I just bought a 2011 Lincoln MKX with super low miles. It has SYNC2 in it. I am looking at all the kits online and it is seems a simple enough install. I also already have a license for FORscan just in case I run into any problems. I was reading on here that people should be lookin for Gen 3 (Part # starts with a J) or Gen 4 (Part # starts with a K) due to the board being better in those versus the H version (Gen 1/2). I just bought a kit from a supplier that promised I would get a KL3T-14G370-PCH Gen4 APIM pre-programmed for my VIN and also add navigation and backup camera for me as on in the programming.
Am I going to run into any issues with the KL3T APIM in this older car or should it be fine? I did not have Navigation from the factory but I heard it isn’t hard to put that in with a donor VIN. I also didn’t have the OEM backup camera, but have the OEM backup camera being shipped to me as we speak and I plan to wire it to the APIM at a later date even if I have to run wires up to the head unit to do so. I am hoping these things are already pre-wired all the way to the back so I can just splice and add, but I don’t know how Ford handled their wiring for cars with and without backup cameras at the factory.
I just want to make sure the KL3T APIM will indeed work fine for my needs. Forgive me if this is not exact location this post should be in.
