HOW TO: Add MyFord Touch/Sync 3 to base model S550

[Patio208]

There are only two non functioning buttons. The passenger side temp control and the mode toggle switch (which might be possible to activate).

Interesting......I have a base GT350 on order and I'm thinking about adding sync 3. So you're saying if I install an OEM bezel it would be possible to activate the selectable exhaust toggle switch?

That would make this MFT premium upgrade fully functional (except for the heated and cooling seat buttons). Can't wait for your results Zack.

I would think for the 350 it would be a direct plug and play solution as the exhaust modes can still be changed on the base models. The programming and wiring is there. Just need the switch to make it work.

The programming I did was not meant for the premium bezel. As long as enough testing has been done which includes pulling DTCs it is possible to add it. It would def. suck not knowing what your temp is set at with the premium bezel. It needs to be sent back to me though.

What would be needed to pull DTCs?

I do it with IDS.

 

[zackmd1]

Ah so something like an OBD2 diagnostic tool wouldn't work?

 

[jmr061]

I can't answer that...I only use OEM stuff.

 

[zackmd1]

OK well when I get everything hooked up I'll attempt to pull DTCs with the tool I have. It can read other DTCs codes. Question is whether or not it will be able to read all codes and not just ones related to main systems.

I pulled em. Only 2. One is the sd which i didnt wire up and the other is the amp which isnt installed. Nothing else

The amp is related to your premium acm. So that's good. No DTCs relating to the climate system. My theory is that the programming of the single and dual zone units in the 15 are identical if not near identical. The only thing the single zone is missing is the second actuator and passenger blend door.

What happens when you try to use the dual climate control? Does the hard button indicator flash or anything or does it think its working?

 

[aggieStang]

It thinks its working. The screen responds and switches to dual mode. Just no action from the hardware

And so the next step begins. Thanks again aggieStang!

Cant wait to see what comes of this new set of experiments!
