Some pretty interesting links. There's also some good information in there that gives a nice head start. Thanks for the info! So far it appears they are still trying to achieve a shell and haven't got it yet. It does show that it is possible to hijack the sideload updates which is good news. This is getting fun and really intriguing.

Thanks for those links! Unfortunately for me, its all on MyFordTouch :/ (I have the older Sync) Although the PDF about Windows 7 Automotive embedded may be of help!

My excitement level is growing.  I want this to happen!! 

Using stock hardware, with minimal replacement (I think it's understood/ expected that a larger HDD will be required aside from firmware locking reasons).  I think the XBox route is a good initial path to take, hopefully that proves fruitful.

Ideally we can get a workable image of the HDD to create a VM and dive in.  I foresee touch screen climate control functionality being fairly difficult to replicate.  This could be an issue as some of these are only accessible on screen.  If we are able to pull drivers from the base image, this would be tremendous help here specifically. 

I'm reaching out to a contact that may have conducted some forensics on Sync when it first came out as a side project when he was in between projects at work.  If he has anything, chances are it'll be company IP, but its worth asking.

Looks good but not OEM. That's an IPAD custom fabbed in to the housing. Kind of what we are going for but not really since that removes the OEM screen

looks like a kenwood ddx9902S (with KCA-WL100) plus the idatalink rr-for01-ds3 is the way to go.

supports everything the factory system does, and also supports android auto and android mirroring

Looks like an option for the 10-12, 13+ is not available.

So nice of a system but way out of the price range for most family men. I'm trying to achieve that on a budget, say $200 range. That would make it available for even the most tightest of budgets. The lock pick alone is $350, plus other supplies you're looking at the 400-500 range. Also like ShoBoat said, it's not for 2013+ (which is what I'm currently driving).

Yeah, the problem with the dash kit is there is only one, technically it is made for non-touchscreen cars, it's like 250 just for the dash kit, let alone piling on the adapters and head unit. I have the dash kit, and have been trying to figure out a headunit, at this point, I just need one that lets me control my phone (Android) through it, I don't want Android Auto as it doesn't work that well. I found a kenwood that is less than 400 that would do what I want, but its still a hefty price to pay.
EDIT: I also have no idea what to do about the cutout where you are supposed to put the radio screen that is on the non-touchscreen radios, but not the touch screen setup

i dont see a way to do it on the uber cheap...not without fully hacked sync software which I havent seen anywhere.

Well just as an update, I ended up ordering the wrong cables...It has the correct ends, however the pin assignment is wrong, they need to be swapped, so instead of
1357      the cable makes it  2468
2468                                  1357

This also explains why I got them for 3 bucks a piece, compared to the ones I really need that are 13 a piece...at this point, I don't know if I want to spend almost 30 dollars for something that may not pan out to anything, I rather take it and put it towards upgrading.... I'll keep looking around to see if I can find the cable cheaper and keep everyone updated. In other news, I bought a CanBus Triple and will see what I can hack (nothing audio wise) with it!
