Thats until the sync3 module fries on you and has to be replaced . Its actually fairly common among other parts of the sync3 system going bad. If I said it was reliable I'd be lying to you. Unless your omly looking to keep the truck for a few years then trade it in for a new one. On top of that the firmware is buggy as well. Andriod carplay is actually significantly better.

Im someone who doesnt like these infotainment systems, i actually went out of my way to get a 2018 f150 which is an xlt, but doesnt have infotainment despite the trim. But i have to admit... this thing is really impressive. Dont like how you have to remove knobs and buttons though. But if i put this in my truck, itd be 2 generations of f150 more advanced than what it actually is. Really cool device. Might have to get one installed whenever i decide to sell the truck to increase its value.

I got it on Aliexpress for 600 for a 128gb 8gb ram model. 14.4" screen. the f150 model is even cheaper than the chevy version on aliexpress. Shipping was a little slow but at least i got my radio and it works great.

Thank you for this very informative video! It gave me courage to purchase and install the unit by myself. Fair warning though anyone with a manual AC there are extra steps to take when transferring over the temperature control dial. You have to set it in the middle of the temperature diagram and keep it on there. Along with the big gear on the circuit board you need to line it up with the hole on the board, then connect. Had to take apart after installing to find this out.

I'm not happy with mine. I watched this video and I ended up getting one. But as soon as I installed it I wish I hadn't. It might just be me but you need to do everything(DIY) as far as the way it operates. There is no way of turning the system off. It is supposed to remember where you left off, it doesn't. The radio would turn on on its own. When I wanted to listen to the radio it would always come on with the FM2 stations which I had never setup. I have had to reset the unit at least once every 2 weeks if not more. I've had problems with it since installation (12/23) until I took it out last week(8/24). The final reason I took it out was my APIM went bad ($300, overheated, I believe). The OEM APIM attaches to the back of the unit at the heat sink fins. I asked AutoTec Pro if I could return and possibly get 3/4 of what I paid for it back since it has never worked correctly. They said NO! Nothing about it was straight forward. This product should work correctly without having to do anything once installed. Hopefully people have better luck than I did.

I'm not happy with mine. I watched this video and I ended up getting one. But as soon as I installed it I wish I hadn't. It might just be me but you need to do everything(DIY) as far as the way it operates. There is no way of turning the system off. It is supposed to remember where you left off, it doesn't. The radio would turn on on its own. When I wanted to listen to the radio it would always come on with the FM2 stations which I had never setup. I have had to reset the unit at least once every 2 weeks if not more. I've had problems with it since installation (12/23) until I took it out last week(8/24).

Looking into getting this head unit and was wondering two things: 1) Can you optionally use wired carplay? 2) How is the audio lag using the native Android tablet apps like Plex, KZbin, etc.? There's an unavoidable lag while using wireless CarPlay, just the natural latency of wireless, but does the Android tablet apps have audio lag (audio not matching the video's like when people talk etc.)?
@DeaninItYourself
@DeaninItYourself Ай бұрын
you can use wired carplay but it will only be on the sync interface. There is no latency issue with the audio in wireless carplay.

🔥Great video! If you don’t mind, could you answer a question I have? If I currently have Sync2 (2015 f150) but want Sync3 features on the autotec unit, would I be able to buy a sync 3 module, attach it to the autotec unit fitted for sync3 and plug up? Or is the wiring totally different? If so, is there an easy way to ‘adapt’ the wiring to make it work? Thank you!

Totally awesome. Everything explained. Theonly question.. Android updates abd planned for obsolesence, meaning they stop updating the os for hardware making the hardware obsolete. Typically 3 years. Rooting is not a recommended option, but if you're selling after that point no big deal. Love the ugrade, but concerned about life cycle of unit. Any feedback is appreciated.
