    I didn’t order the whole sync 3 system from Navi because I got a screen from a totaled vehicle, I had to order the adapter and I will say these guys had the best quality and amazing ship time I will recommend Navi to anyone trying to switch from sync 2- sync 3

    CarPlay doesn't work over Bluetooth in any vehicle. Cars with wireless CarPlay feature high bandwidth wifi that allows for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. This is only available in Sync 4 vehicles, though you can add it to any sync 3 system using a simple dongle plugged into the USB hub.

    Thanks for the video.I just upgraded my Mustang from a sync 2 to sync 3 with navigation. The compass on the dash and on the display is not pointing correctly all of the time and my location is not correct on the map. The compass will be saying Im driving East when I driving West but the North/South will be correct or vice versa and the map will be correct showing me on the highway then all of a sudden I am off of it running along side of it or going in the opposite direction and then it corrects itself. I have replaced the antenna that came with the upgrade, done a master reset several times and done the figure eight recalibration someone suggested. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

    Unfortunately it requires a whole hardware swap as Sync 3 is set up differently and uses all different hardware. The display on Sync 2 connects with pins on the back of the display and APIM whereas Sync 3 uses a LVDS cable. Sync 3 is also capacitive vs resistive on Sync 2 (think of what touchscreen phones were like before the iPhone - that's Sync 2, the iPhone would be Sync 3). Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Some stupid questions: what is synch 2 and 3 and what's the difference. I have a 2017 GT here in Europe. I would like to upgrade the infotainment. At the moment I can run AndroidAuto, but only via a cable. I find the Bluetooth music streaming doesn't produce the same found quality as the CD player. I have something called "SHAKER" I suppose this is some sort of sub-bass? It's difficult getting some basic info about what's installed and what options are available.

    Biggest difference is ability to do carplay and android auto. Since you have android auto you have sync 3. The shaker system is a sound system with a small subwoofer in the trunk usually. You can get a wireless adapter to run carplay/android auto without a cable.

    Hey there Cristian! You can totally get away with non-navigation and just use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto! Most of the time folks who buy the navigation version live in the middle of nowhere and have poor cell reception, thus having built-in maps as the very least, a backup is helpful for them. Even if you plan on going off the grid someplace, it's super easy to download maps ahead of time using Google Maps if you need.
