Sync 4 Upgrade for 2020 Explorer
- Thread starter thereynolds
- Start date
Carplay2Air is a relabelled Carlinkit AFAIK. There is a new Carlinkit v. 2.0 which has some hardware improvements. I've had it 2 weeks now and it works fairly well. I made sure it worked and then updated the dongle. Everything went smoothly. For the most part it works fairly well. The nice thing about getting it from Amazon is that you get it quickly--not shipped from China, and can be returned if there is something wrong with it or you can't get it to work. I don't mind paying a little more for that.

I really hope this isn't still true.
From Akins Ford:
What Ford Vehicles Have will Have SYNC® 4?
Unfortunately, there is no way to upgrade your SYNC® 3 infotainment system to SYNC® 4. You will, however, be able to find the next-generation infotainment system on upcoming Ford models.
What Ford vehicles will have SYNC® 4? The SYNC® 4 platform will make its first appearance in the new 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, which is set for release in late 2020. After the Mustang Mach-E, Ford will begin rolling out the SYNC® 4 platform on most redesigned Ford vehicles starting in 2020.
Ford revealed that SYNC® 4 will be able to function on screens as small as 8-inches, but the Mustang Mach-E starts on the other edge of the spectrum. The new all-electric SUV will feature a full 15.5-inch portrait aspect touchscreen, the biggest screen size that SYNC® 4 supports.

From ford, it looks like a no

In the past and likely in the future, you just swap out the APIM and screen. Not exactly cheap. I wouldn't find it worth it but you might. Ford has already moved past Sync 4 to Google, and some who have seen Sync 4 up close were not impressed. I just want something that will do justice to Carplay. The infotainment in my wife's 2021 Audi Q5 is amazing compared to what we have. Makes our display look like some kids version of a tablet. Even the camera feeds are high resolution but the Carplay is outstanding.
