Thanks!

Joe Possibly interested. Could you send me pictures of both setups? I ideally would like to go with the Sync3, but if the Sync 2 has everything needed, that may work better for me! Any chance you had any harnesses? Thanks

Not all hope is lost. After alot of searching I have seen one or two members say that they were able to make the swap, just need to add some wiring, and enable some items in Forscan. I was just hoping for some clarification, and a few pics to help out to ensure I have the right plans.

The issue is trying to upgrade without the existing SYNC. The conversion from Sync 2 to 3, and even the basic 4" SYNC1 to 8" is straight forward. Without the existing SYNC, the aftermarket Tesla style is not compatible, and the dash kit to swap in a double din are only for 2011-15. I guess...

Joe, I am possibly interested in the Sync 3 setup (less the screen, and I would have no use for it) I am still trying to figure out the details of adding the setup in my 2018 PIU, since it did not come with SYNC from the factory. Do you have pictures you could post or send me?

I appreciate the link! That's a good price, I will be curious how the fit is. I found a full 3 piece carpet out of a wrecked one on Ebay, but I missed out on it for $175.. I was able to find the spare tire well carpet, cover, and trim at a local junkyard for $30 so at least that section is done.

I will definitely be following your thread to get some ideas for my PIU. Curious where you got your carpet from? I have been looking at adding carpet to my PIU now that I swapped seats, and there is nothing back there.. Also will be curious with your wiring for the console, as I would like...

Any chance you were able to get some pics? I'm starting to put together my parts list, and am hoping to get it mostly functioning on the first go around. Thanks!

That is correct, you need to remove the 60 MPH rear impact brace. The 3rd Row seat bolts in where the brace would go.

Have any pics by chance? I have been looking for other models to get a dome light out of that would fill the hole and not look out of place.

If you could post how you did your connections? I am looking for ideas to keep it simple, but did get not the dash side of the main harness to splice into.

Yeah, I bought my PIU with the assumption that it was standard. I didn't realize what a hassle trying to upgrade would have been! I appreciate it!!

That kit only works if you have SYNC to begin with. Most of us with PIU's do not have factory SYNC, which really limits anything that we can do to upgrade.

I appreciate all the info, and any pictures you had to me along the way would be a huge help! (don't worry about rushing to get them, I have plenty of time, as I have just started looking into picking up all the pieces) and I will try to find myself a factory wiring diagram. I do have a few...

Thanks for the reply, that really doesn't sound too bad. Any chance you had a wiring diagram, or color coding? Also would you have a pic of the plug below the keyhole that the wiring need to be pinned too? When you say ACU, is that the Audio Control Module (I think I was looking at it as ACM...

Not sure if this will help you at all, but I took a few pics before I swapped my console out. This was the Jotto Desk that was in my PIU. Its not the best pic, but you can see under the console there is a pretty heavy duty black plate that bolts to the floor that covers all the wiring. In...

After just completing the swap of the second row and third in my 18 PIU, it can be done and is pretty straight forward. You will need to be sure you get the seatbelts with hardware for the third row and tap the bolt holes as they are not threaded Remove the interior quarter trim, pull the rear...

Any chance you had some more details on how you were able to get it working? It seems everyone is pointing towards it can't be done without major work including a full new dash harness, and a license from Microsoft/Ford which is tied to the VIN. Also I noticed your signature shows you have...

I have only put a few hundred miles on my PIU so far, and currently have the interior half apart (swapped in a civilian console, just need to figure out the wiring, and swapped the second row and added a third row) I normally drive a 2018 Wrangler 4 Dr so this drives smoother to me, corners...

Welcome! I was in the same boat, on a strict budget and I really like the 3.7 power the added HD features. I picked up a 2018 PIU that only had 33k on it for cheap, unfortunately it was previously wrecked and the repair job was not the greatest, but still a good deal to me. One big regret...

You started with the 4" with Sync, correct? The issue I am having is my PIU does not have Sync to be able to make the standard 4" to 8" conversion. I was hoping someone else with a PIU (as it appears there are quite a few out there) has been able to make something work.

Thanks that is helpful to see what would be there with the Sync system. I really wish there was an easier option to add Sync or any aftermarket headunit...

I know any of the 8" screens have the AIPM mounted with the screen, but do the 4" Sync still have a AIPM? I can't seem to find much online..

A little update, I found a full console online for $140 shipped with the brackets. I pulled the shifter out and zip-tied the leather boot for now. Unfortunately the lid has a little cut in it, that the seller did not mention, and they are pretty expensive to replace, so I am hoping to work...

Well just for kicks I pulled the existing unit to see what the wiring looked like.. Anyone with the 4" Sync, could you post your wiring? There really isn't much there, assuming it runs to the ACM (I think its called) and not sure what the difference is there from the Sync vs no Sync...
