    Easy Add-On Nav for 2016 F150 XLT

    Posted by Steve on Apr 16th 2017

    Ford refused to upgrade my Sync 3 to include Navigation... but 4D Tech makes it easy. Shipping was quick (just a few days) and install was just as easy as they said. I am not exactly mechanically inclined and the install took me about 15 minutes. System looks like it came from the factory.

    Great upgrade!

    Posted by GScott on Apr 8th 2017

    This worked. It is the Ford Nav system. And it works as if it was factory installed. I have a 2016 F-150 with Sync 3 but without the Nav system. Realized I wanted the Nav and ordered it through these folks. I installed as instructed. BUT .... the plugs are tricky. They have little disconnect tricks that aren't covered in the instructions. The two on the "Radio Bezel" have a little plastic lever that needs to be un-clicked to disconnect. Use a tine straight edged screw driver. Look for that on the antenna connection and the USB connection. The last connection is also tricky, but I can't explain it in this format. Just fiddle with the thing and it will disconnect. Once all is disconnected, then it goes back together easy-peasy.

    Awesome Upgrade

    Posted by Julio Suarez on Mar 13th 2017

    Switched out the non-Nav Sync 3 module with the OEM Sync 3 Nav module on my 2016 F-150 XLT. Also added Apple Car Play by switching out the USB module. The installation was pretty easy & fast. I think just about anybody could do it. The modules were shipped pretty fast. I took advantage of the prepaid label to send the old module back for a credit. I highly recommend this upgrade. The Ford navigation works pretty good, and Apple Car Play is great. You can elect to use Apple Maps for navigation and any incoming texts are read out loud by Siri. Thanks 4D Tech!

    Works great!

    The upgrade works exactly as advertised. Easy install although removing the connectors requires some patience. Instructions provided in the box are somewhat superficial but there is a YouTube video that gives a better step through of the installation.

    Only way to get factory nav

    Posted by Jim on Aug 26th 2016

    Fifteen minute install (take a look at the YouTube installation video for good info). Adds nav that looks/is exactly like the factory version. At first power up the screen was in night mode and the time was displaying --:--. Upon restart everything was normal, time showing correctly and daytime mode displayed. Did not wipe my pre-sets for AM/FM or Sirius, had to reconnect my cell for bluetooth but other than that the system worked like it should right out of the box. Is what it says it is, does what it says it does.
