DaveW Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 My 2010 Edge SEL I just bought, didn't have SYNC installed. I want to be able to connect my phones to the vehicle when driving. I've been told SYNC would do that. I want to add SYNC to my unit. I bought a module from a junkyard in Texas off of eBay to begin the process. What other cables, jumpers etc... will I need to complete the install. OH and the "ask an Expert" link is a sham. I posed this question to them several days ago, paid my 5 bucks for the trial, and 3 days later I get an "I'm sorry they haven't reached out to you, do you still need help" reply from someone, Lindie-Moderator. I'm thinking....lets see, I paid you to answer a question, I ask the question, you've NOT answered it...….let me see....do I still need help with my question...... hmmmmm IDIOTS!

jmr061 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Well considering adding OEM sync is anything but plug and play, it isn't surprising you didn't get an answer. Its not even supported by Ford. The dash/audio harnesses would be completely different and that's just the beginning. It would be much easier to install a Rostra kit which would be mainly plug and play by the looks of it. Google Rostra BT kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) All I see is the C-Max, Crown Victoria, Focus, Fusion, Mustang & Taurus under Ford, 2010. Perhaps you could post a webpage where the OP can click and be directed to. Edited December 9, 2018 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveW Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) So, I have the SYNC module. Looks like I need a jumper wire, a USB wire & some instructions. Does the SYNC module attach to the aback of the radio or does it go down inside the center console?? Can anyone find me the part number for the wiring harness? I've seen the USB wire listed on eBay.

Perhaps you could post a webpage where the OP can click and be directed to. They consider it a truck. Copying their link doesn't work as its just the basic search link even with the results.

Doesn't fit your car. Only fits a 2009. Sync changed in 2010. (Click on "view compatible vehicles").

Cindy19 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Is this something I don’t need since I have a 2016 Edge sport? Mine comes with Sync built into it, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just get an aftermarket head unit? The 2010 & previous models can easily be replaced (Double DIN I think) and you get the bennefit of getting Android Auto & Car Play if required. 7 hours ago, Cindy19 said: Is this something I don’t need since I have a 2016 Edge sport?
