2024 Sync 2 to Sync 3 Upgrade kit, Compatible F-150 Lincoln, SYNC3.4 My Touch/Support Carplay,USB hub,APIM Module -8 inches,Shipped from The U.S

Got this back in August for my 2015 F150 and haven’t had any issue’s whatsoever. Works like the truck came with it from the factory. It was easy to install with no splicing of wires. All options my truck has continued to work as expected after install including the CD player, upgraded navigation and even the little button on the side of the seat that prompts the massage seat menu to pull up on the radio. CarPlay works great and the screen is really responsive and quick. I’m very happy with the purchase and believe the upgrade was worth it.

This gets a 4 out of 5 for me, but this shouldn’t detract anyone from pulling the trigger on this! This headunit beats the old Sync 2 system in every way.Pros:- Factory fitment, just take the old unit out and this plugs right into the factory harnesses.- Apple CarPlay works as intended AND is the fastest responsive unit I’ve seen from the factory. I’ve used Honda, Toyota, VW, Audi, and Chevy’s system. All of them lag in some way and even has sound lag for some applications like YouTube. The responsiveness of this unit is a tier above the rest.- Navigation works well. I don’t know how you can get around using it while driving, but it works quick. Getting routes is easy.- Climate control works! The biggest issue I had was I didn’t want to sacrifice my cooling seats like with other systems. My seats are all digitally controlled and both work well.Cons:- The USB adapter that came with it doesn’t fit into the Lariat trim area. Mine is in the center console and had the old RCA inputs. I’ll have to make a jig for this just so nothing falls into the gaping hole.- Doesn’t include instructions so you’ll have to research how to remove your dash and the old headunit. If you’re not mechanically inclined, you can take this to a shop. Expect to pay about $200 additional dollars for installation.

2014 Ford Explorer Limited w/ Sony sound systemI’ve wanted to do this upgrade for about 2 years but many of the big sites out there have these kits priced way too high. When I saw that you could buy these upgrade kits on Amazon for half the price I jumped on it.First, this was a very simple install. All you need is a dash removal tool and a 7mm socket. A few cable connections later, you’re installed and enjoying Sync 3. Unfortunately my install was paused for a few days because I was sent the wrong usb hub adapter wire. But after a quick message to the seller, the new cable arrived in 3 days and I was able to finish and enjoy Apple CarPlay. The photos of this kit show a USB hub with one type A and one type C ports. The one I received in my kit had 2 USB type A ports (no big deal).Couple of things I’d like to mention as I hadn’t seen the answer’s posted on the internet. You truly retain everything you had from Sync 2. I was able to keep not only SiriusXM but also over the air HD radio. Something else I completely forgot about before installing was the color changing ambient light setting in the interior. That was also retained. I noticed that my USB flash drive full of music didn’t work when I plugged it in, but a quick Google search revealed that your drive must be formatted to FAT for it to be recognized. After formatting my flash drive works.Everything about Sync 3 is nicer and faster. CarPlay is extremely useful. If you have a older Ford that you plan on keeping, this is a very welcomed upgrade.

Update: seller ended up getting in contact and sending the correct cable. 2 months in and no issue with product. Very pleased with end resultOriginal:I had high hopes for this Sync 3 upgrade from Stance Tuning. The product meets most expectations but there are some fixable drawbacks that unfortunately aren't being addressed.Pros: Seller was quick to reach out after purchase to get my VIN so they could program the unit to my truck features. Software and display itself works great and install was pretty simple after finding a YouTube instruction video. This actually added Navigation which my MFT/Sync2 did not have, which was nice. Display is clear, responsive and works with the factory backup camera. Sync 3 software works well. They did sent a OBD2 to USB adapter incase they needed to troubleshoot, which brings me to the negatives of this seller.Cons: After purchase, technical support was non-existent. No response to any message through Amazon and no telephone number provided to call for help. The USB hub wiring harness they sent isn't correct for my wiring harness installed by Ford. Because of this I haven't been able to use the Apple CarPlay feature which was the entire reason for purchasing this. Install instructions they provided are useless and you will need to find a YouTube video to show you all of the correct steps.Ultimately this gets a 1 star review (and returned) because it won't work and they aren't responsive to any issues.
