Hello everyone. I'm trying to find an adapter for the factory sync 3 radio to add RCA cables to run an amp for subs. Has anyone done this and do you have a link to the adapter you used? Thank you in advance!

I suggest you use the search function - there are many threads on this subject, and it all depends on what you currently have (B&O) or (Non-B&O) system / Screw / Scab variances & Trim Level.
As to what avenue you take for powering the sub changes the wire harness needed.

I have the B&O in mine, and somewhere down the road may upgrade the sub and rear speakers

Crutchfield can be good for research into this. You can plug in the details they ask about your truck on their website and they are pretty good and showing the needed parts to make it happen.

I've searching plug and play kits and crutchfield they both have a kit for factory base model but no where in the description does it mention that it works on the sync 3 8inch model and I'm leary of buying it and it not working.

Ok, I found the thread you seek - I believe this covers your current setup
This is the video series I mentioned.
In-Depth information on install and hook-ups

For Ref:
You have the 301A - Package (W/O) Power &Heated Seats
This gives you the 8 in screen - Dual Climate (Auto) - Power Folding Mirrors - Auto Dim (Rear View) Mirror.

302A - Package (W) Power &Heated Seats (Usually Inc with the Sport Package)
Adds Power & Heated Seats - Remote Start - Sliding / Heated- Rear Window

This video series covers the 301A - Package

I not sure where you were looking, but as soon as I select the "better sound with factory radio" under "Car audio & video" I get guided through selecting my current car setup. First question I get after selecting my Ranger is if I have B&O sound system, next is which screen.

But this is a speaker level tap and remote control kit for the base audio with 8" sync 3 display.

Since you mentioned wanting RCA outputs you'll still need to add your preferred speaker to line level adapter.

I spliced into the rear speaker wiring at the base of the B-pillars to connect this. It did not require a separate power lead in for the remote turn-on out (which was nice). Inexpensive and works perfect. Have had it in the truck for over a year now.
