Which Ford Kuga years can have CarPlay?
Mk1, built 2008–2012 (6000CD radio or the Sony CD unit; a small navigation screen on some Titanium cars, no CarPlay): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in place of the 6000CD or Sony radio, as the radio has no usable screen.

How long does CarPlay take on a Ford Kuga?
Mk1: two to three hours; Mk2: under an hour; Mk3: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Kuga in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Ford Kuga?
Mk1: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk2: nothing physical changes — the SYNC 1 with a 4.2-inch display or the Sony DAB unit with a 5-inch screen on 2013–2016 cars, SYNC 2 with an 8-inch touchscreen on Titanium X; SYNC 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen from the 2016 facelift, CarPlay after a software update stays and the CarPlay tile simply appears. Mk3: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Ford Kuga, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
