Quick note about the GPS antenna. The guys at 4Dtech reached out to us and let us know that putting the antenna in upside down like we did (black side down, silver side up) has potential to cause GPS tracking issues. We haven't had any, and they said if that's the case then awesome, we should just leave it, but we wanted to mention to you guys that when you're putting yours in, if you have any GPS tracking issues after install, try flipping that antenna so its black side up, silver side down. If you've got any questions, ask them here or reach out to 4Dtech directly; those guys are awesome and super responsive!

Awesome video. Just finished this on my 2013 Raptor after following this video step by step. Thanks guys!!! I was able to get around the issues of the molding by simply yanking and pulling (carefully!) on the top vents to where they popped out enough where I could get to the two top screws. Also, I noticed that despite providing my VIN, the Raptor logo does not come up when I turn the system on. I bought my SYNC3 update kit from a different vendor, but curious if anyone else had this issue? Maybe it’s an unavoidable thing with the upgrade?

So, after my last post, I reached out to the Chinese eBay seller who sold me the kit and asked if it was possible to get the Raptor logo installed since the kit did come with an OBD connector. He responded and asked me to download FORScan and TeamViewer. Logged in today and he remotely was able to install it into my truck. Pretty impressed. It looks awesome. I have also reached out to him to ask if he would be interested in sending you guys a unit for a review on KZitem. Thus far the system has been working well. Couple of minor glitches after unplugging the device but 99% of the time, it works well. I’ll report back again after a few months of use but thought I would at least put this out there.

@MotorsandMischief

Yeah for sure, thanks for asking! So you're probably familiar with going on Amazon and seeing literally the same product 40 times from 40 different sellers, and that's what you're seeing with the $600 Sync upgrades on Amazon. We haven't seen any on Amazon (could be wrong but we having found them) that aren't Chinese knock-offs. Most of the knock-offs are not well built, but are designed to be as cheap as possible. With 4Dtech, you're getting a product from a company here in the USA, you get to deal with real people for tech support, who know what they're talking about and will actually reply and help you resolve issues, and it comes with a 1 year warranty that 4Dtech actually stands behind. Plus, there's a 100% money-back guarantee. Honestly, we should probably buy one of the $600 ones and do an unboxing and comparison, so we'll keep that in mind for a future video. When we went to do this video, we reached out to the top manufacturers to see what they would do to help us out. 4Dtech was quick to answer (and has always answered every one of the many inquires we've sent to them since then on your guys' behalf) and worked with us promptly. The other top company was located in China, and we never even heard back from them after their initial reply that they'd love to work with us. We feel like this is really one of those situations where you get what you pay for, and 4Dtech will give you a better built, better quality product and then stand behind it. We should also add that 4Dtech's system uses Genuine Ford components including the Nav system control module and the touchscreen, and the system is keyed to your vehicle's VIN, so no trip to the dealer afterwards to get it functional. Also, if it makes any difference, we don't make a commission or anything off of the units you guys buy. We got a deal on the unit that went into our truck in the video, but we continue to support 4Dtech because we are impressed with the company, not because we're making anything on the sales. Hope that helps, let us know what you end up deciding!

So the kit that I bought on eBay is a $600 kit from China. They too offer a one-year warranty. All the logos on the back of the unit says Ford so it appears to be a Ford unit. I guess time will tell as far as it standing up to the test of time. Agree that it would be good to see a review on one of the less expensive ones like mine. I was all prepared to go to 4D tech as well but as soon as I saw the price it just made it unaffordable, even with the discount.

Yeah that part sucks, we agree. The whole front camera setup kinda sucks tho, since Ford won't let you use it unless you're in 4 wheel low, locker engaged and maybe even some other stuff. It would be great for parking and maneuvering if you could just flip it on whenever you wanted. We feel like the upgraded benefits of the SYNC 3 are worth the few times the front camera would have come in handy with all of Ford's caveats, but we understand some people aren't going to feel the same way. We're working on a way to use the front camera with an independent screen so it could be on whenever you needed it. We're not sure how that will work but we'll post a video if we figure it out.
