4.2" to 8" sync3 conversion done- few issues need help
I recently did the 4 to 8 conversion in my 2017. I used the harness from 4dtech and piecemealed all the other parts together from there. Its 97% functional but I have a few hiccups. When initially started the system it showed Version 1.0 on sync3 so I did the update to version 3.0 using the old hub before hooking up the new CarPlay hub. Maybe jumping from 1 to 3 was a no-no?? I used forscan to copy AsBuilt data from a similar truck in hopes of making it all work. But still have some bugs.
Here are the bugs:
CarPlay works but wont read text messages and I cant hear the other end of a phone call when made thru the CarPlay app (cabled connected)
Siri doesn't have a voice when I press the home button but I do get turn by turn audio directions when using CarPlay navigation
Normal sync phone calls don't work either. If I get a call on Bluetooth connection it switches to AM radio and when I answer I cant hear the caller as the radio still plays but they can hear me (so mic is working).
GPS time is stuck on Central timezone but the compass works. I live in AZ so setting the clock once manually isn't an issue but its just another small issue.
Any help is appreciated...

It's my first day
Read this. It goes with a video I made. Pay particular attention or skip directly to the last page.
