Hey all,
Hope this is the right forum for this question. I have a '15 F150. Im not sure what version of sync i have. I believe its just the sync with Ford MyTouch. anyway, what would be the least expensive way to upgrade to the SYNC3? can i just get the module and replace that, or do I need something else besides that? is there a place to get them cheap? everywhere i look, they are around 1.5K..
Thanks in advance.

Just thought I'd say that I upgraded my 2015 Sync (my touch/Sync2) with the purchase of the Sync3 unit and required accessories from TexasFording. Everything went and works perfectly. Could not have been easier and considerably less $ than the dealer or whatever way you're thinking of going. For you guys wondering, TexasFording is the Man.

Since there is a thread open. My understanding is that 2016 comes with SYNC3, and all I need to do is upgrade it via software, and possibly the USB module for CarPlay. Do I understand correctly?

2016s already ship with sync 3, correct. Depending on the build date you may need the usb hub and also a software update to sync 3, currently sitting at 3.0 (which includes carplay/AA and some fixes)
