BigSav 01 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I have a 2016 MKZ with SYNC Version 2 (I think). I would like to know if anyone has done the Apple CarPlay software update and/or installed the USB hub to connect your phone to your screen/apple CarPlay app. Does anyone have a list of part numbers there are required to do this swap? There are few videos about it but more for the F-150 and other SYNC enabled vehicles. Any YouTube links out there? This seems like a great upgrade and would really like to give it a shot. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Edited May 4, 2018 by BigSav 01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ice MKZ Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I had no idea that the Sync system could be updated for older versions to accept Apple CarPlay. I have a 2015 and would also like to know more info if anyone has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm98 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Swap it out ot SYNC 3 hardware and you should be good to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSav 01 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I have considered the Swap to SYNC 3 but at the cost of $1500, I wanted to look into swapping out the USB hub and doing a software update for about $100. If i did the swap to SYNC i'm guessing the warranty would no longer cover the head unit. Correct? Did you swap to SYNC 3? Who did you use to but the parts from? Thanks!

IDMACD Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Howdy Big Sav. You would need the APIM & screen from a Sync 3 vehicle. Costs about $600. Add another $100 for programming, and another $100 for hub and GPS antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
