Replacing the USB hub is easy. Not plug and play though. You'll need to solder 2 wires (refer to my sync 3 post for exact soldering instructions) Unless the Falcons have the same connectors as the new hub but I highly doubt it.

Sorry to jump in on this post.

I am trying hard to find a way to change my sync 2 2016 wildtrak to a sync3 or even better a after market solution but no one around the gold coast seems to know what to do or how to do it

Alpine seem to have a solution....very pricey.

I know this is an old thread, but I have managed to get apple CarPlay and android auto installed into my FG-X. Looks the part, that’s for sure. Can’t seem to post a photo. Maybe I can sort Apple CarPlay but can’t sort a photo online. Wonderful ha.

Edit: bought from soso.co.nz - I posted a review on google reviews which includes the photo

Hmm, looks like a decent compromise: https://soso.co.nz/product/ford-falc...tegration-kit/

It's not full Sync3, only the Carplay/Android part. But looks pretty slick.

P.S. you can upload images to somewhere like imgur.com then post the links here.

Just wondering if anyone has fitted this to a SZII Territory.

I sent an email to the supplier and they have confirmed the FGII Sync2 upgrade unit can be installed in a Territory so just checking if anyone here has used this unit and how did installation go?

Hi Folks,
New to the SYNC upgrade discussion.
I’m looking into the hardware swap out of Sync 2 to Sync 3 for my LZ ST.

Does anyone have any advice on what hardware version to buy?

As Sync 3 rolled out there would have been hardware revisions no doubt (CPU, RAM video etc) just wondering if there was an ideal hardware version I should be asking my potential supplier to provide so i can get the best Sync 3 experience.

Cheers all.

You could contact these people in New Zealand. I have and they replied back to me.

Can I ask if you went ahead and bought a unit. I'm thinking of doing the same for our Terry and noticed since my last post I think their website lists a product specifically for SZII Territory's Sync2 whereas prior it was just FG's.

There are plug and play kits available specifically for the Tez.

No I did not. I just asked specifically if would fit an FG-X (which it does).


If anything I am leaning towards a Mr FPV unit as linked above.


Aeropro also planning to have a FG-X unit development I believe. (For the aftermarket Android H/U's like the FG Mk. I. )
