Just a heads up to anyone installing this. If you follow the directions it’s going to tell you to get the sound from your CarPlay to select AV Input on your sync stereo. In my case the audio quality on AV was horrible. All you need to do is go to the setup screen then system. Turn on Use Cars BT Channel, and now the CarPlay audio will play through your phones regular BT connection to SYNC.
Great tip I played with the audio levels in settings and got the line in sound dialed in The biggest problem is the dual equalizer. You need to switch one of the two to flat profile.
Hi, any chance you talk me through this . I have mine installed but couldn't connect the aux in as my sync 2 for whatever reason is not equipped with one so at the minute I'm not getting any sound through when using AA . Where do you find a setting to tell the unit to use cars BT instead of line in / aux in ? Many thanks!

The main reason I am choosing the sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade over this is the card integration and it’s less then 100$ more. If this was like 200 under I would probably consider it
I bet I have watched this video at least 15 times now in preparation of getting my device. Ordered my device today and will be here early next week! Also used your code for the 15% off. THANK YOU!!
@@filipeat_work6350 I'm happy with it. Sometimes it can get "confused" whether to connect to BT audio or CP audio, but it's easy to work through. Considering the unit was just over $200 (new), but even a used Sync3 adapter conversion is about $800. I can deal with the inconvenience of the audio selection.
Thank you for letting us know because I didn't want to upgrade to sync 3 or go to an aftermarket stereo, I didn't know they had anything like this, I have order mine today and it should be here by the weekend, and I definitely didn't want to add a device on my dashboard, so thank you very much
If you are streaming spotify or using the navigation in android auto and switch back to the factory sync 2 system to turn on the heated steering wheel or something like that does it cut the music or your navigation? Or could you still hear it playing while in the factory sync 2. Also I was curious if you found a setting to get it to start in android auto automatically like you had mentioned in your video. And thank you for the vid it was very helpful.

Hi,I install the same autoabcmodule..bt after installation my main touch screen isn’t working..but when I switch to CarPlay setting,my touchscreen is working..any fix to this problem?

Is there any way this device could be draining battery? Used this video to install in my daughter’s 2014 Fprd Escape and battery was drained when I was done. Charged battery and car started yesterday but this morning it’s dead again. It’s a used car could be weak battery guy seems weird we would only have this issue after installing this
Best way to diagnose is to have an a meter on the battery and pull radio fuse to see if current drain drops. Short answer is this should not cause any higher battery draw as its connected through the factory radio circuit. Cheap man's test would be to pull the radio fuse and wait a day, see if battery dies anyway.

Does the heated steering wheel still work? I can't seem to find info on it besides that the steering wheel controls still work. Can i also control the footwell and accesnt lights in the truck and all the other stuff? Actually, looks like this is just a piggyback on the existing system. Probably the best way to do it. The holding right just switches the video input it seems. I like this method because it means I get to use the original software that I know is stable and have additional functionality
@@GearsAndTechyep thanks, i ended up purchasing one, just got it the other day. Best of both worlds and i dont have to deal with blinding sync 3 white theme at night
I have the exact same car model as you and I installed following your directions and can’t get it to switch to the CarPlay? I opened the system back up and made sure all the ribbons are connected properly. Please help.
hold the right skip button on the steering wheel to toggle back and forth. They have great tech support as well, so you can always reach out to them directly.
Ive installed this junk 3 times on my edge 2014. Support is bs. Never gets power to my screen. Reinstall original always works. I've modified the daughter board, made sure contact is made, used 3 screws and still no screen. Thanks for any help.
@@GearsAndTech oh, one more question, is there a way to listen fm radio and android auto/carplay at the same time (so I can hear navigation commands while listening radio ) or is there a need to manually change the sound source?
This is cheaper than converting to Sync 3, but then you're stuck with the s l o w Sync 2 system. I'm doing the Sync 3 conversion on my Focus as soon as all the parts arrive. My nephew gets my old unit for his non-navigation Sync 2 Focus. (Mine has nav.)
Why carabc wouldnt send you a free one just blows my mind. Seriously because of your video I purchased one and waiting for shipment. Ive been looking for this work around for years now.
