that's cool

White oak Dealer in Canada is charging $800 to upgrade to 4G modem. 2016 MKZ

I already have the controls on the screen and I can switch them on and off. however the seats don't heat or vent accordingly.

Hi @rubyinla, I have MKZ 2016 I installed the upgrade kit that I bought from ebay Simply Michigan seller and I have the heat/cool seats controls showing and functioning on the screen but the seats are not heating or cooling. Do your heating/cooling seats controls work properly?

For my MKZ 2016 3.7 liter, I bought the upgrade package (SYNC 3.4) from ebay seller (Simply Michigan) and did the installation. they said that it is programmed to my VIN number. The good new is, the parking assist worked perfectly without any programming. 3 Main issues that I am having and hope someone can help: 1. The APIM was not properly programmed to my specific VIN number as my car is a Canadian model and should have the DRL turned on but the APIM that you sent doesn't have it on. 2. Another thing is that most of the times when I go to the phone submenus (Speed dials, Incoming, outgoing, history) in the Instrument cluster screen it freezes and doesn't respond anymore. I even can't find any Add to speed dials option in the Sync 3.4 screen. 3. Heating/cooling don't work for the 2 front seats. I can see the controls on the screen but nothing happen when I turn them on. Steering wheel and rear seats are properly functioning tho. I bought the OBDLINK EX along with a battery charger from Amazon and have the Forscan software ready to go. I think that I know how to fix the DRL but I have no idea about how to fix the other 2 issues that I have.

Great stuff. I ordered the upgrade kit and I already have Park assist on my 2016. can you shed some light on how to configure it so that it works with the new SYNC 3 and what extra features that I can get?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I know that there isn't an out of the box option to do this. I was hoping that it can be done with forscan or any other hack. cheers

Thanks to everyone. P.S. This is a comment and not a question ?

When my 2016 MKZ is stationary with the Handbreaks activated and if I press the gas pedal the handbreaks will disengage by itself. I was thinking if there is anyway to make the car so that handbreaks will be activated once it is stopped then this will be as if the Auto hold option is added. Long story short, is there a way to automatically activate the handbreaks when the car is stopped?

Happy new year to everyone. This is my first post on the forum and I am sure it will not be the last one. I found many listings on ebay that sell the complete upgrade kits preprogrammed for $650
