sync 3

The Sync 2 screen on my 2013 Explorer XLT went dead, so I upgraded it to Sync 3 using the Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade kit. The new system works perfect, it supports CarPlay, etc. However, it tries to show the rear camera view when I put the vehicle in R gear. This makes me want to add a rear...

I’ve recently done the SYNC 3 swap in my wife’s 2015 Explorer XLT. She started having an issue where it wouldn’t start up - entirely black, no usb power and no voice control. I was able to track it down to happening after a long drive. As if the system was overheating... I opened it up...

I have been searching to find my problem already, but seems that no one ever posts if or how they have resolved it. I have a 2020 Explorer XLT. Everything was good 5 days ago, but 4 days ago my Sync all but died and still hasn't come back. It appears that everything is good on the screen...

Hey guys, Apologies if this was posted before, the forum search showed nothing that helps. I have a 2017 Explorer, base trim with the 4-inch sync 1 system. I'm intending on upgrading it to sync 3 very soon. I've tracked all the parts down and all's going well. However, the local scrapyards...

Anybody with access to Motorcraft Service/Ford Service Info willing to share the SYNC3 - Removal and Installation - Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Module information? Trying to confirm location of TCU so can finally fully disable the vehicle's modem. I've attached a pic of the the same info found...

I have a 2012 Ford Explorer. How hard is it to modify the brackets so you can use a flat screen vs a recessed one. Upgrading from Sync 2 to 3. I just want to know what level of difficulty it is before I spend the $$ on all the parts. Thanks!

Yes I tried searching, but got 4,000+ threads, and the first 15 or so didn't really help me. I'm not sure what else to try, or if anyone else has a similar issue. The Ex is a 2018 Limited with Nav. I've only had it 2 months, but it has 45k miles so no warranty, thus a trip to the dealership...

I have a 2014 Explorer that I am doing a Sync 3 upgrade on. I purchased a square/flat sided screen despite knowing that I have a recessed screen in my Explorer (hey, it was a great deal). I've seen people modify the brackets to make it work but when I looked back on it that was in an F150. So...

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited, running latest Sync 3 software. The GPS and Radio for AM and FM just stopped working one morning. None of the stations can be found, just static. Android auto works. I tried several master resets without any luck. This model has a stock fin antenna on the...

So I found out about the Sync 3 from a friend with a 2017 F-150. I did research and found I could upgrade my 2015 Explorer Sport w/ Sync 2. I've purchased a Sync 3 screen from a 2018 Flex (GB5T-18B955-SC), plus the other parts (usb hub, GPS antenna, ODB2 MS/HS, the correct wiring adapter, pry...

Hi All What's the latest version of SYNC 3...? the available version on my XLT 2017 is 2.0 but it doesn't support external navigation applications like Sygic which requires higher version

Just received my 2017 Limited with the sync 3 system. I don't like the phone portion In the lower right corner of the home screen. Is there any way to disable or hide that?
