Sync 4 8” XLT installed! P&P kit for the win!

No windows based computer, Apple. I have very seriously considered this upgrade, but there is this nagging concern that it is pnp with a caveat.

What kind of Mac do you have? I have a MacBook Pro as well, but I dual booted mine to run windows on a small partition so that I could use forscan

Sadly, no. But you can run an emulation through parallels. It would be plenty powerful enough for it.

8” kit uses original display, but looks better. 12” kit includes new display and bracket.

I just installed the 12" kit yesterday. works great. Sam @ Oemplus was awesome!

Could you post your pictures of the install if you took any?

I have that same model and it's the greatest computer I've ever owned.

If it were me, I'd try to find a family member or someone who has got an old Windows laptop they don't want. Intel chip version and graphics power are really unimportant since Forscan is not a processor-intensive app. Luckily my son had an old gaming laptop laying around, and we have dedicated that as the sacrificial Forscan machine.

There is obviously a lot of stuff beyond the infotainment you could tweak and manage with Forscan; if you could make the value proposition work out for you, you could also look at pawn shops or Goodwill to see how cheap of a used machine you could find...

I'll check around to see if someone has an old PC laying around I can use.

this is the BASE XL/XLT (aka sync 2.5) to Sync 4 kit. it comes with the display, APIM, ACM, wire harness and GPS extension cable. it's plug and play. the only thing I had to do was use Forscan to enable the ambient lighting in the APIM.
