APPLE CARPLAY ENABLED AND THIS WEEK'S NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers two main topics: a personal experience with a Ford Mustang and a roundup of automotive news. The reviewer details a minor issue with a rear LED turn signal on his 2016 Mustang GT, which mysteriously resolved itself. More significantly, he successfully performed the Sync 3 software update (version 2.2) on his Mustang, enabling Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. He emphasizes the ease of the DIY process, which involves downloading files, unzipping them, and transferring them to a USB drive, saving the cost of a dealership visit. The update also reportedly improved Sync system responsiveness. The news segment covers a range of manufacturer updates and reveals, including the Lamborghini Aventador S facelift, confirmation of the 2018 Shelby GT350 remaining unchanged, teasers for the Audi Q8 concept and VW Electric Microbus, and new models from Honda and Chevy. It also touches on GM idling production plants due to low sedan sales, the first Ford GTs rolling off the line, a Mercedes S550 Coupe Night Edition, BMW 5 Series pricing, a spy shot of the BMW X7, and Tesla's new Supercharger idle fee. The reviewer expresses satisfaction with the Apple CarPlay integration, a key reason for his Mustang purchase.
