Sync3
I can not tell the difference between this unit and the one that came factory in my 2016 Mustang. Except this one has 3.0 installed and I can not get my factory unit to take the upgrade to 3.0 in my unit that came factory form Ford. I would recommend getting all the tools suggested in the install video because it cost me an extra 1 1/2 trying to find the right torx driver other wise it would have taken me only about an 1 1/2 hours to install it. But installation was a breeze and you always have the install video to fall back to. The unit works perfect and I also find some USB cables will not work well with it unit. I would also suggest truing off your Bluetooth connect on your phone as your phone needs to be attached via USB cable. Unit is a little pricey but well worth it saved me from buying a new truck. Customer service is Amazing. So far the only problems I have had with this unit has been USER ERROR.

Great Upgrade. Works as advertised
I bought this after doing my research for about 8 months.
The kit came very professionally packaged. Very detailed instructions. I ordered it on a Friday afternoon and it shipped same day. I had it by Tuesday.
I had an installer put it in. They have the tools and experience, although it looked simple enough.
The only thing I’ll say for CarPlay users. When CarPlay is plugged in, the factory Nav is not used. It uses your phones Apple maps. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have the option to choose a default nav. This isn’t a 4Dtech issue, obviously. Just be aware.
Otherwise, it’s great. It’s faster and cleaner than MFT and all my trucks features are working.
Good product. If I had my time back I wouldn’t have purchased with Nav. -
Best upgrade yet
It’s definitely on the high side for price but it’s plug and play and literally takes 15 minutes to install! Don’t try and cut corners with non programmed ones as it won’t work I tried!

2015 F150 to Sync 3
Was super easy to install and works great. I did buy the plastic trim removal tool as it was needed to get the dash speaker out. I removed the speaker to install the GPS antenna further back in the dash. You could do this with your fingers but i felt more secure using the tool as i did not want to break the plastic trim. Now, the cost for the unit is a bit on the premium side but the one year warranty is worth the extra cost.

At the point of too easy!
I watched the video and read the instructions prior to starting... it took less than 20 mins to install
Wow, easy!
Recommended this site/product to two folks already.

So Glad I did this upgrade
I bought a used F-150 (2015), and knew that I wasn’t getting the Sync3. I finally got around to ordering the upgrade, and glad that I did. It did take me longer than the 15 minutes, but I was trying to be careful to not scratch anything. I also accounted for the time to gather up the needed tools.
After the installation, there were a few prompts to go through, and I reconnected my Bluetooth phone. After that I connected via usb, and the radio sync’d with my apps. -
Cheaper than a new truck!
The SYNC2 system in my 2015 F150 was glitchy, slow, and regularly crashed. It was getting so bad I was considering trading in the truck since the warranty on electronics was exprired. I found this online and couldn't be happier. It is flawless and every feature of my King Ranch F150 works with the new unit including the seat controls, temp, and backup camera with birds eye view. If you are considering the upgrade, just do it! Installation was about 45min and exactly like the video. CarPlay is a game changer.

Pricey but awesome
I rode with a buddy the other day who has the same XLT Sport that I do, but 2017 vs. my 2015. I immediately fell in love with his Sync 3 and the compatibility with Android Auto for Google Maps mirroring to the truck screen. As a real estate broker, I'm always navigating to properties or just to see what my commute looks like and the recommended route with traffic. I've never been a fan of onboard GPS so have always used my phone mounted where I can see it. This is a game-changer for me. I actually started looking at buying a 2017 truck because I needed this so badly. Quickly running the numbers led me to pulling the trigger on this upgrade and now I love my truck again without having to buy a new one. Installation took inside of 45 minutes for me, start to finish. I had enough slack in the cables connecting to the bezel that I did not have to unhook them which was good because I have fat fingers that struggle with all the little clips. The hardest part for me was swapping out the USB port inside the recessed tray (floor shifter). There was almost no slack in the wires for me to get my fingers back there to unhook the existing USB/SD card hub. For a second I also forgot about the included adapter cable for the USB so that caused me some unnecessary confusion. Do yourself a favor and watch the installation video a couple of times before starting the project rather than relying on the printed instructions. I've used it multiple times a day since installation without any problems so far.

Love my truck again!
I was looking to trade my 2015 F150 Platinum and realized I love the truck but HATED the Sync 2 system. After reading the review took a chance and ordered the Sync 3 update. Pleased to say everything went as planned and the new Sync 3 is Awesome. Not even on the same planet at the Sync 2. The Apple CarPlay is fantastic.
The install was overall as easy as the video indicates. The hardest part was figuring out how to take off the top 2 connectors on the front panel. The little tabs are not where you think they are. (Better close up of these in the video would be helpful!) Otherwise a piece of cake. It hurt my feelings to spend 2K on this upgrade but much cheaper than trading vehicles.
