mylx5oh Report post Posted September 27, 2008 Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to put sync into a previous model Fusion, I am looking into buying one soon and i love this future, but i probably can not afford an '08. So I am pretty sure that some '07s had sync right? Could i acquire a radio and harness to add sync? what about an '06. Thanks Note; I am 100% capable of installing such a system.

Hi mylx5oh. :D No 2007 models had SYNC from the factory. It was first offered in 2008 models. Whether anyone has ever successfully installed SYNC into a pre-2008 vehicle (with full functionality?) is a question I can not answer definitively. Some have claimed to have done it, but as far as I know, not with all features intact. To install it would be difficult and expensive. In addition to all of the behind the dash SYNC components and wiring, the steering wheel controls and wiring harnesses would need to be replaced (possibly also requiring an all new steering wheel). Also needing to be replaced would be the rear view mirror and wiring harness (it contains the SYNC microphone). These are simply some of the updates needed off the top of my head. I am sure there are a few more. Whatever you decide to do, good luck. :beerchug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fomocona Report post Posted October 9, 2008 SYNC was available in the 2008 model year Focus which went into production in late 2007. As stated above, SYNC was not installed in any 2007 Fusion. Also, SYNC was not available when the 2008 model year Fusion first went into production but it was a late availability option. I can't recall exactly what date it was but when the factory installed SYNC was available it was standard on the SEL, optional on the SE and not available on the S version. It would be listed on the window sticker. Therefore there are some early build 2008 Fusion SELs that do not have SYNC. SYNC is a factory installed feature and is not sold as a separate package even for Dealership installation. I hope this answers your questions.
