Sync 1 defeated for the most part

[nutzNboltz]

Dear Ford,
I love your Cars and Trucks. I know you thought putting the Sync bastǝrd base unit in an XL could defeat me. It did not. Remote start, check. In truck WiFi, check. No DTC's, check. 9" Android HU with Nav and 2TB drive, check. Fun factor making it all work, no check mark.

I will try and do a write up in the next day or two, provide links to the unit I used and some of the drawbacks. I will be adding a 360° cam setup if it ever arrives. PS the unit was $277.36 shipped ( from China ) not including the hard drive which was collecting dust on a shelf.

Me also Ty. However, being technologically challenged it will probably be beyond my skill set. I may need my neighbors 12 year old to stop by for some help. lol

Nice job David. Looks good.

It was more intimidating than difficult. A good bit of trial and error. Lots of coffee and a bit of cussing.

Wow. Too much work for me.

Well heck, I've got both of those things down to a science. I may be OK then.

Just wanted to touch base. Still waiting on the 360 cam. I will have the dash open again and show some of the silly stuff. With the dash open I will take some PICs and do the write up with details.
Sorry to any that are waiting.
