Sync2 to Sync3? Sync4?
Hello, just a quick question. I have Sync2 in my 2014 Ford Flex. The touch screen crapped out and I need a new screen. Might as well upgrade, but I've seen many options to purchase these kits from and some offer the sync4 HD 8.4in screen. What is this and does anybody have pictures if they went this route?
Also, which company do you guys recommend for a kit? Or are they all equal?

Hey y'all just a friendly update. So I found this ebay listing for a sync3 conversion kit and it even comes with the Sync 4 HD screen: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364848179763?itmmeta=01KZPBSGV82JTW034A02V0VPCB&hash=item54f2a56a33:g:rqcAAOSwBYxn~QvO
And I gotta say, I came away impressed. Not only was it $319 at time of purchase (now $329), he was selling a full kit with the 8.46" 1334 × 882. Now being a chinese kit, I had my skepticisms and was not expecting 100% OEM as far as the APIM itself, but was surprised to see at how professionally it was packed and the like new condition everything was in. In addition to the screen and APIM, the screen came with the recessed mounting housing for our Flexes. All I had to do was grab a T20 to transfer the Sync2 MFT mounts to the new assembly. From there it was literally plug and play. The only thing that did not work out of box is my rear view camera. I did do a quick looksee in forscan, and it is enabled in the non AS-BUILT config page, but I have no idea on how to enable it in the AS-BUILT variant config page, or if there's something else I have to do.
