I'm so glad I came across your channel. I was prepared to pay $1,700 for a lesser screen with professional installation. I can do this myself, retain sync 3 for $1,100! You're the man. Earned my sub and like.

[@DeaninItYourself]

Glad I could help!

[@JoshSmith-wo7zw]

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.

Just installed on a F600 using this video as my only instructions. Works great with Android Auto. As someone mentioned earlier, if you have manual HVAC, make sure the you keep the little gears aligned or you'll either lose your Max AC or Mac Defrost setting. I had to do it twice to fix that.

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.

The main problem with most larger Ford vehicles large screen tends to block something important. If you go larger than 10" you either block your air vents or air/dash board controls.

You.can actually unlock climate controls through the radio if you use forscan and go into the BCM and enable it. All you have to do is turn it on.

I already have USBs and like my stock location better. Any additional perspective or color on this is appreciated.

@DeaninItYourself I noticed when you removed the sync display module from the dash there was one plugin for the factory usb. But then when you mounted the sync module to the back of the tesla screen there was two plugins one for the factory usb and another and it was a completely different module from the one you removed. I'm sure its nothing but. Could you please explain? Thanks. I just bought one for my 2018 F150 with sync 3, 8 inch screen and auto climate control and it arrived yesterday Dec 18th 2023, Christmas present from wife. :) I will probably install it on Christmas day and im educating myself on the install watching your video. Fantastic install video by the way. Much better than the one autotecpro has, as you explain all the connections.

[@DeaninItYourself]

the removal video was from an removal i did on a different vehicle, because the footage from my vehicle got erased mistakenly, thats why it only had 1 usb port, the important thing is just to connect the usb from the port you removed it from on your model.
