I don’t think the XLT trim has SYNC3i was wondering if you can add ambient lighting and make it work with the sync 3 display on the xlt trim.
They both have the sync 3 and the lariat is too much just for ambient lighting.I don’t think the XLT trim has SYNC3
if you want ambient light and SYNC3 go for the Lariat, it brings both and you’ll have nothing to add
The recently posted Product Packaging Guide calls it out as "Ice Blue" not crazy about it personally. Regarding Sync 3 the lower trims just call the head unit an 8" center stack touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity (Apple carplay and android auto compatibility) while the Lariat specifies that it received the Sync 3....Every trim level gets sync 3 by default. Ambient lighting only appears on the lariat though no one knows exactly what that entails. We do know it will not be color changing and will be that teal color that Ford loves to use.
I only see Sync 3 listed under the Lariat Lux package. The other trims just say apple car play and android auto but it looks like they don’t have all the sync3 features… check out the sheet posted earlier tonight… maybe I am missing something but looks like full sync 3 is only on the lariat.Every trim level gets sync 3 by default. Ambient lighting only appears on the lariat though no one knows exactly what that entails. We do know it will not be color changing and will be that teal color that Ford loves to use.
I believe only Lariat gets full Sync 3 (Sirius, “swipe capability” and capacitive screen). You can check my post history but I specifically asked this question and consensus was that XL and XLT get pressure/resistive screens and limited functionality.Every trim level gets sync 3 by default.

So you might be mistaken...

I double checked and you guys are right, my bad.I believe only Lariat gets full Sync 3 (Sirius, “swipe capability” and capacitive screen). You can check my post history but I specifically asked this question and consensus was that XL and XLT get pressure/resistive screens and limited functionality.
ANYWAY…
If ambient lighting is only one color then it should be super easy to add later!
Yes but is there any way to make it work with the touchscreen like the lariat does?I believe only Lariat gets full Sync 3 (Sirius, “swipe capability” and capacitive screen).

As a gauge watcher, a habit from driving junk. I too hope to see a power flow app for the hybrid system. I’ve seen the ones that are in the Escape and it’s kinda nice.I’m bummed by the software choice. I’m hoping Ford installs a version of Sync 3 that just leaves some stuff out. Leaves the door open for custom installs if some capable software leaks. I’m also hoping the Hybrid comes with some of the same hybrid info screens that are available on the escape’s infotainment
It’s just an on/off, theres no color adjustment and how often are you turning it on/off. So I don’t see why its necessary to have it touch operated, but, to your question I highly doubt it will be possible without reflashing the infotainment and voiding your warranty. I would just leave it always on or maybe wire it to my headlamps so they turn on at night.Yes but is there any way to make it work with the touchscreen like the lariat does?
I hope so! They’ve made a huge deal about the hybrid powertrain being standard that you think they would include existing technology that wouldn’t cost them much if anything at this pointAs a gauge watcher, a habit from driving junk.

My new Ford Maverick Lariat 1st Edition only has one color! On-line shows its supposed to have 7 colors.I don’t think the XLT trim has SYNC3
if you want ambient light and SYNC3 go for the Lariat, it brings both and you’ll have nothing to add
