SYNC 4 swap for Maverick XL / XLT (non SYNC 3 systems)

[zackmd1]

Second working Sync 4 swap. Got a few more things to button up in the as built but as @propp2531 said, need to first figure out a mounting solution. I will likely be doing that Friday.



PS: Sat Radio "Antenna Problem" was due to me not having the antenna plugged in.

They are on eBay too. Even from oem sites it’s still $30

Awesome! Did you get wireless CarPlay working?

No just like you, worked before I started messing with the As Built but now does not work. I am sure it is an As Built parameter that needs to be changed. I want to get it permanently installed before I start trying to hunt it down though.

Gotcha. That’s been a frustrating one. I updated the customer connectivity line and it worked for an hour and stopped. No idea why.
I ordered the bracket for the apim. It’s pricey but I couldn’t find a good way to mount the thing and figured oem would work best for long term

Just ordered the bracket as well. Ordered from fordparts for $25. Having it sent to my local dealer so I should have it by tomorrow.

Damn I wish I knew I could do that. Mine won’t be here until next week

Managed to make brackets to mount the APIM today. Sync 4 is now permanently installed in my vehicle. Still a few things to clean up in the as built but I'd say its 99% functional as is. Now that it is installed, it will be easier to make changes without needing to remove it when I need to drive somewhere!

Sync 4 configured! Only thing I wasn't able to get functional was 911 assist since Sync 4 doesn't want to play nice with our RCM. Ill let @propp2531 replicate my results and then I will begin posting the revenant info for everyone.

It would be nice to have the touch screen the Lincoln Corsair has, it was super clear and looked 10x better then the mav.
They loaned me one when I got my bumper fixed the other day. It must have this sync 4 your talking about.

The Corsair is actually sync 3 with a Lincoln specific UI. That said, true Sync 3 and 4 have a higher quality UI with animations that make a big difference over the Maverick's Sync 2.5.

this is amazing. Finally this truck will be 100% what I hoped it would be. The speed of sync 4 and how much cleaner the display looks is worth all of the work and the price.
Great work @zackmd1!!

The look of sync 4 on this screen is a 1000 times better than what’s in there now. It’s not the screen it’s the UI that sucks

Gotcha..ok, I'm not so tech savvy, I just going off what I saw, which was steller.
Ok perhaps this sync 4 may be in the future.
