Release from Ford announcing that 2016 sync 3 vehicles could download an update (free) to upgrade the head units for Carplay/Android Auto

Really sad that Mitsubishi appears to not care about buyers after the sale.

Certainly not going to trade my 2016 just for Carplay. Likely Mitsubishi has lost another loyal customer. Most of our local dealers (Seattle/Puget Sound area) have dropped Mitsubishi- we have to drive 2 hours now to a dealer. We were told by a former dealer service person that they had to argue with Mitsubishi over warranty work on a regular basis.

Did someone tried to retrofit from a 2017 radio to 2016?

Consumers typically don't understand there's a difference between Assisted-GPS (smart phone base) vs GPS (stand alone); both have advantages/disadvantages. Android Auto/CarPlay does NOT require a stand alone GPS antenna b/c it uses your phones A-GPS antenna and smart phone app for maps. Has the benefit of live traffic updates (thanks to your data plan!) but less responsive and less accurate. Also, it seems CarPlay uses are stuck with Apple Maps - Yikes!
