SYNC 3 swap, It's all in here

[GilmourD]

@StangTime's suggestion helped somewhat but not entirely.

What part number am I looking for to get the correct antenna?

@HextallS550, just following up in case you know the part number for the correct GPS part(s) so I can order them.

I'm not sure if its been explained previously but how do I enable Nav with MFT. I have the option for Nav on my screen but it says there is a GPS fault every time I start the car. Is there something else that is needed or needs to be programed through forscan?

What year is your car?
Are you trying to install MFT or Sync 3

My car is a 2015, I have had MFT installed for 2 years now using a Sync 3 adapter harness from Hellhorse Performance. All I want is for the gps to finally work and after doing some research it seems that the sync 3 harness moves the gpsm pins around. Any help would be appreciated!

That harness, which was stolen from my company, will need to be modified if you want it to work with the 2015 GPSM. The issue is that your not giving the APIM the MS-CAN signal.

Gotcha, which pins would need to be moved around? Also MS-CAN stands for medium speed correct?

I have a base 300A 2018 GT. If I install this, how will dual air control work if I currently have single controls. How does it split the air controls?

It doesn’t convert your car to Dual Automatic Climate Control. It will remain single zone manual climate control. The AUTO button and passenger temp rocker switch are not functional. We are working on adding Single Zone Automatic Climate control as an option but I don’t have an ETA.

So, are you saying that you may have found a programming solution to get rid of the handful of FCIM error codes?

It's funny that it thinks it's adjusting something (my wife always tries to raise the temperature on her side in my retrofit) but I guess there's no actual hardware to receive those signals, huh?

Yes. It’s not programming though. It’s an actual hardware solution.

No, the HVAC module in a base car only has 1 mode door. Premium cars have 2.

Oh, that I know. My '15 GT started life as a 300A with absolutely no options but the previous owner installed (without programming, which I ended up having to do myself with this thread's help) the Sync3 setup that's in there now. I was just saying that my wife tries to adjust the control on the passenger side and it displays a temperature change but doesn't actually do anything.
