Yeah, mine wouldn't ever update over WIFI so I needed a VIN to get the official ver.3.0 from Ford

Donor VIN is also needed if ordering map updates for a Nav unit.

I got a harness from someone a few years ago. I pulled the harness and 8" screen before selling the truck. I now would like to install it onto my new truck. Problem is I lost a piece of the harness. It was for the back up camera and went from an rca to a small connector. Does anyone know what connector i need to build my own rca to ___ adapter?

You can pull a VIN off of any truck on AutoTrader or use VINs from totaled trucks. One reason I like my Hextalls harness is they gave me the updates. He said they will always provide them.

Default Oem sync3 usb cable

Does anybody have the oem # for the mini usb cable that goes from the Apim to the usb sync3 hub? Mini to mini. The one I found in this thread is for a mini usb b to a usb female.

update: The oem usb mini to mini is # fl3z-14d202-a.

For what swap? The 4.2" isnt compatible with anything other than the 4.2" system.

i am posting a screenshot of another thread found on this forum for a 4-to-8 screen conversion, and according to member name @Jungles82 the 4inch apim is the same part number as the 8`` non-nav sync3 apim. Maybe I am misunderstanding something?

Wrong. Although they look the same, they're not. If you plug a 4.2" apim on an 8" display, you're getting a 4.2" image. If you want sync 3 nav, you need the whole kit.
