Sync 2 to Sync 3 Upgrade! Install and Review on 2013 - 2016 F250 plus Wireless Apple CarPlay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- This mod is the best "convenience" mod that anyone can do to a vehicle that has Sync 2. It allows you to utilize Fords upgraded software for entertainment and use Sync 3 which is used in 2017 - 2022+ vehicles.
This install was in a 2016 F250 Lariat, and was very simple. Took about an hour and a half with recording and explaining everything. Anyone with simple tools can do this upgrade in their driveway. I have been using the Sync 3 now for a couple of months with no problems, and I can say that when driving in larger cities and using Apple or Google maps it helps a lot.
Pricing as of when I bought everything:
Non - navigation Sync 3: $650
Navigation Sync 3: $750
Ottocast U2-AIR (Amazon): $110
Sync 3 kit:

sync3upgrades@gmail.com

Ottocast U2-AIR (Amazon)

I would say the Sync 3 upgrade by itself would have a 10/10 rating, and the Ottocast would have an 8/10 as sometimes you have to unplug it and reset it, but this is not a big deal.

Do heated/cooled seats still work?
They do i ordered my sync from the same guy he has the link set up for and i just installed mine last night and everything works as it should my old sync 2 screen quit working so i couldn't use it but now i have full features
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! Sorry for the late reply - but as the other reply states yes. Every functionality works as it should
@@NRCThingsdoesn’t heated steering wheel still work?
Where did you order the whole kit from?
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! The whole kit can be found by reaching out to the guy on Facebook that I tagged or emailing him at sync3upgrades@gmail.com I can vouch for him and his customer service 100%. He is also there to answer any questions you have during the install
I know the link to buy seems sketchy, but I can confirm that it's real. I received my kit 3 days after I ordered it, installed, everything works as stated!
Can you post the link. Seems to not work for me
Thanks for your video! Greetings from Azerbaijan!
I'm considering upgrading my Sync2 to anything that could handle Android Auto with the preference of running Waze, and Sync3 is one of the options besides Tesla-style screens, which, based on my research, could be more reliable and have lots of issues.
Glad the video could help you on your decision! I have seen very many bad reviews on the Tesla style screen. I have also heard of people switching from the Sync 2 to the Tesla and then to the Sync 3 merely because of quality and the amount of glitches. I can vouch for the Sync 3 and will say that it has been great! 10/10 do recommend
Hi trying to upgrade my ford f350 (2014) is the radios coming from a company?
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub!
Mitral is running a 100% legitimate company and his customer service is great!
I want to do the same just for apple play
Yes sir, 100% worth it in my opinion
I appreciate this video so much! My screen just went out so ima upgrade it and this is the most in-depth video I’ve come across. Thanks bro! Btw I’m not to far from Cuero lmao
Glad it helped you brother! That is exactly why I post these videos. One comment like yours makes the whole process of videoing, editing, and posting worth it. If you have any questions give me a holler back in the comments. Thanks for the follow and the comment! Make sure to like the video too, every little bit helps
Does it handle SiriusXM?
Hey man thanks for the comment! Makes sure to subscribe and like the video, every little bit of support helps! To answer your question, yes. It handles AM, FM, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and regular blue tooth as sources of audio. Now that i’ve been using it for a few months I realize I should’ve made the switch sooner. Hope that helps! The guy that I mentioned in the description was a tremendous amount of help with supplying everything and answering questions also!
Hi there great video
Does yours show the inside climate temps when on the home screen or any other screen besides the climate screen?
Hi Kory, thanks for the comment! It shows climate on the home screen as well as the climate screen if I am not mistaken. It does not show it on apple car play or any other screen. That is one feature that you lose compared to the Sync 2 version
Sync 3 Kit link is no good. nice pictures
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! The link should work and take you to a profile by the name of "Mitral Shah" if not shoot him an email at sync3upgrades@gmail.com
Where did you get the Sync 3 kit??
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! The whole kit can be found by reaching out to the guy on Facebook that I tagged or emailing him at sync3upgrades@gmail.com I can vouch for him and his customer service 100%. He is also there to answer any questions you have during the install
Would this kit work for a 2012 with sync2 touch ? Would like to get CarPlay
MyFordTouch/SYNC 2 does not have Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The first SYNC system to feature CarPlay/AA is SYNC 3.
Didn't see the links
Hi Chris, thank you for the comment! I have updated the description with all of the respective links. Feel free to like the video and subscribe to the channel to help as grow and release more content. Thanks!
@@NRCThings I did all those things. Hope your channel grows quickly.
I’m considering this. I have read that you lose the use of your manual climate control knobs/buttons. Anyone know if that’s true? Thanks for the video!
No sir, that is not true. Everything is still functional! All knobs and buttons, steering wheel included, work as they did from the factory. Glad my video could help! If you do not mind like and subscribe to the channel to help us grow, every bit of support helps!
Same issue with the link. Do you have another link you’re able to post?
I just updated the description with his Facebook profile link. Shoot him a message, he is typically very responsive! Thanks for the comment by the way, make sure to give the page a like and sub!
You should show me how to upgrade a 2011 lariat to sync 3
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! Unfortunately, I do not know of a kit that allows you to do so. This is only valid for the Sync 2 going to the upgrade Sync 3. May reach out to sync3upgrades@gmail.com and ask him for some info. His name is Mitral Shah, and I can vouch for him 100%
I appreciate this video, Im looking at upgrading my Ford Fusion to sync 3 and was wondering how your system is holding up a couple months later. I also am confused why the guy you used is significantly cheaper then other companies with all things included? I trust that he does a good job just want to make sure everything is reliable and works well.
Logan, thank you for the comment! Make sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel to help us grow. The sync 3 is holding up great, and I have had no issues whatsoever. I 100% recommend going to the guy that I bought everything from. I am on a F250 page and everyone recommends him, including myself. As for why he is cheaper, I am not sure. Although - as shown in the video all of the parts are genuine Ford parts. I hope that helps!
Looks like the link for the sync3 isn’t available anymore. Any idea where to look? Thanks for such a great video, look forward to following your channel as it grows!
Thank you! Let me get with him and see what the deal is. I appreciate the support!

Your truck does not have the Rear or Forward cameras? Mine does, will they still work?
My truck has a reverse camera in it, yes. As far as a front facing camera I was not aware these came with one so I am not 100% sure to be honest. The reverse camera does work correctly. Does yours currently have a Sync 2? Thanks for the comment by the way! Make sure to subscribe to the channel to help us grow
@@NRCThings Hey, quick response, Thanks. I have SYNC2 with factory rear camera, 4 years ago added a front camera (at a shop), they both work great with the SYNC 2 factory setup. This week I will install the SYNC3 per your video, but did not see you connecting the rear camera...?! Great video!!
