In theory those with 2015 F-150 that have MFT/SYNC2 should be able to "fairly easily" upgrade to SYNC 3. This will require a screen and apim replacement at minimum. Not a cheap retrofit and it would be based totally on personal preference.
I have a 2016 Lariat with Sync 2. If i wanted to go to Sync 3 could I just replace the apim? Why would it need a new screen?

The screens are different. Both have to be replaced. No surprise that a 16 built for export has SYNC 2.
