Want to make your old vehicle feel newer? Add a new stereo. Twenty years ago, that would involve ripping out the stock radio and sliding in a new Pioneer head unit and maybe a pair of subwoofers. This time around, it means hacking a new UI onto the stock operating system.

Last week, I added CarPlay to my 2016 Ford F-150. This hack required one piece of hardware and about three minutes. All I had to do was swap the 2016 USB port with a 2017 USB port. CarPlay was immediately available in the Sync 3 system thanks to a 2017 update. Have a Tesla? It’s a bit more work.
