burkely001 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago So, I've been considering for time now doing the sync 2 to 3 conversion kit from one of the more known/smaller resellers from some of the forums. But today I was browsing through Youtube, laughing at the level of stupidity in some people, when I landed on a video "easy sync 2 to 3". This product is from CARABC and it's essentially a board that sits behind the screen. You anchor the board down and jump the headunit with a special pin (or something similar) and an included ribbon cable. This product ends up allowing you to take over the sync 2 system with two presses of 1 button and then replaces it with either android auto or apple auto. It actually looks like a flawless setup to me, however, it's the first I've come across it. I'm really wondering if anyone has any experience with product at all or knowns more about it. I'm very interested, as my 2013 Edge SEL has just rolled over 100,000 km's, is pretty well in mint condition and I don't see myself getting rid of the vehicle anytime in the nearish future. So sync 2, absolutely needs to go! Hopefully some traffic comes through the forum and some people drop a comment. If you do, I'd like to thank you for any info you can potentially provide! Hope everyone is well, warm and having a great New Year! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkely001 Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I'm so sorry, I didn't even consider it. I was in a rush on my way out of the office to go home. But this is the module here, seens like a great idea tbh! https://carabc.cn/collections/other-products/products/ford-sync2-wireless-carplay-androidauto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was genius! Not only that but cheaper than the sync 3 upgrade and having to rip apart the center cosole, etc! Would love to hear from a couple guys who have given it a try and what their experience was though! Oh, also there seems to be a ton of "copycat's" flooding the market now, the more I look at this product. Aliexpress is just loaded with various boards and modules.

redden18 Posted 4 minutes ago Report Share Posted 4 minutes ago Seems to be similar to the solution which allowed video while in motion on SYNC 2 (quite expensive), the only thing is that for CAD 319 at the moment there are too many negative responses... well, at least on that YouTube video link. For myself, I bought SYNC 3 upgrade kit for my Explorer '12 about 3 years ago for around CAD 600 programmed to the VIN and never regretted. Plus I bought wireless AA dongle and enjoy wireless Android Auto as well. The most important thing it is working all the time with no issues! Sooo... do your homework, weigh all pros and cons and make your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
