Professionally Programmed for Your Vehicle
Every SYNC 3 APIM is programmed to your vehicle's VIN and factory configuration before shipping.
This allows the upgraded system to integrate properly with your vehicle and retain supported factory features such as:
-
Backup camera
-
Steering-wheel controls
-
Heated seat controls
-
Factory climate controls
-
Parking features
-
Factory audio controls
-
Other vehicle-specific SYNC functions
No additional programming is normally required. Simply install the hardware and enjoy your upgraded SYNC 3 system.
Note: Active Park Assist is not supported after the SYNC 3 conversion on certain Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ.
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Connect a compatible smartphone and bring your favorite apps directly to the factory touchscreen.
Use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for:
-
Maps and navigation
-
Music and audio apps
-
Phone calls
-
Text messaging
-
Siri or Google Assistant
-
Podcasts and compatible apps
You get modern smartphone integration without replacing the factory system with an aftermarket radio.
Genuine OEM Ford Hardware
We use genuine North American OEM Ford SYNC 3 components, not aftermarket replica APIMs or screens.
Your system maintains the factory appearance, fit and integration Ford and Lincoln designed into the vehicle.
Each kit is prepared and configured by All Things Sync specifically for your application before it leaves us.
What's Included
Your complete SYNC 2 to SYNC 3 upgrade kit includes:
1. OEM Ford SYNC 3 APIM Module
Professionally refurbished genuine OEM module, programmed to your vehicle 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. Your existing SYNC 2 mounting brackets are transferred to the replacement screen.
3. OEM APIM-to-Screen Cable
Genuine OEM connecting cable.
4. Upgraded OEM USB Hub — New
Supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
5. GPS Antenna — New
High-quality GPS antenna for proper positioning and navigation functionality.
6. USB Hub Wiring Adapter — New, if required
Connects the vehicle's existing USB wiring to the upgraded hub.
7. OEM USB Hub Bezel/Adapter — New, if required
Included for vehicles equipped with the larger original USB hub opening.
Everything required for your specific application is selected based on your vehicle configuration.
Plug & Play Installation
The kit is designed for a straightforward plug-and-play installation with no cutting or splicing of the factory wiring.
Remove the existing SYNC 2 components, transfer the required factory brackets, install the supplied SYNC 3 components and reconnect the factory-style connectors.
Because we program the APIM before shipping, you don't need to figure out complicated vehicle programming after installation.
Optional Factory Navigation
Factory navigation is available as an option when ordering.
The navigation-equipped SYNC 3 APIM uses different hardware from the non-navigation version, so factory navigation generally cannot simply be added later through a software update.
If you're undecided, we recommend considering the navigation-equipped version when purchasing your kit.
Factory navigation provides onboard maps for the United States, Canada and Mexico and can be particularly useful when traveling through areas with poor cellular coverage or where smartphone GPS reception may be limited.
You can still use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto navigation apps whenever you prefer.
Why Upgrade to SYNC 3?
SYNC 3 is a substantial improvement over the original SYNC 2 / MyFord Touch system.
You'll gain:
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Modern smartphone integration directly through your factory touchscreen.
Faster, More Responsive Interface
A cleaner interface with improved touchscreen response compared with SYNC 2.
Factory Integration
Keep the OEM appearance and supported factory vehicle controls rather than installing an aftermarket radio.
Modern SYNC Software

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.
