You can do this yourself by getting the VIN and determining what options it came with.

If the unit comes with a USB with a SD card, it's not Sync 3.

I went to the dealer and they told it is Sync 3 second generation, will this fit for the upgrade conversion.

Sync 2/MFT and Sync 3 both work, so I'm not sure what you are asking?

There is no part number, any GPS antenna with a blue fakra connector will work. They can be had all day long for $10 on Amazon, eBay, etc.

Hi in post #297 you have posted that Sync 3 has its own GPS antenna?
Is this where the blue fakra connector takes place.
Thank you
