outside of your vehicle.

may only be accessible in the car through
AppLink and others only through Android
Auto or Apple CarPlay. Please refer to the
Smartphone Connectivity information to

the app needs to be running in the
background of your phone. If you shut down
the app on your phone, it shuts down the
app on SYNC 3 as well.

is not shown in the Apps Domain, make sure
the required app is running on the mobile
device.
