Radio with no SYNC or Bluetooth

Just purchased a 2016 clean XLT LWB. Has the 2nd row buckets and rear liftgate which I really wanted. Neat feature is the huge moonroof with power sliding cover. But the radio has no Sync to connect a phone? Odd combination of options. Would like to swap a basic SYNC unit, or even better swap an aftermarket Android Auto head unit.

That's an odd combination for sure. Maybe the SYNC APIM module is defective? I'd bet on that more than the the SYNC module not being there.

 

I installed the SYNC 2 module in mine (from basic AM / FM radio) and it was quite the undertaking as I had to fabricate a harness for the modules (the SYNC2 APIM and standard SYNC APIM module plugs are very similar with a few slight differences). If yours really didn't come with SYNC and there isn't an existing harness, I wouldn't bother retrofitting the original unless you're very motivated.
