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 standard kit supports wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Choose the optional wireless hub upgrade when ordering if you prefer wireless connectivity.
Make Your SYNC 3 Upgrade Wireless
Skip plugging in your phone every drive. Select the optional wireless USB hub when configuring your SYNC 2 → SYNC 3 kit.
Included: Standard USB Hub
Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Connect your phone with a compatible USB cable.
Upgrade: Wireless USB Hub
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus up to 30W USB-C charging when you choose to plug in.
How to order: Choose the wireless USB hub upgrade from the product options before adding your kit to the cart. The upgraded hub replaces the standard hub included with your kit.
Wireless functionality requires the included SYNC 3 system to run SYNC 3.4 and a compatible installation. The wireless upgrade is optional and is not included in the base kit price. Wireless connectivity does not add FordPass or other connected-vehicle features.
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 wired Apple CarPlay / Android Auto hub included. If selected at checkout, the optional +$100 wireless hub replaces it.
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.
Why Upgrade to SYNC 3?
Smartphone apps on your factory touchscreen; wired standard, wireless optional.
Improved touchscreen responsiveness compared with SYNC 2.
Retain the OEM appearance and supported factory vehicle controls.
APIM arrives with the latest applicable SYNC 3 software.
Choose onboard maps in addition to smartphone navigation.
