Who we are

We started SimplyMichigan in 2019 because we were just like you and wanted to upgrade our vehicle to Sync 3 but didn't think $2,400 (the typical price at the time, via one of our .com competitors) was a fair price... and we still don't! We began selling hardware on eBay and have slowly evolved since then. We've built a reputation for selling quality hardware at a fair price. All of our competition claim that their products/services are the "best value" but their products are still over $1,000 for a complete kit (while ours are $600-$800). That company that use to sell their hardware for $2,400, still to this day sells theirs for nearly $1,800. We'll always continue to try to give you the best hardware and service possible for a fair price.

Screen Fitment Guide

Unsure what screen type your vehicle has? No problem! Use the guide below to see if your vehicle has a standard screen or a recessed screen. Have questions? Please don't hesitate to ask us for help. You may use a different screen type if you wish however screen bracket modification will be required (must drill new holes for most vehicles, use double sided 3M VHB tape for Ford Edge)

Standard Display Vehicles

Recessed Display Vehicles

Polarized Sunglasses Notice - We've noticed recently that some of our replacement digitizers are polarized (allows you to see the display better, similar to the sunglasses) in such a way that polarized sunglasses may counteract with each other (light moving in opposite directions), as a result the display will look dark. Please read this support article for more information and for a possible solution.

Chinese Counterfeits - Consumer Advisory

Beware of APIM modules coming from Overseas/China. The United States is FLOODED with fake Chinese "parts built" Sync 3 APIM modules. These can be found everywhere from eBay, Amazon, and even other .com companies selling Sync 3 conversions. It's hard to tell the difference between an authentic module and one of these parts built modules if you don't know what you're looking for. Even if you aren't purchasing from us, please be cautious from who you purchase your hardware from.
