    Conversion for inch screen to an 8 inch screen sink 3

    Posted by Daniel Phare on Jul 22nd 2023

    I purchased the conversion kit from a sync 2 - 4 inch screen to a sync 3- 8inch screen, insulation was pretty easy following the YouTube video, works great, and I absolutely love it. The only drawback is it’s very expensive and it does not come with a back up camera conversion wire., also my steering wheel controls are not working, and the temperature gauge on the new screen shows 32 when it’s 85° outside. Had to purchase a back up camera wiring kit with a can opener for an extra $170..00.
    I wish they would have let me know that I did not get the back up camera conversion kit with the initial order

    Overall, very satisfied with the new screen.
