Did you just post your working photos on Facebook? Seen a photo of an SZ2 ICC running Sync3 . But the photo appeared to be on a test bench outside the vehicle? What are the bugs that you ran into ?

Correct that photo was actually taken in my FG Falcon as i was doing a software update on the apim. Bugs might be from the old software on the unit
V 2.0 Software which has now been updated to V 3.0 and 2017 Maps. I'll do some more testing today.

The icc was originally a FGX Sync 2 after a lot of hours i managed to get to work in the FG with just a can bus module and a new airbag module.

Today i found out i cannot get to work in the FG as i cannot deactivate drive in motion lock.

So this morning i attached to the territory did some more modifications and can now say it's working 100% in my SZ2 Territory. I'll give it a week before i give it the ok need to be certain no little surprises come up.

Awesome work! I saw the facebook post, Which Sync3 unit did you get? As in from what car? I'd assume it was cheap from a wreck.

I assume the original FGX brackets worked alright? or custom brackets required?
