Great upgrade package!
It was totally worth spending a few extra bucks to have all of the OE Ford parts in one box. My only criticism was that the installation video only showed the steps for an F150 without the center console. Even those the written directions described the extra steps needed, it would have been nice to see it done.

Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade
Upgraded 2014 F150 from sync 2 to sync 3. Instructions were well documented and all supplies were extremely well packaged. Excellent product and would certainly purchase again.

This is a MUST UPGRADE item if you want Android Auto
I ordered the complete upgrade, including navigation. I installed this in a 2014 F150 FX4 so I had a center console. Took a bit longer but the instructions are very complete. Take your time, watch the YouTube video, and you should not have any problems. There was never a need to apply excessive force to remove anything. While you have everything apart, take a few minutes to do some deep cleaning in those nooks and crannies. Also, make sure you use a data cable to connect to the system and not a charging only cable or you will never be prompted with the Android Auto connection on the main display or your phone. Only needed basic hand tools to complete.

Phenomenal - MSUT BUY!
This is by far the best item for a truly hands-free experience. I HATED using a dash mount clip for my phone which never worked long term. This is now bigger, better, and easier to look at while driving than my phone. With Carplay it is literally a hands free experience.
I watched the youtube video on this and it worked well.
One thing to note is that the USB location and amount of screws are different depending on your truck. My 14 has the USB in the center console and in a few places, there were more screws than on the sample F150. But, if you have half a brain, you'll find it no problem.
I LOVE THIS. Expensive, yes. Worth it? YES YES YES! -
14 raptor
Very high quality with all new oem parts instead of parting it out here and there with lower quality. It is expensive but you get what you pay for with this I believe and the warranty to back it up is nice also.

A MUST Upgrade!
Having purchased my 2014 F-150 about two months ago, the MFT system had to go. It was horribly slow and unresponsive. This kit was the solution! It was easy to install with a detailed set of instructions and installation video to support the process. I recommend adding the plastic pry tools for removing the interior panels. As for the system itself, it works just like my father's 2019 F-150! It is FANTASTIC! I love it, thanks 4dtech!

2014 Raptor Installation
I contemplated upgrading from Sync 2 to Sync 3 for about a month once I found 4Dtech. The main issue for me was the price. In the end, I decided to go forward with the upgrade, Nav and all. I’m really pleased with it. Sync 3 is a superior product to Sync 2 from hardware to software. Having CarPlay is awesome.
As far as the unit and 4Dtech goes, everything was as described.
Installation was a challenge only because the 2014 Raptor has some extra trim pieces that must be removed in order to replace the unit. I had to keep working down and through the center console, eventually even moving the console back to access trim screws. So the 20 minute installation estimate was way off. It probably took me every bit of an hour. There are also some differences in screw sizes between the Raptor and the video.
The Sync 3 unit fired up right away. All of my Sync 2 presets, setting and SiriusXM account info was there when it turned on. I didn’t expect that!
In the end, 4 out of 5 stars because of price. I’m not sure I’d tell my friends that I spent $2,000 to have CarPlay, and I probably couldn’t convince them to spend that kind of money. But it is nice to be free of the underwhelming Sync 2. -
Straight forward installation. Large improvement over Sync 2
I purchased the Sync 3 upgrade kit after the screen on my Sync 2 system froze and would not come back to life... even after complete removal and reinsertion into the dash. I agonized over the $2,000 price tag, but in the end I think it was worth it. I had been debating trading in my 2014 truck before the Sync 2 locked up. Not anymore. Now I'm planning on keeping my truck for several more years.
For those considering upgrading from Sync 2 to Sync 3, I offer this review.
1: Installation was straight forward. From first screw to last screw it took me 48 minutes. I had previously tinkered with the dash before, so I was familiar with how to take it out. That being said, when I tinkered with the dash before, I used 4Dtech's video to learn how. I followed the installation video, by putting my laptop in the passenger seat and hitting pause at each step. It made the installation simple and relatively painless. I suggest you watch the video a couple of times before you start. It helps. The longest part of the actual installation was the time I took to decide exactly where to put the GPS antennae. I think that cost me ten minutes.
2: The system literally is plug and play. The hardest part is making sure that you don't drop a screw behind the dash when you are re-assembling the dash. After an initial boot-up, the system came online with zero problems.
3: The system is a VAST improvement over Sync 2. Not only is the system more intuitive and more functional, but it is faster. The computing speed runs circles around Sync 2. Voice to text and voice activated navigation respond better as well. No more repeating myself five times to send one text.
