FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

• Q – “I have manual climate and the bottom right corner of my screen just has the date. Will this add the on screen controls?”
• A – No. There is not a cost effective way to add automatic climate control.

• Q – “My backup camera does not work, will this fix it?”
• A – No. Backup camera failures are common. If the backup camera is not working, it will need to be replaced.

• Q – “Will this add SYNC Connect / FordPass controls from my phone?”
• A – No. SYNC Connect is a separate modem optioned in some vehicles. We do not currently offer a kit to add this functionality.

• Q – “Will this kit void my factory warranty?”
• A – No. This kit will not void your vehicle warranty. Although Ford will not warranty the components in our kit, we do for one full year! 

• Q – “Can I still update the SYNC software when updates are available?”
• A – Yes. You will still be able to update SYNC via USB thumb drive from our software updates page HERE. 

• Q – “Will this kit affect my SiriusXM subscription?”

**Regardless if your SYNC 2 system is navigation equipped or not, you will need to select "Navigation Version" option under "Kit Options" if you would like SYNC 3 to have navigation.  

† The Explorer will not display the source "Bluetooth Audio" & "USB" in the instrument cluster (All other sources will still display in the cluster). Bluetooth Audio and USB will still show as a source on the main screen. When selected, Bluetooth audio will still Artist, Title and Track information in the cluster. The only loss is the ability to select "Bluetooth Audio" & "USB" from the cluster. This caveat only found in SYNC 3 software versions 3.0 and higher. Downgrading to version 2.3 will return this functionality.
