i found my new bezel (which you dont need) and a APIM for $400. I used car-part.com. You just have to look for wrecked 16's or 17's. Mine came from a Eco PP car and had nav.

follow Hextalls post and its quite easy especially if you already have MFT.

Hi friends has anybody buy from this guys?
There site is www.4dtech.com
I bought their kit for upgrade from sync2 to sync3 w/NAV. NAV is another $500. They have a specific mustang 2015 install video on their site and in Youtube. Every part you need is included, and the apim is programed with your VIN, and fully updated with sync3 ver.2.2, and includes CarPlay and android auto. They even give you an adapter for one of the hub cables that were changed from 015 to 016, and, of course, they include the new hub.

It is very expensive and it's much cheaper to figure it out yourself. But if you are willing to pay for it, it is a one-stop, plug and play solution. So far it has worked perfectly.

BTW if you check out OEM/Infotainment, (who sells a similar kit) they have a dash dissassembly video that is one step easier. But it's one made for upgrading a 2016 to add nav, not a new sync3. Watch it until you tear apart the dash, then go to the 4dtech one for the hook ups.

good luck. sync3 is so worth it! but be sure to include NAV! Much better than apple maps nav.

What should we look for on car-part.com? I see a ton of "receivers" but not much detail. Any specific id or part number for the APIM, or is the APIM the receiver?

I just ordered mine last night from 4DTECH. I am looking forward to having Apple Carplay and the new screen format. Back in 2012 when I got my first Ford with MFT, it was fine, but now MFT is just old dated tech.
