16 17 Ford Explorer Sony Sync 3 Radio Bezel Screen USB Carplay Android

For the 2016–2017 Ford Explorer, this is a high-value "upgrade kit" or replacement. While 2016 models often came with the older Sync 2, many owners look for this exact Sync 3 setup because it adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

Selling the Sony-branded bezel, the 8-inch screen, the APIM module, and the USB hub together, this is a "Complete Conversion Kit" and can command a premium price.

Important Installation Note:

If you are upgrading a 2016 Explorer from Sync 2 to Sync 3, this is a physical bolt-in swap. However, you may need to use FORScan to program your vehicle’s specific "As-Built" data (such as heated seats or climate control options) into the module for 100% feature matching.

Market Value (March 2026)

• Complete Kit (Bezel/Screen/APIM/Hub): $550.00 – $750.00

• Why it sells: Buyers with 2016 models are desperate to get rid of Sync 2. Selling this as a "ready-to-install" package saves them from having to hunt down the USB hub and modules separately.
