Delmar Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdkool Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 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.

bostintransit Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 @Delmar did you ever figure this out? My 2014 Transit has the same exact radio (no SYNC) but the dealer says my APIM is fried so the radio doesn't work. I'm struggling to figure out what part I need to replace, since every reference I find for the APIM includes SYNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
