DtVder Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Has anyone heard of or have put a Sync 3 In a first generation Ford Edge. Or know if it can be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yes but you need all new parts (around $2K) and a dealer willing to load the software. Someone was advertising a turnkey solution for $2K but I don't know if it was on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DtVder Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Primarily the Ford Sync 3 touch monitor and Sync module. If someone bought a totaled/wrecked car that had it. Would it be a direct fit in a first gen Edge? Besides dealing with software programming/upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 With enough resources & time, it should be possible. But it would probably (actually, definitely) not cost effective. Especially for the 1st generation (2007-2010). If it was a simple add on or replacement, Ford would have added it to the 2016 Explorer refresh.

akirby Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sorry I didn't catch the first gen comment. That would be very difficult as it integrates with the climate control and other vehicle features that a non-MFT vehicle probably doesn't have.

DtVder Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I do apologize, I have a 2013 Ford Edge Sport. That does have the MFT in it. I assumed that it was still a first gen til 2014 model. Please correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Depends on whether you're talking about the platform or sync/MFT. In 2011 they added MFT and other features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondesj Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was told by a dealer that is it possible and there is someone on the Ford Taurus forum that was able to swap the new Sync 3 system into a vehicle that had MFT. The screen module is a faster capacitive touch screen, and the sync chip is newer. Not only that, but the vehicle would have to be programmed to work with the current setup of the vehicle buttons to interact with the dash, etc. I am sure dealers would charge quite a bit to do this, but have not had any quotes. I had spoke with a dealer that was supposed to get back to me on hardware costs of the Sync 3 system but have not heard back from him in a while.

Waldo Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 It would cost about $2000. It is not worth $2000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Halstead Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 better and cheaper to just install an aftermarket radio. Even one droid based that can hook up to a hotspot with screen mirroring...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
