Default Problem with Sync

My truck is a 2011, I have all the buttons for sync to connect my phone and such but nothing works. Went in to talk to the dealer and they said that all the tucks have a generic dash but not all are set up for it and there is no way of setting it up if not programmed. My question is, does anyone know of a way to make this work. Thanks.

Post or pm the 17 digit vin#, I can tell you if your truck came with it or not.

Hi steve 63,

Do you have a PHONE button on both the radio and steering wheel? Let me know, and I'll assist.

FFT ..... HINT/TIP: You'll find posting in the
Late Model F150s > 2009 - 2014 Ford F150
section more helpful/appropriate than General F150 Discussion posts.

sync was not an option on my truck ( 2011 F 150 XLT XTR 4x4 super crew ) I do have the phone button on the radio and steering wheel. All the buttons are there for it. But Ford dealer says its just generic and can't be hooked up. Is there a way to hook it up. Thanks I would appreciate any help .
