SYNC 3/Apple Carplay not working.

Recently bought a 2016 Ford F-150 XLT Sport and it has the new SYNC 3 infotainment system. When I plug my iphone 6s in, I do not get a Carplay pop-up or anything. Just says at the top of the screen that a device is connected. I have tried plugging in while connected via bluetooth but with no success as well. Also, when I try to update apps while connected, the screen stays stuck on Updating Apps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in using some of the apple carplay apps features with the sync 3 system.

Also, my iPhone is running iOS 9.3.2

Thanks, Jon

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2

Carplay is not available yet for 2016 models. An upgrade is due to be released by the end of the year.

Not true they are still trying to get the updates ready spoke to ford the other day in Dearborn mi. They told me they are still working it so it is coming to the 2016 models that have sync 3

And you know this because you are in Ford engineering and you are leaking this information? You found it as fake news on the internet?
