In prior versions of SYNC 3 software, this menu was present. However, in version 3.0 software, the Android Auto Preference menu will only show up once an Android phone has been initially connected to SYNC.

This is an operating characteristic of the Android Auto application after the SYNC 3.0 update and no repairs should be attempted.
