General support

Sidecar supports the SAEJ1979 OBD-II standard for vehicles produced in the USA since 1996 and vehicles worldwide in the 2000’s. For vehicles that support OBD-II — typically combustion and hybrid vehicles — this enables out-of-the-box support for odometer, speed, fuel tank levels, and 100s of other parameters. You can test your vehicle’s OBD-II support with Sidecar for free.

About the Ford Taurus

The Ford Taurus is a full-size sedan that was produced by Ford from 1986 to 2019. Originally introduced as a revolutionary aerodynamic design that helped revitalize Ford in the 1980s, the Taurus became one of America’s best-selling sedans before production ended in March 2019.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ford Taurus support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes, Ford Taurus models equipped with SYNC 3 support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though availability varies by model year and trim level.

2017-2019 Models (with SYNC 3):

  • Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

  • 8-inch touchscreen display

  • USB cable connection required (Lightning to USB for iPhone)

  • SYNC 3 was standard on Limited and SHO trims, optional on SEL trim (via Equipment Group 201A package)

  • Base SE trim came with SYNC 1 or SYNC 2, without CarPlay/Android Auto support

2016 Models (with SYNC 3):

  • Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available via software update to SYNC 3 version 2.2

  • Could be updated via USB drive, dealer installation, or Wi-Fi connection

  • Same trim level availability as 2017-2019 models

2015 and Earlier:

  • No factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support

  • Aftermarket solutions and SYNC 3 upgrade kits available

The Ford Taurus was discontinued after the 2019 model year as Ford shifted focus to SUVs and trucks. For models with only wired connectivity, aftermarket wireless adapters are available that plug into the existing USB port and enable wireless functionality without any modification to the vehicle.
