth the update

sweet vid man, just a question, do you *have to* use the cable? I thought most cars for the last 5-8 years have bluetooth default? It would be a hassle to plug in cable every time

I am doing this! I already updated the software, and will be ordering the USB port!

Do they make a part like this for a Chevy Silverado? If so can you link the part number.

I just did this to my father’s 2016 Ford Escape. Had to search around at local dealers for the hub. There are two that you can get with different part numbers, the only difference is the white or blue light around the USB port. Just follow the instructions on the Ford owners site and pop the new hub in, start her up, let the update do its thing (about 30 minutes) turn the car off and back on, and you have Apple CarPlay

Hey man love the vids keep up the good work 😀

Very easy install, good video.

You should make a Spotify playlist of all the music you listen to. That would be dope! 👍🏻

Just started watching you man, I really enjoy your videos. You have a very nice car. Thanks for taking the time to share your upgrades and life experiences with us. God bless and again thanks.

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it.

When doing the update, I found out that my Focus doesn't like USB 3, had to find a USB 2.

Congrats on the upgrade 😁 but, what about Honda owners? I own “Honda Accord Coupe 2015” is it possible to use this method too?

I wish Infiniti can do the same thing. Ford is being very smart about this. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you for this video, Do you have any advice for Apple car play on Nissan cars?

Never got a heart new sub!

Don't even use IOS, still watch for entertainment.

Cool 😎 man did that software update work the same thing for Honda Accord 2014 ?

For those complaining about car play not being good, go to your local dealer and get flogged with a $250 map update every six months. After that you will come here with your tails folded like defeated dogs and listen to this tutorial to upgrade your ford to be car play compatible. The problem is tha some people do not understand how the tech works. The person who made this vid just saved me money.

Damn if only my Focus SE was a Titanium I could do this :(

Dang, I wish this kind of stuff could work for my Tacoma 17

🔥💯 love the vlogs

Bruh, i forgot about itsjusta6 channel, and today i remembered the mustang and then somehow i found it. That sting sounds absolutely amazing and look stunning i just had to get back

Same with my new sierra.... I use android auto vs the gm mylink and like you said.... Google maos are much better than the stock navigation.

I want a heart man you never notice me I'm your big fan bro

Great vid bro!

I wish every car manufacturer has this option Ford being amazing and thing about the customer satisfaction as always

Notification squad 🔥

Just got a 2019 Tacoma. Would I need to replace the USB port and does Toyota have updates like this?!? Any idea?

Also Android Auto: Thanks for this great informative video. That same process and USB module also adds Android Auto to a 2016 Sync 3 Ford dashboard system for those of us with Android smart phones. Now many of us know. Thanks Again !

I’m a Silverado guy without apple car play, ima try that shit. I subbed just cuz u did a great job !!

Would this work on a 2013 mustang?

I was looking at mustang parts and saw I really cool hood that you might really like, it's by cervinis and its a ram-air hood called the stalker hood. MEAN looking hood and it would look sick on the stang. Hope you take a look at it.

I just replaced the module using this video yesterday. It all worked as in the video except that I didn't use the long screw driver to unhook the old module. I was able to do it with my hand. I shoved it through the hole and pressed those pins with my fingers.

Dude holy fuck 200k?! I was here before 20! So fucking hyped for you!

Big fan, give me a heart bro!!

Itsjustagiggle

OMG! I am so very jealous. 2013 Jetta TDI with stock entertainment Center. The map was at least two years old when we picked up the car. The stealership was willing to provide the updates for around $200CAD. TBNT. Bought a bracket for the phone. Not ideal but it works.

This worked on my 2016 F150. Thanks.

So secret, that only the dealership knows about it...

7 minute video. NOT SATISFIED! Lol, keep it up man. Good tip!

Thanks for the cool info... p.s. your car sounds sick

AYEEE Cool man! keep up ur entertaining vids

notification squad?? ^^

is there an adapter for a 2018 infiniti q50?

I don't own a mustang but very cool upgrade lots of folks gonna be happy to do this while keeping all oem

I must have missed something....Why did you have to replace the USB port? Why couldn't you use the original? Great Video - Thanks.

🌈🕊️ Thank you for sharing! 💦

Does Spotify and Google Maps work on car play?

Dude this is so awesome, Does this work for VW golf?

I’m not a ford guy, but glad you figured out how to get this feature. I have it in my pickup and it’s awesome. I’d imagine this will also give android users Android Auto. Better than buying a new car!

You vid title should have said upgrade to CarPlay if you own a 2016/2017 Mustang.

6:20 aaand now everyone knows where u live

Hey, I have a 2011 Honda CR-Z with the original radio/navigation system. However it doesn’t have CarPlay; I saw your video but don’t know if it’s going to work. Can you give me some suggestions on how can I added CarPlay to my car. Thanks so much 😊

Hi there, Thank you so much for posting this! We have a 2012 T&C minivan and I’m dying to find this part for my vehicle! But during my search, I happened to find your part online for under $30 if you don’t mind having it shipped from China!? I use AliExpress for 90% of the parts I need (iPhone parts, replacement screens, Electronics, Appliance repair and even additional Key Fobs) No, I am NOT an affiliate - just sharing the link in case you want to buy more, share with your fans or resell them on your channel via drop shipping... 👍😉 Thanks Again ~ Meg ~

6:27 you gave away your location

itsjustabrokenaxle

Will this work for other brands! I have a ram and a Landrover! Wow! Loved this!

Nice video bro. Was wondering if I can do this on 2016 Honda Pilot

Uh, I have a 2016 Mustang and I didn't need this USB connector thing? I watched a couple vids on RU-vid where you just need a USB flash drive, connect it to your laptop/computer, download a couple of files off the Ford website onto it, stick the USB drive into your car and basically download those files onto your car and that's it. Worked for me. Connected my phone into my car after that and it worked. It was for Android Auto though. I don't remember if that process worked for CarPlay as well. But if you have an Android phone, dont spend $50 on this connector thing. Everyone usually has a USB flash drive just laying around so it's free to upgrade your infotainment system. If you have an Android phone and have any questions, feel free to ask!

did you just show your location? PLease tell me you were not at your house when you did that...

i love your videos you inspire me to do big things thanks for the dank memes

Does this works also work android auto?

it wont work on 2015, why ? because the 2015 head unit is an older interface as compared to 2016 and above , you were warned the car on his video is a 2016 !

"Pulling up to the Ford place" you mean the dealership

Thanks a lot it helped me on my 67 Chevy truck

I drive a 2013 camaro and I still watched this from beginning to end lmao
