SYNC 2 to SYNC 3 Upgrade Kit Compatible with 2011-2016 F150 F250 Explorer, 8 Inch SYNC 3.4 MFT, APIM Module, GPS Navigation Built-in NA222 Map, Support Carplay and Android Auto, Easy Install

I am very happy with my new Sync 2 to Sync 3 Upgrade Kit, which I have installed in my 2015 F150 XLT. This is an excellent upgrade and was relatively easy to install. There are a few very informative videos on YouTube which show all of the very important steps for removal of your old Sync 2 Unit and installation of your new Sync 3 Unit. The Customer Service offered by the seller is also Top Notch, if you need assistance. I also like the fact that this new Sync 3 Unit comes with new mounting brackets already installed. This new Sync 3 Unit will come preprogrammed to your vehicle. You just need to message the seller with the Year, Make, Model and VIN Number of your Ford vehicle.I now have Apple Car Play and the unit also came with Factory Navigation.

Very easy to install but Apple CarPlay doesn’t work, this was the only reason for purchasing this.

Product came on time, took about 30-45 minutes to install (i had already watched youtube videos).It's a serious upgrade, i'd go as far as calling it life altering.I installed it on a 2014 f150, but the videos i watched didn't have screws in the same places and some parts i gently pried back (if i remember correcly, driver side lower panel did not need to come off).Sometimes i use android auto, sometimes i use Ford+alexa, sometimes i use nothing at all.Regardless it works 1000 times better than the sync two and it never askeds me for line number because it messed up someone's name, that's worth $700 in itself.If i had another ford with sync 2, no doubt it would get installed.

I ordered this a couple weeks ago. Asked amazon chat how the seller would get a hold of me for my VIN so that it could arrive preprogrammed. Chat said seller would contact via phone or email. Never got an email or attempt to contact over phone. Amazon messages showed an attempt to contact me, but I never check messages. Why would I?Finally did a week after purchase and got some weird auto populated message indicating they had already printed a shipping label, and suddenly had messages from them asking for my VIN. I sent them my VIN and asked them to please take the additional time to preprogram so that I didn't have to give them control of a laptop for hours and sit and wait for them to update/tweek the sync 3 AFTER I installed it into my truck. A little over a week later it arrived. No instructions. No QR code. No paperwork. Some of the items in pics and description were not included, but I appeared to have all the hardware needed so i installed. After it booted for the first time I noticed the software installed was a version from 07/2023, android auto doesn't work, my back up camera, remote start no longer work.I have no idea what they needed to "preprogram" before sending this device to me, but at this point it isn't an upgrade. It's the opposite.They've got 3 weeks to respond and fix this device before amazon won't take the return. I hope they do. We'll see .....

Quick and easy install on a 2014 Ford F-450 that did not have nav. Microsoft actually did something right, the sync 3 is amazing, and the Nav is way better than my 2017 GMC Yukon Denali. I did not receive the tools or gloves with my kit but there was a note inside explaining this. I've only been using it for two days but I am blown away at how much better it is. All functions including siriusXM, climate, seat heat/cool etc are working flawlessly. Given the cost to buy the screen and APIM the price is also quite reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone!!!

At first the installation was pretty simple, the very sparse instructions provided did outline how to remove the panels from my car to remove the old module. with any installation of car electronics, the thing that takes the most time os figuring out how to get access to remove the old unit and install the new one. This was no different, and after a bit of tinkering, I was able to remove my old Sync, and get the new one installed. The one major hiccup was the media hub. The supplied hub had one USB connection, my old OEM hub had two. I picked the right one to connect, as everything powered on as it should have. The seller was very good about answering questions via text message. I am happy with the upgrade to Sync 3 in my Explorer, its a night and day difference!

Great value for the price. Seller is quick to respond. Works as designed… booted right up upon install. You don’t have to be a car guru to install. My wife’s old APIM/screen was constantly going out randomly, until it just died. I chose to move from the sync 2 up to the sync 3 APIM w/sync 4 screen with non glare. Wife is EXTREMELY happy with the upgraded system/screen. The upgraded options alone are worth the purchase. If you need step by step instructions… there are several YouTube videos. Find the one which matches your vehicles model. Easy peasy. 😁

I had high hopes for this upgrade kit, but the experience was nothing short of disappointing. It took nearly three weeks to arrive, and when it finally did, the product was clearly used, with multiple broken parts. Despite this, I still attempted to install it, only to find that it didn’t even work.Customer service was somewhat responsive, but they couldn’t provide clear answers to my questions, making the whole situation even more frustrating. For the price, I expected a functional product and better support. I wouldn’t recommend this kit to anyone looking for a smooth upgrade experience.
