Sync 3 upgrade alternatives?
The biggest feature I missed out on my new 2014 F350 King Ranch was Android Auto. There is the reasonably well documented Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade out there that would get me there. As far as I can tell it will run me around $400 or so these days getting parts & installing myself (which I easily have the skill for).
Are there any other Sync alternatives that are any good? I've seen iDatalink Maestro as allegedly a viable interface to the HVAC & other systems Sync ties into. Any recommendations for or against something other than Sync 3?

Critical features
- The usual bluetooth hands free audio integration
- Android Auto (Apple Car play too I guess for the wife)
- Still able to control my heated seats (really wish there were physical buttons for that)
- Temperature & compass
- Additional camera support for a additional cameras (3rd brake like cam for gooseneck hitching, front bumper cam, etc.)
- Ability to force on the reverse camera when not in reverse (to mostly aid in parking in only 1 slot when pull through parking)
- Ability to monitor other stuff (gauges & the like)
- Any reason Android Auto an ODB2 dongle with Torque, Forscan or the like can't do that as effectively?
