Q: How long will it take to process and ship my order?

A: Every upgrade we offer is carefully prepared and tailored specifically to your vehicle to ensure a premium, factory-quality experience from the moment it arrives. Fulfillment times can range from 2-10 business days, depending on parts availability and customization requirements.

From the moment your order is placed, our team begins a detailed preparation process that includes:

• Identifying and sourcing the exact components required for your specific vehicle, including genuine OEM parts
• Verifying that all included plug-and-play wiring matches your vehicle’s exact factory specifications
• Professionally programming and bench-testing your upgrade to ensure proper operation before shipment
• Documenting the process with photos and/or videos for quality assurance
• Carefully assembling your order for a secure shipment by our warehouse team
• Coordinating with our customer service and technical support staff so they are fully prepared to assist you before, during, and after installation

Our goal is simple: deliver a seamless, high-end upgrade experience with the attention to detail your vehicle deserves.

Q: Which Explorers are compatible with this upgrade?

A: 2020-2024 Exlorers equipped with the 8-inch display are fully compatible with this upgrade. Unfortunately, Explorers equipped with the 10-inch vertical display are not compatible. Contact your advisor if you'd like to downgrade to the 8-inch display to benefit from this upgrade.

Police Interceptors with the 4-inch display is not compatible but we could recommend a friendly competitor Police-Lab.

Q: Will my rear backup camera continue to work as designed?

A: Yes. Your factory backup camera remains fully functional and is pre-programmed to work with the new system.

If you experience any back up camera issues after installation, please allow up to 48 hours for the system to sync fully and acclimate to your vehicle.

Q: Will I retain factory installed SiriusXM® Satellite radio as well as AM/FM/SXM radio presets?

A: Yes. If already equipped with factory SiriusXM® satellite radio, all functionality is retained, including mixed-mode AM/FM/SXM presets.

• SiriusXM® now offers a powerful smartphone app that can be streamed directly through your vehicle using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. This allows you to access your favorite channels, playlists, and on-demand content without upgrading your audio hardware. Check out our quick video for a demonstration of how it works.

Q: How are future Sync 4 software updates installed?

A: All systems ship with the latest available software. Future Sync 4 updates are not available over-the-air and must be installed at an Infotainment facility at no additional charge.

Q: Will FordPass® continue to work?

A: Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with FordPass®, functionality is retained. However, performing a Master Reset may disable FordPass®. Restoring FordPass® would require reinstalling the original Sync 3 system.

Q: Will the CD player continue to work after upgrading to Sync 4 (if equipped)?

A: No. The Sync 4 system is not compatible with the factory CD player feature. If you would like to retain CD player capability, please contact us as we have a quality aftermarket CD player kit prepared to be released soon.

Q: Will my factory steering wheel audio controls continue to work?

A: Yes. The system is pre-programmed to function with your existing steering wheel-mounted audio controls.

Q: Will my Bluetooth® hands-free calling continue to work?

A: Yes. Simply pair your phone to the new Sync 4 system to continue using Bluetooth® hands-free calling and audio streaming.

Q: Do I need to inform Infotainment if my vehicle has aftermarket additions?

A: Yes. If your vehicle has non-factory additions, let us know in your Shopping Cart “Order Notes” so we can properly program and enable any required features that may not be present on your vehicle’s original build sheet.
