Hey guys I just recently installed Sync 3 into my 2015 Expedition XLT that only had the 4" display. I used the harness from https://breeves002.net/product/4-to-8-plug-n-play-conversion-expedition/

Now I need to get the steering controls to work. I'm using my old ACM so the volume works on the steering but my seek buttons and voice command doesn't work. Also hands free calling doesn't work. I have hear or talk during the call. Need to activate the speakers and mic? If anyone knows what to change in forscan that would be awesome.

Thanks!

That’s a good upgrade. Where did you source the head unit? I don’t use the seek buttons or the voice calling features. I’d make sure you are Bluetooth synched to your phone.

Hers how to get the seek button and voice command steering wheel buttons to work.

Steering wheel 'voice control rocker' and ‘Seek’ not working at all. Is this something that is wrong on my APIM setup? fixed with solution below. specifically, the settings for 7D0-01-01 (xx21 xxxx xxxx). The default apim setting was 22 and this was incorrect. inserting 21 fixed the problem. icon_e_smile.gif
