If you’re looking for a way to get live traffic information on your Ford SYNC 3 display without having to purchase the navigation package, Waze is a great option. In this post, we’ll walk you through the quick and easy setup process.

First, download the Waze app on your smartphone. Then, go to the app section on your SYNC 3 system and plug your phone into the USB port below the SYNC screen. Give the system a moment to communicate with your device and display the Waze tile in the vehicle apps page. Click on it, and the SYNC 3 screen will display “waiting for device.”

Next, open the Waze app on your smartphone and you will see it displayed on your SYNC 3 screen. The first time you use Waze on SYNC 3, it may take a few minutes to load up. If nothing happens after a minute or two, try unplugging your phone from the USB port and plugging it back in.

Please note that if you leave the Waze app on your phone, it will prevent the navigation from being displayed on your vehicle screen. To avoid this, make sure to close the app after you’re done using it.

We hope this post helps you set up your Waze navigation on your Ford SYNC 3 vehicle. If you have additional questions or need more help, feel free to leave a comment below and we’ll be happy to respond.
