Working with those long nails too😗... Now that is impressive! 🤩 I installed gear for 11 years full time (and I wore long nails for Halloween a couple of times for a half n' half he/she outfit) I can't walk in high heels though🤭 Nice work!

I’ve got heated/cooled seats and a heated steering wheel that are controlled from my Sync 2 unit on my 2015 F-350 Platinum. Do you know if this would support those functions?
This is great 👍🏻. I just got myself a 2014 Mustang with Sync 2, My Touch with navigation and was thinking if I could upgrade to Sync 3 with Android Auto. I think it should work just as well. Please post any updates to see if you have had any issues with it since. Thanks.
If I get the sync 2 to 3.4 will I still be able to turn on my heater and cooled seats through the screen since the truck doesn’t have physical buttons for it. I have a 2014 platinum and I want Apple car play
@@AutoJourney i believe it ford modules are shit my sync 2 screen touch screen stopped working at 55k miles in my 2015 and i never used the touch screen except for long drives and would use the maps
I neeed help 😢 I have the f150 fx4 2014 5.0 coyote, it’s fully loaded but it has the small screen with the buttons on the side, can I replace that with the sync 3? It does has the satellite radio and backup cam and etc. I just don’t know what to do
I upgraded to sync 3.4 in my 2015 ford f150 platinum but i lost the ambient lighting sterio keeps on turning off and on or it will freeze as well any ideas?? They said it already came programed to my truck but when my bluthooth connects it says it connects to a ford focus??? Ill take any help i can get
Not this exact kit, but I'd search online for something specific to your dash and model year. I'm pretty sure most 2011+ vehicles w/ Sync of some sort can be upgraded.
Bought the same kit - some functions aren’t working. Like heated seats, steering wheel controls. Mine says to “email us” and they’ll help - but no email. Do you have support contact info with your kit?
Hey quick question i got mine installed wondering if yours gets hot while using android auto or apple car play? I noticed my screen gets super hot and even freeze for a few seconds sometimes.
Just one question have you had any issues with the new Sync 3 since you have installed this upgrade, also I have a 2014 Lincoln MKX would this also apply and load up with the Lincoln Emblem on the display ?
No issues! Still works great. Depending on where you buy it, they may be able to have it already preselected with the Lincoln screen. If not, you can switch it yourself using a laptop or phone and a program called FORScan.
My exact kit has sold out, but there are other sellers from China that sell a similar kit. Check ebay for a "Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade kit for (your vehicle type)".
If you mean your Sync 2 screen... no, the two use different screens... different tech and connectors. For a Sync 2 to 3 you need essentially the kit (screen, apim, external gps antenna, connector between screen/apim, usb connector, usb port and the cutout for the usb to mount) and hopefully the seller programs it for you... although it can be done with Forscan. Which is why they include the OBDII dongle in the kits, just in case.
On Sync 2, if your car didn't have nav it shows a compass in the top right corner. If you buy the sync 3 kit, everything required to enable nav is included.
Great video, just did the install and it did retain all of my settings. Anyone have issues with the usb component not wanting to stay in the console? For example, when I unplug the usb cable, the hole component comes out unless I hold down on it. It looks to be seated correctly, but something is not catching so it easily pulls back out.
Hey Jonathan, I actually did have that issue with the USB hub in my center console. It just wasn't pushed in all the way. I would just try taking it out and putting it back in, maybe with a little more force.
I didn't move the center console. If you're talking about the bottom cover shown at the end of the video around 22:18 . I believe you can just squeeze it to remove it after removing the side A/C panels.
Hey Julie, I believe going from the 4 inch screen to the 8 inch requires more than just the screen and the module. You will most likely need a new bezel and a different harness. I'd look on ebay for swap kits.
@@AutoJourney I bought All of that but couldn’t find wiring so returned it all. I don’t know what I can to to put a screen but I hate that four inch one enough to get rid of the car even lol 😂
Hey Erick, last I looked my exact kit was sold out. Just search ebay for a "Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade kit for F150". And look for one that includes all the things my kit had. It's been almost a year and still working flawlessly!
Did you have to have the new apim programmed before install or is it plug and play? I’m trying to do this to my ‘14 fx4 but don’t wanna have to pay the dealer for programming
Just search on Ebay, at the time I purchased mine there was quite a few sellers selling this kit. Look for listings that mention your specific vehicle.
You can see a full overview of the 2014 Tremor here: th-cam.com/video/CFbX4sCsIKs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AutoJourney Check it out and let us know what you think!
What's the concern? It's adhesive backed, so it's not direct contact. It's been almost a year since we did the install and the GPS signal has worked perfectly.
I was looking at doing this on my 2014 F150 as well and i was told to keep the GPS away from all metal. What did you pay for that unit anyways? do you have a link?
round of aplause for erica for doing all the hard work 🙌🏻👍🏻
My wife sits with me a lot while I work on vehicles. It’s one of my favorite things.
Thank you Erika. Saved me a ton of labor work with this video. Beautiful assistant dude!
You have inspired me to upgrade my 2014 FX4. I've been reluctant to go the "Tesla screen" route.
Awesome video I also want to upgrade my for touch system on my 2013. Awesome that you have outstanding assistance she's a keeper 🙂
The Most brilliant thing you did in this video, getting her to do most a the work. I tip my hat to you sir! Well Played!
I used to let women do little car repairs on dates, and then compliment them, no matter how they did :lol:. they were so happy and eager after :lol:.

Just got a 2014 fx2 that has climate controls on the sync 2. I think it's for the AC seats package.
Thank you for uploading this video it was really helpful and informative
This is my dream truck!! When it came out I loved it. I hope to own one some day.

Awesome ! I own a tremor too ! But I changed the stock head unit to a kenwood ddx9907xr love it so far. Will be doing this to my edge
Nice! The tremor looks great in red! I've got more upgrades planned for mine.
@@AutoJourney won't regret them.

Yes you will. Just installed this in my 13 f150 and the unit retains everything the old one did
@@raulgallardo1659 what kit did you use?
I heard you say looks pretty legit when looking at the tag on the APIM. That is a counterfeit label on the APIM. Its a parts built APIM.
Hence the "looks". That being said even if it is, it's been almost a year and the unit has been working perfectly.
@@AutoJourney i believe it ford modules are shit my sync 2 screen touch screen stopped working at 55k miles in my 2015 and i never used the touch screen except for long drives and would use the maps
Do you got a link to the module and system you got off ebay?
So now, a year later how is it working? Everything still functional? Was it worth it?
Great video - question though. When reinstalling the airbag, I have had a terrible time getting the bolts to line up. Any advice???
The tool you used to swap the brackets from the old one to the new one, was that a star head or a Phillips ?
Before working on something like this you should always disconnect the battery, specially in this case where you guys where touching the Airbag
Good advice!
Know of a guy that set off the airbags and knocked himself out. Bad day at work.
Hoping I can use this for my 2014 Ford Focus electric. 3g service is going away so I’ll have to replace with 4g
what gps antenna have you used, I've bought two and they keep putting the navigation arrow off the road.
2014 F150 Platinum I have the console and the 3.5 Ecoboost
Correct, not a normal option for short-bed 2-door F-150s.
I neeed help 😢 I have the f150 fx4 2014 5.0 coyote, it’s fully loaded but it has the small screen with the buttons on the side, can I replace that with the sync 3? It does has the satellite radio and backup cam and etc. I just don’t know what to do
Look up a 2013 - 2014 Ford F-150 Sync 4.2" to Sync 3 8" conversion kit.
That’s awesome I’ve been wanting to install it to my 2013 Lariat that I just bought it has the SYNC 2 🤦🏻
I need to do this to my 2013.
Do you have information on eBay purchase?????
I upgraded to sync 3.4 in my 2015 ford f150 platinum but i lost the ambient lighting sterio keeps on turning off and on or it will freeze as well any ideas?? They said it already came programed to my truck but when my bluthooth connects it says it connects to a ford focus??? Ill take any help i can get
Is the ambient lighting option showing up in Sync? Or is it missing?
I wonder if this kit would work for the sync 1 2011 trucks
Not this exact kit, but I'd search online for something specific to your dash and model year. I'm pretty sure most 2011+ vehicles w/ Sync of some sort can be upgraded.
Does this upgrade also retain the backup camera?
Hey Jason! Yes, the factory backup camera still works after the upgrade.

Does that work with the Ford Focus st 2014
Would this work on my 2015 f150 with the sync 2
Can I only buy de API Module and connect it to my old screen?
If you mean your Sync 2 screen... no, the two use different screens... different tech and connectors. For a Sync 2 to 3 you need essentially the kit (screen, apim, external gps antenna, connector between screen/apim, usb connector, usb port and the cutout for the usb to mount) and hopefully the seller programs it for you... although it can be done with Forscan. Which is why they include the OBDII dongle in the kits, just in case.
thinking about doing this to my 15 edge, if the car doesn’t have factory nav does the option show up in the dash display on the right?
On Sync 2, if your car didn't have nav it shows a compass in the top right corner. If you buy the sync 3 kit, everything required to enable nav is included.

@@AutoJourney did you get one specifically for the 13-14 model year or did you get. 15+ and modify it?
This should work about the same for my 2014 ford fusion correct?
Nice video btw!
Yes, the process should be pretty similar if you have all the parts.
@@AutoJourneygreatn thank you much!
@@DV27SG did It work
Can I install Upgrade sync 1 to Sync 3?
This is only for 2013-2014 model year F-150s.
Did you have to have the new apim programmed before install or is it plug and play? I’m trying to do this to my ‘14 fx4 but don’t wanna have to pay the dealer for programming
It's funny that all of the videos I've watched no one that's making these videos answers this question. Not one single one that I've seen.
The guy does say at the beginning of this video that he gave his VIN to the seller and they programmed it to that VIN.
What was the price on the sync 3 ?
I paid about $550 on ebay. Much cheaper than most places on the web. Filmed this months ago and Sync 3 is still working great!
@@AutoJourney where you able to use climate controls with the touchscreen ?
Hey buddy do u still have the link for the seller?
Are you still happy with it
Hi,
I'm planning to get one, can you please send me the link for the seller
Do you know if this works with heated and cooling seats?
It should work. If it doesn't appear at first, Forscan can probably enable it on the Sync 3 home screen.
Need more info on eBay order
Wow mine did not come with all the extra stuff that yours did
Where did you purchase yours from?
@@AutoJourney Stage3
May have missed this but can it work for 2012 models?
As long as your vehicle has the sync 2 touchscreen this swap should work! However, I believe the F-150 didn't get this option until 2013 MY.
How’s the long term review?
It's been working great since the installation! We did a follow-up video:

does it have apple carplay??!
Yes!
Can anybody give me the link to the sync 3 on eBay

Right bro lol i said the samething shes baaad👀
Screen protector its pointless lol
Will this work for a 2012 ford f150 xlt?
If you have Sync 2, it should work. There are kits available if you have the smaller screen as well.
