SYNC versions[edit] The original SYNC system (before the introduction of MyFord Touch) is now known as "SYNC Gen1", while the new MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems are known as "Gen2". SYNC Gen1, Sept. 2007-Nov. 2012[edit] SYNC v1, which debuted September 2007, offered the ability to play certain entertainment media, the ability to connect to certain mobile phones and digital audio players and to utilize SMS.[3] In January 2008, SYNC v2 was released, which enabled two new Ford developed applications: 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report.[3] SYNC v3, released in April 2009, enabled the Traffic, Directions and Information application. Later that month, Ford Work Solutions, a collection of five applications marketed towards professionals who buy Ford trucks, was added. The applications included in the Ford Work Solution were Crew Chief, Garmin Nav, LogMeIn and Tool Link.[3][3] SYNC v4 and v5 were released in January 2010 and January 2011, respectively, and enabled the Ford developed MyFord Touch application for certain 2011 model year vehicles as well as SYNC AppLink capabilities for certain 2011 model year vehicles.[3] The latest version of SYNC was released in November 2012 by Ford and is only applicable to certain vehicles and configurations. Ford has extended the warranty for Sync on several 2011 to 2014 models to five years as a customer satisfaction matter. (Field Service Action Number: 12M02)[19] MyFord Touch[edit] SYNC 2 Main article: MyFord Touch Sync 3[edit] On December 11, 2014, Ford announced Sync 3, which will replace MyFord Touch, will have simpler features and will be powered by QNX software by BlackBerry Limited instead of Microsoft.[4] The Sync 3 name will be used for both Ford and Lincoln models, though Lincoln's will have a different theme. Over half of Ford's North American vehicles will have Sync 3 by the end of 2015 and will be expanded globally afterwards; vehicles not equipped with Sync 3 will be equipped with the original Ford Sync.[4] Ford cited issues with Microsoft's complex software dragging down its scores with Consumer Reports and other consumer magazines being a reason it switched to the BlackBerry QNX operating system.[4] Sync 2 AKA Myford touch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyFord_Touch#MyFord_Touch_availability latest software for sync 2 is ver 3.10 SYNC 3 was not rolled out to all 2016 Ford models yet, the handful of cars that will be offering this feature includes some of the most popular cars in Ford’s lineup. Initially, just the 2016 Ford Escape and 2016 Ford Fiesta will be the first vehicles to receive SYNC 3, but models like the 2016 Mustang will also offer an upgrade to the SYNC 3 system.

I will check in the morning,,. just saw your post., Mine is key state 2013 SEL heated seats,

I have a sync 3 APIM for sale, if anyone needs one let me know

2013 sel, heated leather seats,

The screen stays somewhat backlit after shutting car off, I get the ford logo on shut down. But the screen stays lit just a bit, I also do not get a startup splash screen so I assume it’s not working correctly

vankingma, can you post your current apim setting

I have a new SYNC 3 APIM non-Nav which came out of a 2018 eco sport and was setup for my 2013 Edge sel with heated seats. This is the APIM only you will need newer screen if upgrading a sync 1 or 2 system Plug and play, FORScan can change whatever setting you may need. $285.00 includes US shipping. Cash Local pickup or PayPal payment confirmed address only.

Sync 3 would bring carplay and android play, you can stream maps from smart phone. I have an sync 3 non bag APIM that I will be selling. You would need the screen as well. Sync 1&2 need a newer screen.

i take it off, they did every time the dealer ran it thought during services so i figured they saw this as an issue, because they only took it off the car/trucks like the edge and not the old style fender mounts...

would like to see more photos, daylight and close up of the install, also what lights did you use, for both the running lights and the raptor amber lights.

what aftermarket ones did you go with?

how much for the floor matts, need shipped to Maryland 21090
