This is getting frustrating. I want to do this but I can not find a yard around me with any newer F150’s. Anyone able to help with the TCU and antenna?

I seriously don't understand how people are struggling to find wrecked F150's in North America. It took me 90 seconds to find these two recent 2017 302a wrecks with a basic online search. There's dozens more potential candidates sitting around in salvage yards.

It was. @DanMc85 was the person who did it. He wrote the first ever guide on how to retrofit Sync 3 in place of My Ford Touch. I'm pretty sure he flashed his gateway module (for an unrelated project) before he installed Sync Connect into the same car.

I guess that doesn't help installing it on Sync2 then

Well, my point is, I think the gateway module could be the bottleneck even though it hasn't been fully confirmed. I agree that flashing module firmware is extremely risky.
