Picked this up yesterday. 2023 ST with under 12k miles on it. Can’t wait to tweak the aesthetics and learn more about its capabilities!

I did have one surprise - apple CarPlay won’t work via Bluetooth? My 2023 base model F150 does and it has rubber floors lol.

anyhow I’m beyond excited to have it and am looking forward to what’s to come with it!

Welcome

Sync3 does not play well with Bluetooth car play
Only sync 4 will do it

Unfortunately these vehicles had the old Sync3 vs the Sync4 in your F150 so you can’t get wireless CarPlay. Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. For CarPlay I use a wireless adapter. None of them are flawless but I found this one to work pretty well.
