Based on sketchy results for this thing, and not many samples, I decided just to get one XM portable subscription with XM all access, and use my phone/cell bandwidth for XM. This will be done in a couple of months, when my 1 year discount XM subs run out.

I'm late to the game here but I just got the Naviks $100 USB adapter for my Sync3 King Ranch. The pics I had seen on the Naviks web page were of a one piece unit with the USB plug built into the body of the device. When I opened my package I had a device body with a short (2-3"?) cable to the USB plug. My first thought was "I've been scammed." But when I plugged it into my truck the thing works perfectly. It shows up in my sources as a USB device but it's not labeled "AUX" like they indicate - just the USB icon. I have no problem with this at all because it was such an easy solution. My plan is to use an XM module I can swap between vehicles instead of having to pay for multiple devices. I also find the Bluetooth connection between my phone and truck to be very finicky and I only want to be able to play iHeart Radio from my phone. It will work via the Bluetooth connection but it is always dropping the connection or I have to make multiple attempt for an initial connection. I mostly listen to talk programs so I'm not concerned about the sound quality of music. This will solve my problem. I found the Naviks here in this thread so THANKS! It does work.

Hello everyone!
I found this forum in August 2020 via a Google search and it led me to the purchase of the "Ford Sync 3 USB to 3.5MM Aux Adapter" available from Naviks.
https://naviks.com/i-24076199-ford-s...x-adapter.html
I can verify that the unit works with the Sync system in my 2020 Ford Fusion. It's pricey at $100 but it works.
I'm using it with my XM Radio XPressR portable unit. I purchased a lifetime subscription on the unit back in 2009 so it was worth the $100 investment to keep that little radio going.
