Great Product
The unit was super easy to install and the instructions were clear and concise. The upgraded unit worked perfectly and I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting Sync 3 in an older vehicle.

Sync 3 upgrade
Install was a piece of cake. Written instructions provided with the unit were not great but the video was very good. No issues encountered; worked the first time. Highly recommended.

F150 Sync 3 upgrade
100% Completely satisfied! Works great. Easiest install. People who complain about the price, should do a little more research. After market radios cost $500-$700 alone, then add wiring kits, new dash kit and if you want factory controls to work add another $150-$250. Then pay for an install. You would probably actually spend more money buying all that instead of just purchasing this from 4DTech.
The install took me 1/2 hr. All factory controls work perfect. Apple Carplay is just the greatest! Glad I did my research and found 4DTech and all their great products! -
Loving The Upgrade.....
My wife has a 2017 Escape with Sync 3 and I really liked it so of course I had to have one too. This upgrade was a simple install on my 2015 F150 and everything worked as it should have. Initial cost is a little pricey but in the end I think it was worth it. Almost like having a new truck. I am enjoying the Android Auto and the ease of connectivity. Just need to figure out what all apps I can use. This upgrade kit is highly recommended.

Don't settle for staring at your phone for navigation when driving. This upgrade is a 'must'
I was able to swap out my Sync 2 with the new Sync 3 in less time than the instructional you tube video. Getting the plastic dash panel removal tools is the best $14 you can spend!
I truly believe upgrading from Sync 2 to Sync 3 so you can see things like Waze and other mapping applications on the big screen is safer than staring at your phone when you're driving. The installation was easy. I will now upgrade my other Fords as well! -
Easy upgrade, OEM Ford parts
I watched the instructional video, then watched it again, pausing as I completed each step. If you’re even remotely mechanically inclined, this upgrade will be easy. The video could have been a bit more clear about how some of the wiring harness clips come loose, but I figured it out after some fiddling.
The parts supplied in the kit are OEM Ford parts, except the power adapter, but it was good quality. Everything works perfectly.
One tip for you: the outdoor temperature reading on the new unit may appear to be “stuck” for several hours. Mine was stuck on 62 for about 6 hours. I called 4D tech support and was told to be patient, the system does some initial temperature averaging, then it will work properly. They were right. But it doesn’t tell you that anywhere in the paperwork. Just a tip to avoid confusion.
Expensive but easy and worthwhile upgrade. Sync 3 is much better than MFT. -
What a great and simple upgrade !!
Could not believe how simple this was to install (you gotta have the proper tools though). Not one cuss word was uttered. Took about 20 minutes. The video instructions were exactly like my truck (2015 Ford F-150 Supercrew), didn't even look at the paper instructions. Turned it on and it fired right up, no problems. Well, one problem. When I went to connect to Apple Carplay, it just wouldn't have it. So I called tech support, talked to Steve, and he said that Apple Phones are very finicky and I needed to use and Apple cord. Pulled one out of the drawer and it connected perfectly. Can't be happier. A little pricey but cheaper than buying a new truck. Well worth the money.

Unbelievable value over Sync 2 & 4D tech satisfaction
I was hesitant at first due to the price tag of this upgrade, but ultimately decided on keeping my 2015 F150 and decided to upgrade to Sync 3. The videos on this website, along with the installation kit and included instructions produced a great DIY experience all around. The value in this upgrade is surely worth it's weight for anyone considering the upgrade to Sync 3. I chose the non-NAV version as I want to use Car Play for everything I can and the NAV via Car Play is 10 fold better than the stock NAV that comes with Sync 2. I watched the upgrade video twice before installing this and barely had to look at the instructions that were printed. All in took 20-30 mins until I had my iPhone hooked up and everything configured.

AS ADVERTISED
I RESEARCHED THE MOVE FROM SYNC 2 TO SYNC 3 FOR A FEW MONTHS. ASKED 4D QUESTIONS AND THEY WERE PROFESSIONALLY ANSWERED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I DECIDED TO KEEP THE 2015 LARIAT FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, IT WAS AN EASY DECISION TO UPGRADE TO SYNC 3.
IT WAS FAIRLY EASY TO INSTALL (FOR A NON-MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON) AND I AM DELIGHTED WITH THE CHANGE. ALSO, I AM ABLE TO USE "WAZE" ON MY LONG INTERSTATE TRIPS.
