Power up the truck and take a few different pics. I’d like to see how it looks in the Gen1 dash. Thanks!

Here you go. I still have the screen protector on from shipping so don't mind that in the pics. Dash wise it looks the same as the old screen.

Spent a couple hours driving around yesterday. GPS seemed to sync itself once I drove around.

Now, the only thing I noticed- only the volume up/down buttons on the right of steering wheel work. Back/Forward or media buttons dont. Will look into it but not a big deal to me...

Thanks man. I use those steering wheel buttons often, that’s too bad... also gonna miss the SVT Raptor logo at start up... looks like its just the Ford logo. Overall looks clean and modern!

I was able to update the boot screen to the raptor one easy enough.

No luck on the right steering wheel controls though, only volume. The settings match my as built, might be out of luck there. If anyone has any advice let me know - @jgwoody @TrevsRaptor do y'all's work?

No issues with the shipping from China or anything of lower quality?
Shipping was fine got here in under a week, packaging was good.

Initial quality seems good but these are all definetly 'cloned' parts even down to the elm/obd2 usb cable, forscan says so. The sticker on the APIM has model from a 2017 but a mfg date of 2019 to look legit from my understanding.

Not sure if anyone on the forums has a long term review of these kits.

***11/17/2020 Update***
  • Voice prompts during nav not working?
  • Right steering wheel media buttons not working (volume only)
  • Clock not updating - initially correct during key-on but never increments
Updating from build 19200 to 20196 (latest stable release from Cyanlabs Syn3 updater) to see if anything changes. Fingers crossed.

does anyone that switched to sync 3 have their front camera working? I read most people say it doesn't, but somewhere in my research before buying I saw people claim it works. I have had no such luck making it work

My understanding is there is a convaluted way to make the front camera turn on but it only works to 5 mph. I wish someone would figure out how to make it work as intended even if it meant using gen2 cameras.

Yup, every single option including front camera works with my sync 3.4 system. All wheel controls etc.

such a great upgrade to do.
