I was hoping Apple Carplay would be in the 2016 model year so it looks like I will need to wait for the 2017. I put a Pioneer NEX system in my 2005 so I could use Carplay and have found it invaluable.
Here's the link: 2017 Mustang gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
UPDATE: Looks like 2016 models with SYNC 3 might get an upgrade for Carplay/Android Auto "later in the year" according to this article: Ford is finally adding CarPlay and Android Auto to its cars NOTE: Any SYNC 3 systems in 2016 models will be upgraded later this year for Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It was announced today at CES in Vegas.
Am currently leasing a 2014 Ford Escape which ends in November. Whether I lease/buy the next Escape, it will be nice to have Carplay available. That way I won't need the Sirius/XM expense.
