Built-In Factory Navigation
This kit includes a navigation-equipped OEM Ford SYNC 3 APIM, giving you built-in, voice-activated navigation without relying on your phone or cellular service.
Factory navigation includes maps for the:
- United States
- Canada
- Mexico
Built-in navigation is especially useful when traveling through areas with limited cellular coverage. And because the system also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can still use Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or other compatible smartphone navigation apps whenever you prefer.
Unlike software-only navigation modifications, this kit uses the correct navigation-capable OEM APIM hardware.
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 properly integrate 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
SYNC 3 brings modern smartphone integration directly to your factory 8-inch touchscreen.
Connect a compatible smartphone to access:
- Apple CarPlay
- Android Auto
- Apple Maps
- Google Maps
- Waze
- Music and audio apps
- Phone calls
- Text messaging
- Siri or Google Assistant
- Podcasts and other compatible apps
You get the convenience of modern smartphone integration while maintaining the factory OEM appearance and vehicle integration.
Genuine OEM Ford Hardware
We use genuine North American OEM Ford SYNC 3 components, not aftermarket replica APIMs or screens.
This allows your vehicle to retain the factory appearance, fit and integration of an original Ford or Lincoln system.

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!
