infrarad Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hey all! Sorry to make this my first post, as a quick into I got a 2020 SWB TC cargo over the holiday and I'm already getting to customizing! Perfect for hauling pinball machines ? I'll try to document anything I work on here in the forums, glad there's an active TC community! Intro aside, my first upgrade is swapping out the 4.2" basic stereo with a 6" Sync 3 system. Having seen so many other Sync 3 upgrades in other Ford vehicles, I figured it was just a matter of gathering parts and programming the APIM. Sourced a dash bezel, screen, and Sync 3 APIM from a wrecked 2019 TC. Immediate problem however, there's no traditional 54 pin APIM connector. Seems like the radio unit (AHU?) handles pretty much everything. Is there an APIM at all to replace? I also have the entire wiring harness from the '19 TC to reference but I'm baffled on where it all connects to. Shorter version, is this kind of upgrade even possible? Any input is appreciated! Attached are a couple images I've taken along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) There's a guy in the transit connect'ed facebook group who does these conversions for a living. Perhaps he's willing to share the information. Edited January 17, 2021 by mrtn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered aftermarket but it seems like that would be just as involved these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony3876 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 We’re you able to install the 6.5” sync 3 radio in place of the 4” and if so can you please point me in the right direction.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowasaur Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I followed the steps in this Thread to swap a sync3 system into my non sync 2020 transit connect. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/how-to-sync-3-4-swap-for-non-sync-3-xl-xlt.11860/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
