see this post: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/oem-a...uccess-361075/

the needed steps should be the same for a 2016 I would assume.

I believe Sync3 has the same button directly on the navigation screen. I'll check tomorrow

P.S. On minute 6:42 is not what you want (mute guidance)?

There is a mute speaker icon on the nav screen if you have the controls popped up.

And on the radio one it shows only the frequency meanwhile on the Mondeo (Fusion) it shows the chanel name as on the photo that I posted earlier.

Not always, but only HD Radio equipped vehicles and stations generally show that information.

Some regular RDS stations will show that also.

I have to ask, Where or How do I save the HTML files that AS Built Compare is asking for? I have search about ten different ways and no luck.

I don't quite understand your question. If you're asking how you get your own info into it then what you do is save your own modules in FORScan in the programming screen; this will create .abt files of the individual modules that the AS Built Compare program can open. Another way would be downloading your entire as-built info (at least the ones Ford actually lists) from this site: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt and this file will be a file type .ab which AS Built Compare program can open also.

Well the link I gave you is for an OEM type of install where the ambient lighting can be controlled on the touch screen like a factory ordered truck. The aftermarket kits cannot be controlled this way.
