Saw a video where a guy said the 25’s had the YouTube app from the factory. My24 doesn’t but my wife’s 25 exploder does. Any way to add this?

Confirmed, YouTube app works well on the Sync in my 25. It's under the apps section. Only works when parked but my son enjoys it while I get gas ? Came factory installed. Not sure if you have to have it on your phone first or how it works but it's there and works.

It would be nice if they can add it to the older Gen14 F-150s

So I just read and learned on another forum that the '25 Exporer is running the new Android based OS. Is this true on your Explorer you refer to? If so you should find a lot of differences I would think. https://www.ford.com/technology/ford-digital-experience/
Yeah the wife’s Exploder has the android os. But the TikTok lol that I saw of the f150 didn’t look like her android os. It was just under apps, like on our trucks.

I can link the vid, but never know how these forums feel about links

I've always had YouTube on my phone but I didn't do anything to add it manually to the truck. It's probably just pre I stalled on the 25's is my guess. When I use the search for apps button on sync it doesn't find any other apps.

That’s what I am wondering. Would be odd to keep the 25s at a different firmware compare to the 21-24.

Just seen some posts with a new sync version 25017, revision 1586. Enables the YouTube application option.
I wish I could force update my truck.

Let's put this on distractive driving list. Right now the vehicle has to be in park...but someone will figure a way around that.... now some idiot will be doing 75 mph and watching You Tube... :crying::crying:

That's cool, can you share your SYNC version? (it's in the About SYNC )
