AppLink Issues
Possible solution(s)Possible cause(s)Issue
Make sure you have a compatible smartphone; an Android with OS2.3 or higher or an iPhone 3GS or newer with iOS 5.0 or higher.Additionally, make sure you pair and connect your phone to SYNC 3in order to find AppLink-capable apps on your device. iPhone usersmust also connect to a USB port with an Apple USB cable.
You did not connect an Applink Compat-ible phone to SYNC 3.
AppLink Mobile Applica-tions: When I select "FindMobile Apps," SYNC 3does not find any applica-tions.
Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version ofthe app from your phone's app store. Make sure the app is runningon your phone. Some apps require you to register or login to the appon the phone before using them with AppLink. Also, some may havea "Ford SYNC" setting, so check the app's settings menu on the phone.
AppLink-enabled apps are not installedand running on your mobile device.
My phone is connected,but I still cannot find anyapps.
Closing and restarting apps may help SYNC 3 find the application ifyou cannot discover it inside the vehicle. On an Android device, ifapps have an 'Exit' or 'Quit' option, then select it and restart the app.If the app does not have that option, select the phone's settings menuand select 'Apps', then find the particular app and choose 'Force stop.'Do not forget to restart the app afterward, then select "Find MobileApps" on SYNC 3.
Sometimes apps do not properly closeand re-open their connection to SYNC 3,over ignition cycles, for example.
My phone is connected, myapp(s) are running, but I stillcannot find any apps.
On an iPhone with iOS7+, to force close an app, double tap the homebutton then swipe up on the app to close it. Tap the home buttonagain, then select the app again to restart it. After a few seconds, theapp should then appear in SYNC 3's Mobile App's Menu.

Force close or uninstall the apps you do not want SYNC 3 to find. Ifthe app has a "Ford SYNC" setting, disable that setting in the app'ssettings menu on the phone.
Some Android devices have a limitednumber of Bluetooth ports that apps canuse to connect. If you have more AppLinkapps on your phone than the number ofavailable Bluetooth ports, you will not seeall of your apps listed in the SYNC 3mobile apps menu.
