Hi

I am seriously considering upgrading my sync 1 (4" screen) to the newer Sync 3. I have done ALOT of homework and was wondering if anyone has attempted this successfully? I have a 2018 XLS Supercab. My method would be to pull a Sync 3 system AC controls, Screen, usb hub and APIM from a wrcked xlt or wildtrak. Main question I have is regarding the wiring loom. I can either buy one from ebay ( at a premium ) or I can cut off the Sync 3 plug from the donor car and splice my own.

Does anybody have knowledge of the wiiring for the upgrade?

Easier to use loom, it is not worth doing it the other way. I have one left if interested.
