I'm not sure what you mean by paying for sync to work. I've done it 3 times now in 4 years of ownership, it's never had a problem recovering.

I'm not sure what all your issues are, but if it's what you describe in the other post then I'm pretty sure the rebuild software will work just fine. Everythjng had a harness, that just connected to the factory, radio harness!ĭennisI responded to your post in the other thread, actually re-posted information I had put in that same thread 1 page prior.

My favorite part, was there was NO cutting or splicing of factory wires. youll also want the Maestro Rr Module, to retain Steering wheel controls, and if you wanna keep Sync! I got it from for 749.99 refurbished, about a yr and half ago. Seperate usbs in my console for my ipod, and usb drive), Hd Radio, Bluetooth, etc. The 892 I had, included Pandora, Iheart Radio Apps, 2 usb inputs on rear ( I ran Youll also need a sirius xm tuner, if you listen to that, theyre like 35.00, and you can use the oem antenna, if your truck has it already from the factory.

Total install time was 3 and half hrs, going slow. I aslo installed a oem style backup cam from (you can choose to get it with Parking Guide Lines or Not), when I installed the HU. I kept sync, worked well for me, but no reason to, if you dont wanna pay extra for it. I had a Kenwood 892 with Garmin nav built in, in my 2012 xlt with Sync. Oh yeah, can I sell my old radio receiver when I remove and replace it? I want to recoup some of my lost investment. If I can get it to work, I will still replace it all but try and sell the other system on ebay (or here on F-150 forum). I am going to California for a few days and I am going to stop at the Rosen tech center and see what they can do to fix my SD card - for the third time. Is that true for the 2012 version of Sync? So, why do I need to worry about Sync? Or is it just easier to integrate it all anyway? Some OEM (Pioneer and Kenwood models) say they can display the vehicle info such as gauges and climate control.

The new units come with Bluetooth and all kinds of App integrations. I didn't really use the Sync that much and now I have to pay a subscription. Does my current OEM radio have an Sirius/XM module internal or external? How would I know? If external, why can't I just use it? The radios say they are Sirius-XM compatible but I would need an external module. Research there leads me into more confusion.

I am thinking now of upgrading to an OEM Nav receiver like the Pioneer AVIC or similar. I could go into a ranting detail but I will leave it at that.

I've had plenty of issues with the Nav system and the SD card. I made the (unwise) decision to install the Carshow OEM (Rosen) nav system which was a 'plug and play' to the existing radio unit. I have a 2012 F-150 XLT Screw with factory Sirius and Sync. After reading so many posts and getting lost in the woods, I decided to shoot this flare and see if someone can guide me to the right place.
