Ford Transit Custom · CarPlay

Ford Transit Custom CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Ford Transit Custom generation we see: Mk1 (2012–2023): 4-inch radio and SYNC 1 vans get the Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto; SYNC 3 6-inch vans get CarPlay unlocked by software update, and 2018-on vans already have it and get a wireless adapter; Mk2 (2023 on): Factory wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on SYNC 4, so no hardware is needed; we set the phone up and check the software is current. From €250 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

By generation
