Unbelievable value over Sync 2 & 4D tech satisfaction
I was hesitant at first due to the price tag of this upgrade, but ultimately decided on keeping my 2015 F150 and decided to upgrade to Sync 3. The videos on this website, along with the installation kit and included instructions produced a great DIY experience all around. The value in this upgrade is surely worth it's weight for anyone considering the upgrade to Sync 3. I chose the non-NAV version as I want to use Car Play for everything I can and the NAV via Car Play is 10 fold better than the stock NAV that comes with Sync 2. I watched the upgrade video twice before installing this and barely had to look at the instructions that were printed. All in took 20-30 mins until I had my iPhone hooked up and everything configured.

AS ADVERTISED
I RESEARCHED THE MOVE FROM SYNC 2 TO SYNC 3 FOR A FEW MONTHS. ASKED 4D QUESTIONS AND THEY WERE PROFESSIONALLY ANSWERED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I DECIDED TO KEEP THE 2015 LARIAT FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, IT WAS AN EASY DECISION TO UPGRADE TO SYNC 3.
IT WAS FAIRLY EASY TO INSTALL (FOR A NON-MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON) AND I AM DELIGHTED WITH THE CHANGE. ALSO, I AM ABLE TO USE "WAZE" ON MY LONG INTERSTATE TRIPS.

Sync3
I can not tell the difference between this unit and the one that came factory in my 2016 Mustang. Except this one has 3.0 installed and I can not get my factory unit to take the upgrade to 3.0 in my unit that came factory form Ford. I would recommend getting all the tools suggested in the install video because it cost me an extra 1 1/2 trying to find the right torx driver other wise it would have taken me only about an 1 1/2 hours to install it. But installation was a breeze and you always have the install video to fall back to. The unit works perfect and I also find some USB cables will not work well with it unit. I would also suggest truing off your Bluetooth connect on your phone as your phone needs to be attached via USB cable. Unit is a little pricey but well worth it saved me from buying a new truck. Customer service is Amazing. So far the only problems I have had with this unit has been USER ERROR.

Great Upgrade. Works as advertised
I bought this after doing my research for about 8 months.
The kit came very professionally packaged. Very detailed instructions. I ordered it on a Friday afternoon and it shipped same day. I had it by Tuesday.
I had an installer put it in. They have the tools and experience, although it looked simple enough.
The only thing I’ll say for CarPlay users. When CarPlay is plugged in, the factory Nav is not used. It uses your phones Apple maps. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have the option to choose a default nav. This isn’t a 4Dtech issue, obviously. Just be aware.
Otherwise, it’s great. It’s faster and cleaner than MFT and all my trucks features are working.
Good product. If I had my time back I wouldn’t have purchased with Nav. -
Best upgrade yet
It’s definitely on the high side for price but it’s plug and play and literally takes 15 minutes to install! Don’t try and cut corners with non programmed ones as it won’t work I tried!

2015 F150 to Sync 3
Was super easy to install and works great. I did buy the plastic trim removal tool as it was needed to get the dash speaker out. I removed the speaker to install the GPS antenna further back in the dash. You could do this with your fingers but i felt more secure using the tool as i did not want to break the plastic trim. Now, the cost for the unit is a bit on the premium side but the one year warranty is worth the extra cost.

At the point of too easy!
I watched the video and read the instructions prior to starting... it took less than 20 mins to install
Wow, easy!

So Glad I did this upgrade
I bought a used F-150 (2015), and knew that I wasn’t getting the Sync3. I finally got around to ordering the upgrade, and glad that I did. It did take me longer than the 15 minutes, but I was trying to be careful to not scratch anything. I also accounted for the time to gather up the needed tools.
After the installation, there were a few prompts to go through, and I reconnected my Bluetooth phone. After that I connected via usb, and the radio sync’d with my apps. -
Cheaper than a new truck!
The SYNC2 system in my 2015 F150 was glitchy, slow, and regularly crashed. It was getting so bad I was considering trading in the truck since the warranty on electronics was exprired. I found this online and couldn't be happier. It is flawless and every feature of my King Ranch F150 works with the new unit including the seat controls, temp, and backup camera with birds eye view. If you are considering the upgrade, just do it! Installation was about 45min and exactly like the video. CarPlay is a game changer.
