Will Ford retrofit current Sync 4A infotainment systems when they migrate to Android.

[efisher]

Has anybody heard if Ford has made any definitive statement regarding what will happen to our current Sync 4A systems when they migrate to Android? (I apologize if this was addressed in a different thread.)

I don't think they have confirmed anything. My hope is that they will not "upgrade" the current models, but I understand I'm in the minority and that others hope they will get the migration path to Android Auto.

They have not in the past when switching interfaces between years.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe the MME hardware would support the Google platform

I asked Mike Levine this question. He could not commit but indicated that Ford was looking at options.

The overwhelmingly likely option is it will continue receiving feature updates and patches as if Android Automotive does not exist.

That sounds like a no.

They may not know yet, while it might be technically possible there may be business reasons not to do it.
