Perfect Match for Lincoln
My 2016 Lincoln MKX did not come with Sync 3, as it was an early production model. This hub was a precise match for the ones I see in the 2018s that do come with Sync 3. Not only did the LED color match, but the secondary USB connection inside the console works just like it should with Sync 3. Very pleased with the results.

Needed to get help..:
The device is very easy to install- the issue is downloading the sync3 update. I tried for 3 days, I could not get all the files unzipped- bought a 32 gig thumb drive ect.
I ended up taking it to the local ford dealership l- they kindly only charged me for 1/2 hour. So in the end it was still cheaper for me to do it myself -

Apple Car Play 2016 Escape
Quick and easy install.
Works as advertised!
Hard to believe the dealer charges $250 for part and install which took maybe 10 minutes.

2016 Ford Edge - Apply Pay Works Great
This install was very simple thanks to the online video directions. I performed the firmware update first and then installed the USB hub and the installation was complete. If you want AppleCar Play or Android Auto, this adapter works great and the install takes no more than 15-30 minutes.

Makes Apple CarPlay work!
Update your Sync3 software to version 2.2 first. There's instructions online on how to do it. Make sure that is done first and working right. Plan on rebooting (complete shutdown and start up of the vehicle) at least once or twice before version 2.2 gets itself sorted out. Then swap out the old USB port for this one. The next time you plug it your iPhone, you'll have Apple CarPlay. Impressions: if you have Sync3 and navigation from Ford, I'm not convinced that Apple CarPlay offers any great advantages. In fact, I'm leaning towards not using CarPlay. The Sync3 and iPhone integration is pretty decent without CarPlay. To each, their own opinion. Bottom Line, this part does exactly what it is supposed to do, installation is easy.
