Factory Navigation Is Included
INCLUDED WITH THIS KITNavigation is included, not an extra-cost option. This kit contains a genuine OEM Ford navigation-capable SYNC 3 APIM with onboard maps covering the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Get voice-activated turn-by-turn directions without needing a phone or cellular data connection for the built-in maps. You can also use Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto whenever you prefer.

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.

works great, very responsive, and works with lincoln my way app now with a 4g modem (bought separately)
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that the upgrade is working great for your 2015 Lincoln MKZ. We take pride in providing a responsive and user-friendly experience, and we're excited that you're also able to enjoy the benefits of the Lincoln My Way app with the addition of a 4g modem.
Device works as suppose to. Huge upgrade from sync 2 to the sync 3 everything was included, install was easy and dealing with customer service was exceptional to place my order. Highly recommend. 5/5 for both the product and company itself.
The original Sync 2 system in our '16 F450 was a joke. There was no damage nor abuse to the original system and yet it would take multiple touches to the screen to get any response. This upgrade was not only easy to do on a technical level (took us about an hour), but the usability of the Sync (3) System is worlds apart from the original and is now usable (it was actually dangerous to try to interact with the original Sync 2 system while driving because of the severity of the distraction). That's all gone and we now have a touch screen that not only works, but is easier to navigate and far more reliable to use. Highly recommended.
Super easy and self explanatory installation.Screen looks way better than the previous sync 2. I haven’t had it very long, but I am looking forward to seeing how it holds up.
Package arrived on time with all details needed to install myself. Was really easy and straight forward. Money well spent.
Thanks!
