Important — Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Professionally Programmed for Your Vehicle
Every SYNC 3 APIM is programmed to your vehicle’s VIN and factory configuration before shipping, helping retain supported factory features.
No additional programming is normally required. Install the supplied hardware and enjoy SYNC 3.
Note: Active Park Assist is not supported after conversion on certain Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles.
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Connect a compatible smartphone to access Maps and navigation, music, phone calls, messaging, Siri or Google Assistant, podcasts, and compatible apps on the factory touchscreen.
The included USB hub supports wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Connect your compatible smartphone using a USB cable.
Genuine OEM Ford Hardware
We use genuine North American OEM Ford SYNC 3 components, not aftermarket replica APIMs or screens. Your system retains the factory appearance, fit, and supported integration.
What’s Included
Your complete upgrade kit is prepared for your vehicle:
1. OEM Ford SYNC 3 APIM Module
Professionally refurbished genuine OEM module, VIN-programmed and loaded with the latest applicable SYNC 3 software.
2. OEM Ford 8-Inch SYNC 3 Touchscreen
Professionally refurbished OEM screen with a new digitizer. Transfer your existing SYNC 2 mounting brackets.
3. OEM APIM-to-Screen Cable
Genuine OEM connecting cable.
4. New USB Hub
Standard USB hub for wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included.
5. New GPS Antenna
For proper positioning and navigation functionality.
6. New USB Hub Wiring Adapter, if required
Connects existing vehicle USB wiring to the upgraded hub.
7. New OEM USB Hub Bezel/Adapter, if required
For vehicles with the larger original USB hub opening.
Everything required for your specific application is selected based on your vehicle configuration.
Plug & Play Installation
Designed for straightforward plug-and-play installation without cutting or splicing factory wiring. Remove the SYNC 2 components, transfer the required brackets, install the supplied SYNC 3 components, and reconnect the factory-style connectors.
The APIM arrives programmed before shipping.
Optional Factory Navigation
Factory navigation is available when ordering. Navigation-equipped APIMs use different hardware from non-navigation units, so factory navigation generally cannot be added later by a software update.
Onboard maps cover the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto navigation apps remain available with either option.

Use compatible smartphone apps on your factory touchscreen with a wired USB connection.
Improved touchscreen responsiveness compared with SYNC 2.
Retain the OEM appearance and supported factory vehicle controls.

Pairs well with
Purchased this upgrade for my Son’s 2013 Lincoln MKS and it was worth every penny. The screen is very clear, colorful, and it made the backup camera clearer as well. I had to reuse the mounting brackets and hardware from the Sync 2 screen which worked perfectly, and the hardware fit well. Buy it!
My apim was failing on my sync 2 unit this is such a massive upgrade just the CarPlay makes it worth it for me being seemless integration with all oem systems makes it even better
Upgraded because the original Bluetooth module failed, well worth the money wife loves the new interface, the speed and touchscreen sensitivity is so much better.
This kit is completely plug and play. No modification necessary. Great upgrade over the sync 2. The navigation is much nicer than the sync2. Seamless apple carplay integration.
I have a 2017 Mustang with the Sync 3 radio so when I bought my 2015 F-150 by that point I was already spoiled with CarPlay and was devastated about my truck’s antique radio. Ordered the product and it was literally plug n play with no issues with the kit they provided. Installation only took around 30 minutes and climate control, backup camera, and steering buttons worked liked a charm. I’m highly satisfied with my Sync 3 now.
