Sync 3 Mods

General

To be able to install any Sync 3 Mods, your SYNC 3 system has to be jailbroken first!

To do this, download and apply the following basic Mods first:

1. Sync 3 Jailbreak
2. FMods Installer (Daemon)
3. FMods Tools (ModsTools)

There is a guide on fmods.net with additional info how to jailbreak your Sync 3 unit.

Mod (Modification):

A mod is essentially a customized alteration or improvement of a factory feature within the Sync 3 system. It requires direct modifications to the original OEM Sync 3 files to function correctly. Here are the key points to remember:

• Mods build upon existing Sync 3 features, enhancing or tweaking them to suit specific needs.
• They often rely on modifying proprietary OEM files, which may require expertise in reverse engineering or understanding the inner workings of the system.
• In most cases, mods are applied using patches to avoid infringing on FoMoCo copyrights. This can lead to some challenges: - Mod authors may need to update their patches with each new Ford Sync 3 system update, which can be cumbersome. - Cross-mod compatibility can be tricky to navigate, especially if multiple mods modify the same files.

Mods are divided into several categories in the fmods.net database:

1. Basic
2. New Features
3. Graphics
4. Utilities
5. Miscellaneous
6. Tools

Sometimes people make custom mods that are not suitbale for the fmods.net database. They might be in the fmods.net forum or shared through the fmods.net Telegram channel
