just did my swap today. its a millions times better then sync 2. i also added sound deadened the doors, stuffed the sub with poly, and installed the powerbass speakers on the doors. The stereo is amazing now! i've used some of your videos to help me do this without breaking anything. thanx again
I also did a 4" to SYNC3 on a 2015 Focus. You ain't lying about that being difficult. The hard part is figuring out all the parts needed and where to get them.
@@royxale I went from 2 to 3. So, it was incredibly straightforward. Replaced the screen/APIM combo. Aftermarket GPS. I also got a newer USB hub. The USB hub isn't strictly necessary for Android Auto. It is necessary for CarPlay. It also shows a message on screen about an incompatible USB at start up.
@@freak3dot how do you get the program files for your modules after you change out all the screens and do the conversion? I see some sites are charging 100 bucks for it. Is there a way to get this without paying for it?
@@freak3dot Did you respond? I seen a preview of it but when I came here the comment was gone. I have a 2015 Ford Edge but I have a 2018 Ford Edge APIM. Will I need to do any programming?
Great video, I'm getting ready to do the same thing on my 2015 Lariat. You mentioned you were having trouble with the 360 camera system and that you replaced the camera module, did that fix your issue as I'm having the same issue, except its just the backup camera not 360?
Just out of curiosity, what do you have for miles on that rig? Im looking at getting one but the ones in my price range have 120,000+ miles. Just wondering how your experience has been.
I have 136k miles on it. I have replaced the water pump, evap purge, camera module, and both running board motors. I paid 28,500 imported from Canada. I am happy with it.
Good evening Auto Dad! I have a 15 Platinum as well and wanting to upgrade my sync system to have CarPlay. Is the one your showing Sync 3 and not 4 it sure looks a lot more like 4, ether way is fine. Thank you!
You ain't kidding, Sync2 really sucks, I curse the dev team every time I get in my truck! My questions, is how is the map database updated? S2 uses the SD card, and I see this mod replaces that (My usb interface has 2 ports, and SD slot and an audio in... is that ability retained, or ?) ETA: I see you added gps, so even when my S2 has gps, I have to install another antenna?
Hi, I have a Ford Explorer Sport 2016. So no cutting of the wires? You had to give your vin to program the radio? if I may ask where did you get the unit?
Great video. I do have a question. i did an update with my ford escape from sync 2 to sync 3. everything works great but the radio control on my steeling wheel does not work anymore and it is driving me nuts. Any Suggestions ??
You videos are great! The Forscan really helped me out. I do have an issue and I don’t know if you can help. I did the same upgrade that you did from Sync 2 Sync 3. I gave them my VIN and half of the features work and half do not. For example, non of my climate controls are working through the screen. Is there something I can change in the APIM? I did not see anything. Also, my steering wheel controls or heated and ventilated seats are also not working. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks and keep up with the videos!
