I don't know anything about this company but they're offering a kit that claims you only have to swap the screen and USB hub. So I'd think the same would be true if you have a stereo from a donor car.
Me too. I've got the crappy MyTouch and I've spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to figure out how to get Android Auto. Best I could come up with was a reverse mode hack or replace the whole thing with a generic Android head unit. So I just BT my phone and use a dock.
That's why I sent that link. There's a video of them changing the head unit and USB portin an SUV. I assume the same would work if you bought a used one from another car but I'm not aware of anyone that's tried it.
I just upgraded my Sync2 to a Sync3 system 4 months ago. I purchased the complete upgrade kit from ebay via the seller called simplymichigan (428) I do not know them personally beyond buying the kit from them but the unit looked like new and everything worked great and was an easy upgrade. Only issue I had was that I had to drill 2 new holes onto the bezel mounting bracket to fit the thinner sync 3 module. Took 2 hours to install and 1 hour was just drilling and lining up the holes correctly. After the install the unit fits and functions perfectly. I am very pleased. This seller also preprograms to your VIN, verifies the unit worksand updates to latest software. Entire upgrade including the install kit with new antenna and USB console adapter was less than $750. Best ugrade I have done to my 2013 so far. Zero issues after 5 months.
yep, I had to do this as well. I bought my screen/apim off eBay and it was advertised as being for a Flex, but ended up delivering and being from a Raptor. Took a little time to line up the brackets but nothing crazy.
