Why Upgrade from SYNC 2?
Ford's SYNC 2 / MyFord Touch system was introduced long before Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became standard.
Upgrading to SYNC 3 gives your Fiesta or Transit Connect a much more modern infotainment experience without replacing the factory system with an aftermarket radio.
You retain the OEM Ford appearance while gaining newer software, better responsiveness and modern smartphone integration.
