zi0n Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi all, great source forum for edges... I'm trying to upgrade my wife's Edge 2017 from the 4" display to the 8". I already know I need the Recessed Mount but I'm kind of confused with the ports behind the display. Is this the correct display for sync 3? Thanks!

omar302 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 If that date is correct, it can't be Sync 3. Sync 3 became available in 2016 model years. So the oldest manufacturing date can't be before 2015. Also, remember that you'll need the display & APIM. They are 2 different parts. I don't recall someone doing this upgrade on the Edge, but there is a thread on it on the Fusion forums. Maybe it'll help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 This video has a complete list of links you can follow. It also covers cost and installation. YMMV but it is certainly possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Maybe he’s referring to MFT (Sync 2) ver. 3.x? Either way, that is a MFT APIM only. You do need the screen as well. You can either upgrade to the newer SYNC 3 system or go with the older MFT (sync 2) system. Installation is essentially the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw 4" to 8" screen and read Omar's reply and ran with the notion that he wants SYNC 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 you might want to check Facebook Ford Edge WorldWide group (FEWW) and connect with Chris Lister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Abet expensive, there are companies who make changeover kits available. Heres one that changes from 4" to 8" screen. Add $600 if you want to add navigation. https://www.4dtech.com/15-18-ford-edge-4-to-8-touchscreen-conversion-w-sync-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mallon Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have a sync 3 APIM for sale, if anyone needs one let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chato209 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Is it compatible with a 2011 ford edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 The APIM will be compatible. You’ll still need the screen. keep in mind, if you want navigation, you’re better off with a newer APIM as it will have “more recent” maps. 2018+ APIMs will also have the 1.5gb partition which will allow you to run Sync 3.2 and higher (it has a few more bells and whistles). 2016-2017 APIMS have the 1.0gb partition and can only run Sync 3, version 1.0 - 3.0. it doesn’t make a huge difference; just creating awareness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
