Hacking the SYNC 3 System/Screen/Radio

[Z K]

Hey Mates!

So has anyone been able to successfully hack/modify the SYNC 3 system? I am curious to see what is out there, and what is possible?

My initial interests would be to have the following from most desired/highest priority to least:

• Get rid of the annoying “features have been disabled while your vehicle is in motion” popup.
  
  
• Auxiliary video input via HDMI (or mini/micro), or RCA mini jack AV, or even regular component/video input.
• Android screen mirroring/sharing.
• Web browser / open WiFi and system access.
• Streaming apps/videos like youtube, etc…
• Android apps (e.g. torque with ODBII adapter)….
• GoPro WiFi integration / dash cam / track cam (I know I know this one is way out there hopes and dreams).

What are everyone’s thoughts? Feedback? Or any info already out there?

There isn’t much information available about your questions. I have a huge interest in your suggestions too. The Sync 3 plays mp4 files as music, but it doesn’t seem there is a way of showing the video. The. USB ports can play 128gb flash drives very well, but the beautiful screen needs the ability to play both video and images when the vehicle is in park. The GoPro idea would work well for my Ford Transit 350 on numerous occasions. I’ve searched both Amazon and ebay, but there isn’t anything available YET. Here’s hoping a lot of products are made very soon.

If we can get something like this for SYNC 3 with added HDMI/USB/WiFi connections that’d be a great start:
