Upgrade from Sync 2 to Sync 3

I have a 2013 F150 Limited that has the Sync 2 system and I'm considering upgrading to the Sync 3.
From what I've read online in different places that swapping everything out is pretty simple.
About the only negative comments that I've come across have to do with the vendor(s).
So I'm wondering if anyone here has upgraded their Sync 2 to 3 and if so how did it go? Are you happy with it?
Where did you get your upgrade kit? Anything to watch out for?
Thanks in advance.

Forscan experts can probably do the upgrade but they know more than most of us. Cyanlabs has a large following and website and is legit from what I have read in numerous posts.

I pulled the trigger and upgraded.

But I'm having problems with the turn by turn navigation. Ask else works great. I've swapped emails with the vendor and they believe the module got programmed wrong. They are supposed to be sending a fix for it.
We'll see.
Thanks everyone!

I ordered and installed the 13-14' Ford F150 SYNC 3 Upgrade for MyFord Touch from 4dtech.com in 2018.

Installed it without any issues using 4D Tech's step by step YouTube installation video:



With CarPlay, I use several navigation apps: Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps or onX Hunt.

7 years later, no regrets.
