Did a video on my problems with the fine folks at Fordsync4 and their customer service and products. They have offered me $$$ to take the video down here's a quote -

Hello David,

Sorry about the late reply.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our service, we did pre-program the module based on the F150 data, if you need programming service our technicians can provide you with remote programming service, but your video will have a great impact on our website, Can we negotiate how we can take down this video?
Sorry again.

I knew I had to run away when I tried to call their support number and it went to a busy signal. Good info for those who don’t know! Now if someone would make a p&p sync 3 kit for XLT’s!

Nothing worse than poor product support or customer service. Especially when spending a good chunk of change on a product.

I knew it was going down hill hahaha we started at 1999.00 then they offered 500.00 off for Maverick Truck Club Members then after buying and not getting any answers I told them I was cancelling and calling my bank. They begged me to not cancel and they would give me 200.00 more off and I said 300 and finally they refunded 300 so I had 1200.00 total in it. Ill sell the kit and or parts - yes some lost money but not near as much as the 2K price lol .

Oh for sure I have the builds ( config data ) Im testing from multiple sources. This APIM is a 12" Ford F150 and cannot do a 13.2 escape screen. The 2023 APIM made for the 13.2" screen can do a 12" screen However.

You're doing God's work David. :beer:
Thank you - now they are trying to pay me to take the video down !!!!! 8 Days after I emailed them telling them it wasn't programmed correctly and I need the data to do it myself.

I believe someone made a DIY on how to do it, including how to make the harness. But, I think he was a doctor or something and it seemed difficult to do. If I had the time, I'd figure it out and make 20 or 40 of them and sell them here. Somebody should!

Im going to have a video on how to do the harness - it really isn't that hard once I figured it out. Billzilla15 gave a great amount of info but sometimes a video is easier to follow.

Good luck with it.
I bought all the parts separately. I'll have them all by December.
The black plastic that the Chinese sent you is to cover the excess space. It is the only thing that cannot be bought separately.
