![]() ![]() I’m guessing if you have computer experience of downloading to a USB drive it and updating devices it should take about an hour each update if all goes well twice a month. ![]() At least twice a month I see a screen at startup telling me what was updated last night. I’m just glad both of our Fords came with factory Sync 3. So as long as you know the limitations, have the time/ability to perform the updates often, can afford the cost of $1500-$1800 and have the tools and experience to disassemble/reassemble your possibly 7 year old sun baked brittle dash plastic trim parts without damaging them to perform the installation. Has other things that are also non-functional compared to factory Sync 3. And even though it is Ford parts Ford does not warrant them nor will Ford assist you if you have questions or problems. They falsely claim it does not update in Sync 3 without Nav……wrong! My car does not have Ford Nav and my wifes does, we get the same updates. I don’t like those fake excuses for not supporting one of the best features of Sync 3. The company tries to badmouth the Ford updates because they cannot support them. Updates are invisible to the user on a factory Sync 3. We’ll have more cool parts and accessories like this to share soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for ongoing Ford news coverage.Ī few things to know first….this unit does not support Wi-Fi updates, you have to download updates to a USB drive and manually perform these from the company. It may not be the latest and greatest infotainment experience out there, but it’s light years beyond what originally came in these vehicles. These are nice additions for those driving vehicles that were originally equipped with SYNC 2, yet switched to the much more modern SYNC 3 later on, especially when we consider the fact that these are OEM parts. ![]() Plus, they’ll gain Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, as well as voice-activated navigation as an optional upgrade. These kits are truly plug and play with no cutting or splicing required, and allow the owner to keep all of their factory features like heated seats, backup cameras, and climate controls, to name a few. They also come pre-programmed with an 8-inch touchscreen, screen to module cable, GPS antenna for navigation, a replacement media hub and wiring adaptor, and the latest SYNC 3 software. The nice thing about these upgrade kits is that they consist of genuine Ford parts, unlike a lot of other aftermarket screen upgrades out there. Thus, those that own a Ford vehicle built just a few years ago might be stuck with MyFord Touch (SYNC 2), but luckily, companies like 4DTech offer SYNC 2 to SYNC 3 upgrade kits for many of them.Ĭurrently, FoMoCo SYNC 2 to SYNC 3 upgrade kits from 4DTech are available for the Ford F-150, Ford Super Duty, C-Max, Ford Edge, Ford Escape, Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer, Ford Fiesta, Ford Flex, Ford Focus, Ford Fusion, Ford Mustang, Taurus, Ford Transit, Transit Connect, Lincoln MKC, MKS, Lincoln MKT, MKX, MKZ, and Lincoln Navigator. Things are moving quickly in that realm these days, and infotainment screens and the software they run are changing all the time. One of the worst things about owning a modern vehicle is that inevitably, within a few years, it’ll be sorely outdated in terms of technology.
