Fitment Verification & Quality Assurance

While placing your order, we expect customers to have a basic understanding of their vehicle, including its components, model year, and factory-equipped features. Just like when purchasing a vehicle from a dealer or previous owner, you are expected to understand basic information about the vehicle, including its equipment and general configuration, and to be aware of at least some fundamental features and common knowledge. To ensure compatibility, we require your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which will be verified through our internal database and official Ford Motorcraft as-built data systems. Orders will only be processed and shipped after we have confirmed that the selected upgrade is fully compatible with your vehicle. In cases of mismatch or unconfirmed compatibility, we will contact you via phone or email to review the order, and may recommend an alternative product or cancel the order upon discussion. Once your order has been verified, prior to shipment, all modules will undergo a final bench test conducted by our professional technicians as the last step before shipping, ensuring that every component is fully functional, properly configured, and free of any defects. This process allows us to maintain a 100% standard of product reliability and performance. As a result, our service eliminates the possibility of receiving a product that does not fit or is incompatible with your vehicle. Since each order is validated and confirmed prior to shipment, all sales are considered final, and we are unable to offer refunds based on compatibility or fitment-related concerns.

Product Description

Designed for those who want to have the Ford SYNC 3 Infotainment system in the 2020+ Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This retrofit/upgrade will get features like touchscreen, Ford Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, climate control, driver's assistance, etc. Necessary hardware is also included for those who wish to integrate with aftermarket high-end audio components.

Background Information

The wait is over. As the exclusive global designers of this unique plug-and-play upgrade solution, we are happy to bring the OEM Ford SYNC 3 system to your 2020-2024 Ford Police Interceptor Utility.

For years, adding SYNC 3 to the Police Interceptor Utility was thought to be impossible. Many have tried, but no one could create a clean, non-invasive upgrade that preserved the vehicle’s original integrity—until now.

Our team at Police Lab wasn’t willing to accept this limitation. We spent time on researching, testing, and perfecting a solution because we believe no driver should have to compromise when it comes to technology. Now, we developed a meticulously engineered SYNC 3 Retrofit Package that transforms these vehicles into something that feels straight out of a Ford factory—without sacrificing reliability, simplicity, or affordability.

At Police Lab, we know how frustrating it can be to drive a vehicle that lacks modern conveniences—especially for the officers who rely on the 2020-2024 Ford Police Interceptor Utility for their demanding work or for individuals who purchase these vehicles after retirement from service. These vehicles, while highly functional, are missing a key feature that has become essential in today’s driving experience: Ford’s SYNC 3 system.

SYNC 3 isn’t just an infotainment system; it’s the bridge to a modern driving experience. From its 8.46″ or 10.1″ touchscreen and Ford Navigation to its seamless integration of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, climate control, etc., this system elevates convenience, usability, and comfort.

Whether you’re upgrading your work vehicle or enhancing a retired Police Interceptor® Utility, this package is for you. It’s for the people who demand more, expect more, and deserve more from their vehicles.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Unmatched compatibility: Our solution integrates perfectly with the existing systems of the 2020-2024 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, delivering a smooth, factory-level appearance & experience that feels like it was always part of the vehicle.
  • Affordability: Despite the challenges and innovation involved, we’ve priced this retrofit far below the market cost of similar upgrades for other vehicles, because we believe modern driving should be accessible to everyone.
  • Seamless installation: We designed a simple plug-and-play process, so there’s no need to worry about complex wiring or invasive modifications.
  • OEM-Grade materials: From corrosion-resistant connectors to anti-interference shielded wiring, we used only the best and/pr OEM Ford materials to ensure long-term performance and safety.

Design Highlight & A few Things We Considered

  • We selected new series 8.46″ touchscreen and 10.1″ touchscreen (bigger size and higher resolution) as the infotainment touchscreen instead of traditional 8.0″ display, which is larger and better than the one offered on retail Ford Explorer;
  • We designed the touchscreen mounting bezel completely in-house;
  • We considered the difficulty on this full upgrade package install so we offered 2 different install locations for your convenience while not interfacing with other vehicle cabin component;
  • We considered a situation that some customer might be interested in upgrading the OEM sound system so we designed and offered aftermarket sound system integration ports at no extra charge;
  • We considered a situation that some customer might be interested in adding additional vehicle-signal based equipment such as remote starter so we designed and offered Gateway Module EasyAccess™ T Harness at no extra charge;
  • We offered free installation service and vehicle feature programming service for buyers in Greater Toronto Area or those who can make their way to Great Toronto Area (upfitting location will be at our vehicle warehouse).
