So you had the option of keeping sync but you decided to ditch it? Or was it not compatible with the new deck. I have an XLT with the standard radio and want to upgrade but keep the sync as well.

Memphis how did you keep the steering wheel control did you have to buy a PAC unit for that? I am about to pull the trigger on a new head unit the pionerr P3300BT, I'm debating whether to keep the SYNC or not, the additonal harness cost about 100 bucks if I get the HU through crutchfield.
I feel like ditching the SYNC, since honeslty it's kind of not all that it's pumped up to be. The voice recognition sucks, the ipod connect works when it wants to. I know the P3300BT has bluetooth and ipod controls, my question is what happens to the screen above the factory HU.

A metra rep told me mid summer. By the way a dash kit from a nav truck won't work. The screen cutout is a different size plus the ac controls are different. I had the same thought to wait like you did, but the glossy black grew on me and doesn't bother me at all know. Everyone that gets in the truck think it is factory. I will switch it out once the kit comes out though. I could not take the factory radio anymore!!!!!
