It's COMPLETE, Microsoft SYNC in 2008 F-350
#31
I don't see justification for the time or money spent on this project. To each his own, but do you actually use that stuff? I have never used a GPS. I don't own an iPod. I have never need a backup camera or sensors. I don't have a cell phone that has BlueTooth capability. I just don't see it.
PS Don't get caught talking on your cell phone in school zones.
It's not 1960. If it were, you wouldn't have been driving a far more powerful and capable PSD with disc brakes, etc.
Also, as far as sleeping, eating, shopping, etc., I would plan what towns I would stop in along the way and know where the establishments are in those towns.

sync upgrade
Hey can you give me his info? I have a 2008 f450. I have nav and Sirius and backup sensors. But I wanted to install sync, rear backup camera. Thanks!! $
What many said could not be done, has been seamlessly integrated into my 2008 f-350 king ranch.
I started with a stock 2008 KR. that contained the older style factory nav unit.
I wanted to upgrade the unit, and maintain the factory look to the newer 2011 style nav units, and add iPod integration, Bluetooth phone support, reverse camera, etc.
With the help of a user of this forum, I was able to do just that.
I purchased a 2011 headunit on eBay, as well as the reverse camera/tailgate handle.
All of the programming/and custom harnesses (harnesses all contain factory connections for a PLUG AND PLAY install, the harness are all wire loomed and taped and look just like ford OEM).
THE GUY REALLY DOES SOME QUALITY WORK WITH ALL OEM PARTS! his tech support is second to none, and he always answered the phone when I called with a question.
The parts I needed to do the entire swap:
Rearview mirror with mic and display
Both left and right steering wheel control buttons
Steering wheel harness
Sync module
2011 head unit
Amplifier for head unit
Externally mounted OEM GPS/Sirius antenna and splitter cable
Tailgate camera/handle
Custom plug and play harness'
I am also sure there is some other pars I am missing.
If anyone has any questions, PM me and I will share both my experience and his contact information.

I've always said it could be done but wouldn't be worth the cost. Though now that most parts may be turning up in the bone yard that may not be the case anymore. My 94 Mustang didn't come with a 351, but for some reason it seems like a logical project for me this winter, though I would't have messed with it when new. As they get older mods make more sense. How much did the project run you? Did you do the labor, or did it all get contracted out?
