Product Description
The SYNC 3 Upgrade Package for the 2016–2019 Ford® Police Interceptor® Utility is a complete retrofit solution that brings modern infotainment technology to earlier model years. This package delivers a responsive touchscreen interface, Ford Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, climate control integration, and driver-assistance functionality—all engineered to operate seamlessly within the Interceptor platform. OEM-grade hardware ensures that the system looks, feels, and performs like it was factory-installed.
Background Information
This upgrade has quickly become one of the most requested solutions for 2016–2019 Police Interceptor Utility owners. Many drivers rely on these vehicles in demanding environments, while others purchase retired units for civilian use. In both cases, the absence of a modern infotainment system has consistently been one of the most significant limitations. Owners wanted the same functionality and convenience as the newer 2020–2024 models—and this kit makes that possible.
As demand grew, especially after the successful release of our 2020+ kits, it became clear that 2016–2019 customers deserved an equally refined solution. We carefully evaluated feedback, reviewed installation data, and worked directly with our manufacturing team to ensure that this package would meet the same standards of reliability and performance. The result is a fully engineered upgrade that brings factory-grade technology to vehicles that were never originally offered with these options.
Today, the SYNC 3 Upgrade Package for 2016–2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is back in production and fully in stock. Every component is designed for seamless integration, ensuring that installation is straightforward and the end result feels OEM. From enhanced navigation and climate control to smartphone connectivity and advanced driver-assist features, this upgrade transforms your Interceptor into a vehicle that delivers comfort, usability, and modern capability.
We remain committed to supporting both law enforcement agencies and individual owners who continue to operate these vehicles. By offering this upgrade, we give the 2016–2019 Interceptor Utility a second life with the tools and features expected in today’s driving experience—helping owners get the most out of their vehicles without compromise.
